CHILD DEVELOPMENT

CARDS recognise that each child has an inherent right to life.  And the society has the duty towards the development of the child’s personality, talents and mental, physical abilities to their fullest potential. 

CARDS takes up community based initiatives for ensuring these rights.  The activities include campaign for immunisation, enrollment campaign, supplementary education, child labour elimination and special care for children with disabilities. 

TECHNICAL EDUCATION FOR YOUTH

CARDS excels other institutions by giving efficient Technical Education for the school dropouts,  poor and needy young boys and girls.  It has well versed resource personnel to teach the interested candidates on servicing house-hold electrical items and also audio and video equipment.

Every year about 20 to 25 boys benefit from this and become experts.  This training helps the youth for self-employment and channelize them from going astray. It is taking steps sincerely to increase the number of beneficiaries in the years to come.

 WOMEN DEVELOPMENT

Women’s contribution for development form a major share but they have little resources to call their own.  They are deprived and denied of their rights to life, development, protection and participation.

CARDS is striving to get them organised into self help groups and provide a learning atmosphere so that they become aware of the root causes of deprivation and denial and take proactive role to secure their rights.

  CARDS as a facilitating body, strives to link the disadvantaged people with services. The Persons with Disabilities, are linked up with District Rehabilitation Services,

The aged and widows are get the supportive pensions, The widows and parents of low-caste people are

assisted to avail educational sponsorship for their children,

The small and marginal farmers are linked up with the Block Development Office for availing agricultural implements and subsidies in procuring seeds, saplings, fertilizers and pesticides,

The young people are oriented about the possibilities of going in for higher education or vocational education.

RESOURCES

CARDS profess the ideology that ‘people are the best resources for themselves’. In this context, it initiates the disadvantaged people to get organised and enables them to collectively strive for their development.
