Madurai, Tamil Nadu.
Hi Frenz,
On 9th Mar, we(myself & RajaSoundar) visited Thiyagam Narpanbu Kalvi Maiyam(TNKM) @ Madurai. We had a good chat with the chief trustee Amudha Shanthi & her brother Selva. They are very much enthusiastic abt the development of the village students nearby Madurai. Currently we are supporting 5 villages’ teachers’ salary.
Earlier they were working on “village pattern”. Now, they r in “individual pattern”… Meaning, they analyze the impact of the Narpanbu kalvi maiyam on every induvidual in that village and they showed us every student’s report and it was really happy moment for us to know that the change is happenning.
After the discussion, we visited two of the villages and spoke with those children too. Their attitude, behaving with other were so matured. (As I too came from a village, I could realize this). The teachers trained the students now itself to help others. They ask everyone what he helped that day and encouraging them to do more, even it’s small help like bringing bucket water to mom. Really interesting. 🙂
We were fully satisfied with the training provided by them. Finally, we had a very nice village “karuppatti” coffee also. 🙂

Hi Frenz,
First of all very much sorry for the much delayed mail. (I think, this becomes usual. I hav to change it.) 😉
BTW, we (Myself – 91 and Senthil kumar – 144) visited Thiagam women’s trust, Madurai. The trust is run by AmuthaShanthi, who is physically challenged. First she started a weaving m/c training for physically challenged women. Then, now she expanded the centre for poor women also, in and around madurai. Actually, now the centre is run by her sister, who has dedicated her life for this centre. They export the small items which are manufactured in the centre.
Two yrs back, they started a programme called “Thiagam Narpanbu Kalvi maiyam” (TNKM). In this programme, they choose one or more villages(mostly slum areas) as the target and started teaching the school going children some gud habits and lessons. They select the faculty in the village itself. First they train the faculty, then appoint them as faculty. Some voluntary persons are training the faculties without any fee. And, TNKM will take care of faculties’ payment. They said, after they started this course, most parents came and told, “My son is giving me respect now only.” Yes…. B4 that, the children used to call their fathers “vaada, poda”. J
The trust doesn’t have any regular income. So, they are struggling to pay the amt. So, at present, their primary need is tuition fee for 5 faculties. Currently, they are paying 300/ each. And, they feel the fee is very less and so they wanted to give atleast 400/. So, totally it comes around 2K per month. And, we(TCE-Crescendo e-grp – 2003 TCE CSE Alumnis) decided to pay the amt by ourselves thru India Sudar for the next one year. (Actually, this also took some time to discuss with my friends, and so the mail delay)
Below is the details of TNKM, if u wanna know more.
Luv,
Athi (B +ve)

THIYAGAM NARPANPU KALVI MAIYAM(TNKM)
Vision: Man-Maing:
1. To excel in ones field of knowledge through academic exercise
2. To become a responsible social being through unfoldment of
human values
3. To create Role Model citizens in each and every field of our society who will set an example in uprightness, integrity and humaneness.
Objective
It is well known fact that Schools have less time for Value Inculcation due to heavy syllabus and result culture. Children from rural areas are put into lot of stress due to examination related fear. Due to various reasons Values are not inculcated in schools in an effective way. Life skills are the need of the hour in villages since lack attention from Parent side as well as schools.
This gap in a small way is filled up through our humble effort of Thiyagam Narpanbu Kalvi Maiyam(TNKM) initiated by Thiyagam Women Trust, where equal emphasis is given to Values along with academics. TNKM is focusing on the all round development of village children. These centres provide opportunity to regularly discuss Value themes with children. Noble personalities from different fields are invited to talk to children and share their valuable experiences. These will help children to improve their life skills and act in a responsible way in all situations. When these children grow up they would not compromise on the ideals on “Caring Society” set forth before them and become emotionally matured citizen.

3. Manigandan and Vijay are friends. Vijay stole some money at home and informed to Manigandan. Immediately Manikandan explained that how it’s wrong to steal something and made him understand. Vijay came to his senses and apologized to Manigandan. He also promised that he will not steal anything in future.
4. Solairaja was a student of very adamant type. He would talk sharply with his friends and parents. After his studies at TNKM gradually he changed his behaviour. Now he is polite and courteous.
