PADI
Primary Education is a fundamental right of every Indian. PADI emerged in 2004 to ensure that this education is given in a meaningful relevant and effective way to all children. VALORED aim was to see that rural education be child centered in its methodology, in planning and in implementation, that subjects be taught with value orientation, greater emphasis be given to the education of Dalith’s, tribals and especially to the girls, involvement of the community in the education process and that the education be faithful to the local culture of the children and their communities. This urge to work with primary schools in collaboration with the government prompted us to make a study of schools in rural areas including the places most remote and difficult to approach in Karnataka.
PADI at the local level (Tulu) literally means equality, a measure, method or way, likeness or similarity. Hence we felt this work to be very appropriate as a name for our society that works for equal rights for all children in connection with Education. PADI has no color, caste, creed, gender or religion bar. All children are just equal.
By observing the improvements and backing up towards the development, PADI has now taken steps for the Child Friendly Environment in Schools through the Child Friendly Panchayath and SDMC. Acting as Support system to Right to Education Cells Implementation. Serving through CIF having its Unit as CHILDLINE 1098 Collab agency Mangalore.

Aims of Education
Child-Centered and not merely teacher-oriented in its methodology, in planning and in implementation.
Content- oriented to values every lesson and every subject be taught with a value-orientation.
Primary Education
Creative teaching and child friendly teaching is what is most needed in the process of imparting education for the present generation of children. Children’s reasoning and questioning power has to be encouraged by the teachers.
Training and Exposure
Under this programme a team of 8 teachers had been to Araville in the month of February 2007 to study Isai Ambalam School Education system so that they could see if the same could be implemented in the D.K. Schools.
SDMC Training
For the last consecutive 3 years Padi has been involved in conducting SDMC training programmes. This year too the Govt. had introduced a new circular on the recent changes in the SDMC.
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.
