The Objectives by which we would achieve these was to

Work with communities unmindful of their caste or creed but to concentrate specially on the weaker sections of society and specially those based in rural areas

To strengthen the formal education system and making it more effective, relevant and useful for the children of the underprivileged and marginalized section of society.

To work with the teachers towards making primary education child-oriented.

To make the schools community-centred where the community is involved in every aspect of the running of the school and framing the syllabus.

To have a network of teachers. Teachers too are adults who are the products of the prevalent value system and hence may not be ready for a change. Hence have seminars and workshops on relevant topics which will enable them to think, reflect and act and pass this on to the children placed under their care.

To liaison with the government along with the local communities, the teachers and the local Panchayats when and where change is necessary in the field of education.

To spread the practice of democratic values of equality, respect for every one rich or poor; educated or non educated, literate or illiterate, respect for women and the girl child; cooperation versus competition, sharing versus self accumulation.

To create public awareness regarding children’s problems especially the negative biases towards the girl child, child labour and child rights.

To work for the promotion of:
Child Rights.
Equality – Equal opportunity and status for children of both sexes.
Eradication of child labour system.
Education and health for all children.

Since values have to be caught and not taught this could be done in our teaching methodologies, the teachers’ dealing with the children and the harmonious involvement of all interested in the welfare of the children bearing in mind that every player in this field of education is equally important.

To let this movement spread in an organized way to the different taluks and to the district as a whole.

The primary goal of development is humanization.  The poor, through centuries of oppression and exploitation, have been dehumanized.  The major task of development is to give back to them their true human image and dignity. Humanization is person’s first vocation; even though it is being constantly negated though injustice, exploitation and violence by oppressors. But, at the same time, it is affirmed whenever the oppressed yearn for their freedom and for justice and when they struggle to recover their lost humanity……….  This humanity cannot be compartmentalized by the problems or activities….  In development a person is to be regarded not as an economic entity or even as a political entity, but as a total human person, living in communion with other human persons.”    – Desmond A D’Abreo

Goal :  Work towards an education for creating a just humane and equitable society.

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..
