Valored’s Vision of Education

We believe that the right to education and the right to have its full childhood belong to every child in the world and in the country, in which so many millions of children do not have access to any school but are enslaved in hard work right from their early years.  We also believe that education should be in- keeping with the psychology of the child – not a burden or a period of boredom, with emphasis on discipline and punishment but a pleasant experience in which the child learns at its own pace and rooted in its own experience, and not  that which is imposed  by teachers and the education department. We believe that education should lend itself not only to the intellectual growth of the child but also to its moral and social growth to enable the child to be a worthy citizen  and equip him/her to face the present day challenges to create a better society..

Child Right Awareness

Child abuse, child labour, child trafficking, child rape, kidnapping have been increasingly coming to the notice of the general public and the police, but because of lack of proper awareness on child rights and the J.J.Act neither the Department nor the police or the general public were able to react in a justifying manner to such cases.

As such the children are the ones who are suffering without getting proper justice. Hence wide spread awareness programme were carried out on J.J.Act, Child Rights and Child Acts. One such programme was carried out for the Department,Police Personal, Lawyers and other NGOs. Prof. Ravi Verma Kumar- Senior Lawyer of High Court, DR. H.V. Parshwanath- Deputy Commissioner, Mr. G.V.Hedge- Session Judge of D.K. District, Prof. B.K. Ravindra- Principal,SDM Law College were present for this programme. Similar programmes were also carried out in Bantwal, Belthangady, Sulya, Puttur and Mulki at different dates in the year.
To make people understand and be aware of the hardships that a child labourer or street children under go, an Art/ photo exhibition was held at St.Aloysius College Hall.
