The organization was established in 1999 with the primary objective of educating and rehabilitating disabled children. It began by identifying disabled children in both government and private schools across Malur taluk of Kolar district, providing them with education and rehabilitation services. Recognizing the challenges faced by severely handicapped, especially mentally retarded children, in regular schools, the organization initiated a free residential special school for mentally retarded children in Malur. Over time, the organization has expanded its social activities with support from state and central governments to empower and uplift disabled children, women, elderly individuals, orphans, and marginalized communities neglected by society.
An integrated approach to build a equitable and empowered society
OUR VISION
Our vision is to establish a vocational rehabilitation center for mentally challenged children, providing medical care, vocational training, and recreational activities to nurture their holistic development and integration into society through self-employment opportunities.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to eradicate disabilities through transformative programs, produce beneficial resources, and establish specialized institutions for vocational and educational training. We promote self-employment and support disabled children's education through scholarships for skill development.
Provision has been made to provide midday meals (afternoon lunch) for around 9,500 children attending government and aided schools in Hoskote, Bangalore Rural District. This program, known as Akshara Dasoha (Midday Meal), ensures that these children receive daily nourishment during school hours.
The society is establishing a special school for mentally challenged children at White Garden, Arleri Road, Malur, Kolar District. This school will serve 75 children, providing them with valuable services. The organization has collaborated with the state government for this initiative. Additionally, the organization conducts annual medical assessment camps for the children enrolled in the school.
Nandadeepa has established open shelters as support facilities for vulnerable children in need of care and protection, including working children, ragpickers, street performers, orphans, children of migrant populations, and other vulnerable groups. Presently, 33 children are benefiting from this program, receiving free food, clothes, accommodations, and education.
At our home, we have 25 elderly citizens under our care, supported by a dedicated team of volunteers who attend to their needs. We provide free food, medication, and accommodation to these individuals. A part-time doctor and nurse oversee their health, and in cases of serious medical issues, they are referred to a local hospital for further treatment. Additionally, we have a social worker available to accompany them to the hospital and provide counseling when needed.
Chaitanya Old Age Home was inaugurated with a commitment to providing comprehensive care and support for elderly residents. Currently, we have 11 residents who receive personalized attention and access to all necessary facilities. Our dedicated staff ensures that each individual's physical, emotional, and social needs are met with compassion and respect. At Chaitanya, our mission is to create a nurturing and comfortable environment where our elderly residents can live with dignity and peace of mind.
Health Checkup Camp
At Chaitanya Old Age Home, we conducted a comprehensive health checkup for our elders on May 1, 2024. This initiative aimed to ensure their well-being and address any health concerns proactively. The event was well-received by our residents and caregivers alike.
Meditation Program for Elders
Every day, we host meditation sessions tailored for the elders in our old age home, promoting tranquility and mindfulness. These programs provide a peaceful opportunity for residents to center themselves and find inner calm. Through these sessions, we aim to enhance their well-being and overall quality of life.
Weekly Bhajans Program for Elderly Residents
Once a week, we organize a 'bhajans' program for the elderly residents of our old age home, offering them a joyful and spiritual experience. This initiative fosters a sense of community and cultural connection among the participants. The 'bhajans' uplift spirits and create a lively atmosphere filled with music and devotion.
Computer Training
Children receive basic computer skills training once every two weeks to familiarize them with essential operations and software. These sessions aim to empower children with fundamental digital literacy, preparing them for academic and future pursuits. Through this training, we equip children with valuable skills that enhance their technological capabilities.
Sports and Games
We host sports and games competitions for our mentally challenged students every six months, fostering their physical and social development. These events promote inclusion, teamwork, and a sense of achievement among our participants. Our goal is to create a supportive and empowering environment where every student can thrive and enjoy the benefits of sportsmanship.
After School Activity
Once a week, our NGO organized an after-school activity focused on developing children's basic motor skills. During these sessions, dedicated teachers assisted children in improving hand and leg movements. The activities aimed to enhance coordination and physical abilities in a supportive and engaging environment.
Kannada Rajyotstava
Kannada Rajyotstava was celebrated on a grand scale, where children participated in many cultural activities and it was witnessed by the parents.
Yoga sessions
Yoga sessions are conducted for elders who have disability issues. This helps them to perform their regular activities without experiencing body stiffness, which can often result from medication.It is the small change that makes the biggest impact.
We have rescued 25 women and 3 children from human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
