A BRIEF NOTE
The Association has undertaken to help children in difficult circumstances and disadvantaged sections of the society and develop the standard of education of children in the region. Project Krushi was born in the year 1994 with a home for street children and over the years has grown in size and scope. It can now house up to 150 children. It is located at its own premises 2.5 acre campus at Gowdavelly Village, Medchal Mandal.
The new premises of Krushi Home was inaugurated by His excellency Shri. Rameshwar Thakur, The then Governor of Andhra pradesh and Orissa on 24th February 2007. Krushi Home is a self contained green complex covering around 20,000 Sq.ft of built up area with well planned facilities.
The Alumni of Sainik School Korukonda who having benefited from the excellent all round education at their alma mater, undertook the onerous task of “giving back to the Society”. Inspired by the advice and motivation of the founder Principal, Cdr Almeida, the Association is deeply involved in a number of socially relevant and socially beneficial projects. Project Krushi and Campus Challenge are two iconic institutions being run by the Association.
Project Krushi; a home for children in difficult circumstances, is the flagship project undertaken by the Hyderabad Chapter of the Association located at Gowdavelli Village in Medchal Mandal of Medhcal-Malkajgiri District. Through Project Krushi we also provide direct assistance to a number of rural Government schools with additional staff, infrastructure and educational facilities and material to improve the standard of education in the region.
Krushi Home with a humble beginning in 1992 in a rented house in Methodist Colony of Begumpet is now housed in its own premises on 2.5 acre land amidst verdant greenery in an aesthetically and ergonomically constructed building which is fully environment friendly with a solar energy plant providing all its power needs and a water recycling plant which enables it to recycle all its waste water.
Every effort is made to counsel and restore the children who are brought to Krushi Home to their parents/relatives. Those children who cannot be restored to their parents / relatives, for various reasons, are retained in Krushi Home are provided with a well-kept home, given wholesome education with the ultimate objective of making them self-sufficient and responsible citizens. The purpose is to get them reintegrated with the main stream of the society The effort has been hugely successful with almost all the boys passing out of its portals so far being gainfully employed in decent jobs and with many reaching decent professional and societal status.
