Dear All,  

August 2009  

One of our India Sudar Action Board Members Mrs. Sumathi Ravichender informed us about a student by name Mohana, who is a bright student from a poor family. We forwarded her details to our India Sudar OCP (Open Charity Platform) group and are waiting for someone to come forward to support her financially.  

Meanwhile, we have completed the detailed verification of  her school and family background.  

Student Mohana D/o Mr. Inbarasu

Student Mohana is from Alanthur, Chennai studied in Saint Thomas School, Butt Road,Chennai and scored 1012 marks in her II PUC. Her father Mr. Inbarasu is a tailor and earns around Rs. 6000 per month. Her mother is a house wife. she has two younger sisters.

 Mr. Inbarasu encouraged his daughter Mohana to become an engineer and which was a dream for both. She went through her engineering counselling and opted for B.Tech(IT) course at  Sri Muthukumaran Institute of Technology, (Affiliated with Anna University Chennai), Chakkarayapuram, Kundrathur Road, Near Mangadu.Chennai- 600 069 (Tamil Nadu).

 To complete her admission process, she had to pay Rs. 60,000 within 15 days, which was indeed a shock for Mr. Inbarasu.

Fee details :

Admission+ College fee : Rs. 35000.00
Bus fee for 1 year     : Rs. 15,000
Book fee Rs. 10,000

 Seeing the  above fee structure, Mr. Inbarasu was compeletely down and he tried his best to collect some money for her first year fee, hoping that he can manage through educational loan from second year onwards.

 We posted her details to our India Sudar OCP and we could not get much response until the last day arrived. Meanwhile, Mr. Inbarasu approached us many times on phone and he lost his hope.

 Dream come True with India Sudar and Build Future India (BFI)

 Thanks a lot for Mrs. Sumathi Ravichender and our parter organization Build Future India (BFI) for their effort to arrange money and make their dream come true.  

 Current Status : November 2009  

 1. Mohana scored more than 75% in her 1 UNIT Test and she is busy preparing for 2nd UNIT Test. Her father is very happy to see her going to college and her mark sheets. He expressed his hearty thanks to India Sudar.  

2. Mohana would approach SBI to apply for her education loan next week.

 Attachment :

India Sudar project report is attached for your reference. As per process, the copy of receipts, mark sheets, college allotment letters are with India Sudar for reference and record purpose.

Indiasudar-KA team had partially setup the computer training center in August 2009 in Chikkakurugodu as part of the India Sudar Computer Shikshana Kendra Project.

Recognition of IS efforts:

We started in this district by providing notebooks and stationeries to Chikkakurugodu school in 2006. Since then, we have setup library, computer center while continuing to provide notebooks every year – an effort that has helped this school become the number one in this taluk segment and also one among the top five in the district. We have also grown over these years to support more than 10 schools with the total number of beneficiaries upwards of 1500, all from utterly backward segments of the district (See http://indiasudar.wordpress.com/category/ka-chikkarogudoo/)

In recognition of IS efforts over the last few years, Sri. Shivashankar Reddy, the honourable MLA of Gowribidanur presented a letter of appreciation and gratitude to India Sudar and also felicitated the IS volunteers. This was followed by cultural programmes and a meeting with the parents.

Special thanks:

- Synopsys and Valtech for having provided excellent systems/laptops

- Azim Premji Foundation for providing the Educational/ Interactive software CDs and make this project a success.

- Special thanks to all volunteers for setting up and installation of the computers

We earnestly request you to continue your support for elevating educational standards of the underprivileged in rural segments.

Santhosh

Hello All,

Greetings …. !

Last weekend (30th oct 09 – 31st oct 09) we (Vinod, Rama and Prashanth Gane) visited Gulbarga for setting up first pilot Learning and Library Center. Agenda was to set up 4 Learning Centers for Janani CMRC Kamalapur, Janashakti CMRC Sulepet, Sarvodaya CMRC Kalag, Jyoti CMRC Kodli, Arunodaya CMRC Nagaidalai and 1 Full time teacher in Ratal Govt School and 1 Library center in Kamalapur.

We started our meeting by 0900 hrs and in a short while Learning Center Teachers from all the CMRCs joined.
There were,

1. 3 Teachers from Jannani CRMC, Kamalapura
2. 1 Teacher from Janashakti CMRC, Sulepet
3. 1 Teacher from Arunodaya CMRC, Nagaidalai

who joined the discussion. We selected 1 teacher for Kamalapura and 1 for Sulepet. Two selected teachers are ladies and male candidates were not promosing and dedicated enough for Learning Centers. Teacher from Arunodaya we could not select as he was very experienced and was not having Science and Maths Knowledge. From Kalagi CMRC and Kodli CMRC teachers did not turn up so we could not finalise the Learning centers.

Selected Teacher Information:

1. Bharthi, 9743029939 – BA, BEd for Sulepet – 1000 Rs for Per Month till March 2010
2. Gayatri Kallappa, Currenlty studying PUC Science for Kamlapura – 1000 Rs for Per Month till March 2010

Learning and Library Center Location

1. Govt School (Temp) Sulepet.
2. Community Hall Maragutti Village.
3. IS Community Library, Kamalapur CMRC.

About Community Library Centers – Kamapapur
We have provided 176 Community and chidren books to Kamalapur CMRC. There was very good response from all the CMRC members as well as Kavitha Madam, CMRC Manager. We asked to maintain a Book Shelf along with the Library Register which would be used to track the books taken for reading. We advised CMRC manager that if rent system for books is implemented then it would be good for long term maintenance of the Library. With a IN and OUT entry in the register we will come to know about the interest of individual person so that for the future Library centers we can pick related books.
Ex. 5 days books for free renting and 6th day onwards till the book is not returned they can charge minimum fine of 25 paise to 50 paise and the money collected with these can be utilized for further book purchase as well as maintaining.

About Learning Centers

1. Every month 2 test would be conducted by teacher and results to be shared with IS. This will enable us to find the performance of the teacher as well as find the GAP where we need to concentrate.
2. Evaluation for Teachers.
3. Expectation set with the Teachers. Based on the students response and learning capacity Teachers can make necessary improvement plans.
4. Sharad the complete career path poster with Teachers as well as Kamalapur CMRC Manager. Kavitha Madam assured that she will try to get it painted in the school as well as CMRC. This will help students to know the different options available after PUC II.

We this is the pilot project which we started we are 100% sure that in coming months we will reach to most needy places.

We are very thank full to HM Kulkarni Sir, who took time to make this visit successful.
