Aims & Objective:

Many rural poor have daily battle for the basic necessities of life. The problems of the rural women cannot just be explained in words.

So many, so many under-prevliged are there in our society. They often comprise the most neglected, marginalized and unlettered of their community. They are usually denied education and the right to enjoy normal social interactions and relationships.

Our aim is to enable every citizen in the villages to rise above the hardships to emerge a healthy productive and contributing member of society

Keeping the special problems of the rural people in mind, we started our mission towards achieving our aim in 1976. The first task was to sensitize and train uneducated members of the community by specialists and professionals so that they can spread awareness.

Things were, pretty bleak in the beginning. But with the support of generous people like you, the situation started changing. Our institute helps the children learn skills and vocations that would prove useful to them in earning a living and becoming independent.

At present we have: 1.Home for the Children (Boys and Girls separately) in which 200 Less-fortunate children are staying. They are given food, shelter, clothing and Books free of cost.

All these are possible only with the help of people like you. YOUR ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IS WELCOME AND IT WILL GIVE US NEW STRENGTH. YOUR CONTRIBUTION WILL STRENGTHEN US AND GIVE A MORAL BOOSTING. WE SERVE THE POOR IN REMOTE VILLAGES.

Members of Apex clubs, Round Table, Rajasthani Association, Lions Clubs all over the world have recognised our services and coordinated with our efforts in the service to the community.

Our services have been appreciated by M/s INTERFACE who are able to get donors and they have started supporting our programme. To start with they have sponsored three schemes and they have promised to do more. This was possible because of the efforts of CIOSA through Ms.Usha Sridhar of INTERFACE.

Through Usha Sridhar, Ms.Nikhila Sridhar has come forward to associate DGSEA with "WE FLAP" for getting help from prospective donors.

GAIL(India) Limited continue to help us under the Coporate Social Responsibility. They have supported many of our service projects. It started with wter supply projects in the villages by providing Syntex tanks; setting up of training programme on Tailoring & Embroidery in which so many women will be benefitted; providing comfort to the senior citizens of our Home for the Aged and Computer training centre for the benefit of the school children.

THE KANCHEEPURAM District Administration has recognised our services and one among them was the relief work in the coastal villages during the TSUNAMI and heavy floods. We have been given the responsibility of identifying the beneficiaries and supervise and certify the construction of the houses for those poor people affected by the Tsunami.

CHIRAG FOUNDATION TRUST (www.chiragindia.org) have come forward to help us in our services. The volunteers from the trust are expected to visit us shortly to get to know about our activities.

Consider the future of the less-fortunate children.

The facility and comfort you give to your children are not available to these children. It is the right of every child to get educated and it is our duty to provide it the facilities.

Please consider these children as your children • Your visit to our village will tell you more about what you can do for the less fortunate. • The 200 children in the orphanage, the 500 children who are students of our high school, 120 small children in our crèches and the 35 senior citizens in our Home for the Aged join us in praying to the almighty to give you more and more opportunities to go up in the ladder, so as to enable to help the poor without any interruption.

The classes 1 to 10 are in need of good comfortable classroom furniture. Seeing the plight of children,Rotary Club came forward to help. They are helping the Indian schools to get the used school furniture from Japan. They were able to give us 50 sets which is just sufficient for one class room.
