FOUNDATION

Companies may have to spend 30%

of CSR funds for clean IndiaKeen to accelerate

Swa c h h B h a ra t

Abhiyan, the Centre

is considering a

proposal to ask

private companies

and PSUs to spend

around 30% of CSR

f u n d s o n t h e

c l e a n l i n e s s

programme. The

proposal is under consideration of a panel of Union

ministers which is deliberating on ways to fast-track

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's top priority schemes -

Make in India, Jan Dhan Yojana, Swachh Bharat, Digital

India and Skill India. The proposal is in line with the

recommendation of Niti Aayog's panel of chief ministers

headed by Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu.

The panel in its report has said, "A certain part of the

CSR contributions by PSUs/Companies may be spent in

the states where they are located." Niti Aayog's report

had recommended several steps, saying "it is very

comprehensive in its coverage and requires huge

amounts of funds to cover all aspects of the mission."

According to information given to Parliament, during

2014-15, the first year for CSR, the 2% profits of 460

companies comes to around Rs 8,347.47 crore, of which

75.92% has been spent for CSR activity during the year.

This included 51 PSUs that spent Rs 2,386.60 crore.

Cyber Help India makes an endeavour to

provide free computer literacy under CSR

activityCyber Help India has made

an endeavor by taking into

consideration Corporate

Social Responsibility as its

companies value system

and thus has made an

initiative to provide free

computer l i teracy to

students from under privileged community of the society.

The aim of this initiative is to provide computer awareness and in order

to enhance their prospects of employment through Basic Computer

courses to women and DTP Courses to Students free of cost for course

duration of four months. The initiative has been incorporated by

partnering with a Computer institute of Siliguri. As an initial practice

this is our first CSR activity of this kind in the 1st quarter where we are

providing 4 number of students this free education, however we will be

continuing this practice in every quarter of year from now onwards and

in near future further our focus will be to provide free computer literacy

programme to more number of under privileged students and

imposing CSR activity as an integral part of our business module.

“Computer skills are very much essential now days as companies from

every field have started to rely upon computerized technology to get

the work done. Our objective of this computer literacy programme is to

create self sustainability, thus acquiring or having computer

knowledge will help the students to get a job and also better continuity

in a workplace” Said Gautam Ghosh, Founder & CEO of Cyber Help

India.

460 companies spent Rs 6,337 crore for CSR in

FY'15: Arun JaitleyAs many as 460 companies spent a little over

Rs 6,337 crore for corporate social

responsibility (CSR) activities last fiscal,

Parliament was informed. Of the 460

companies, 266 firms spent less than 2% of

the average profit, he said.

In a written reply to Rajya Sabha, Corporate Affairs Minister Arun

Jaitley said a total of 460 listed firms have so far disclosed spending

Rs 6,337.36 crore in 2014-15. This included 51 PSUs that spent Rs

2,386.60 crore.

He added that being the first year of implementation of CSR

legislation, inability of companies to formulate well conceived policy,

delay in formation of CSR committee, difficulty in finding suitable

implementation agency and adoption of long term CSR projects are

some of reasons given by firms for not being able to spend the

required amount. The minister also said that PSUs utilised about 71%

of their mandated CSR fund (Rs 3,359.84 crore), while that of private

sector companies was 79 per cent.

NGO Clinic to help NGOs stay Healthy:The Don Bosco Institute of

Management and Research

(DBIMR) unveiled plans to

set up a 'NGO clinic' to

provide NGOs with short-

term consultancy, to help

conduct workshops and to

act as a platform for net

working among the relevant

NGOs in Mumbai.

The clinic, slated to start on April 22, will be the endeavour

of DBIMR to ultimately be a centre to empower NGOs in all

the relevant areas. It will be based at the Don Bosco

Centre for Learning (DBCL) campus in Kurla. The faculty

of DBIMR will run the clinic and Dr S P Das will be the head.

Assistance of other experts will be sought on need basis.

48 NGO representatives, who attended a special seminar

entitled 'Empowering NGOs for the Future' by DBIMR on

February 15, welcomed news of the new initiative. DBMIR

conceptualised the idea to empower NGOs, given that the

Government of India, in 2013, enacted a law whereby

qualifying companies must spend at least 2% of their net

average profits of the last three years on initiatives in

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

In this context, corporates are regularly in search of

credible implementing agencies like NGOs to commit their

funds for CSR projects. Therefore, it allows the NGOs to

become adept and skilful in meeting the expectations of

the government and corporates. "DBCL has emphasised

outreach activity since its inception and therefore has a

strong networking with NGOs wherein students are

actively involved by means of Social Internship and other

social developmental activities. Being a management

institute, we need to engage with the NGOs in

empowering them with professional skills," Das said.

SBI donates wheel chairs, trolleys and

the occasion to work with a missionary zeal. He assured the medical

improving the health scenario of the district.

Historical monuments now come under the

care of PSUsHistorical monuments across the

country suffer from the lack of

regular maintenance but that is

likely to change soon, thanks to

the intervention of big public

sector undertakings. A total of 18

monuments have been placed

under the care of PSUs like GAIL, SAIL, BHEL, Shipping

Corporation of India and others. The PSUs will spend part of their

corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds on maintenance of

these monuments.

Fourteen PSUs will be taking care of the monuments which are

under the custody of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).

Some of the PSUs have more than one monument to maintain.

The government encourages public private partnership (PPP) for

conservation, restoration and environmental development of

protected monuments and sites under the aegis of National Culture

Fund (NCF), a trust under the Union ministry of culture, Union

tourism minister Mahesh Sharma told the Lok Sabha.

I was associated with abhaya for the last 4 years, It is great opportunity for me to learn many things in the process of

volunteering. When for the first time we visited the Govt Primary School at Jagadgrigutta, we observed the worst conditions in

which the school is functioning. There were issues with drinking Water, Toilets and Kitchen room.

We discussed the situation of the school with abhaya Founder and though the intention was pure no funds available for so many

service projects. But, we are aware of the fact that abhaya always start the projects with pure intention and as always says by

the Founder, If intentions are pure, then gods will start working for the cause. With such thoughts in our heart, we proceeded with

campaigning about the cause. Couple of donors responded with their promises, but they are not even close to the funds required.

But, nevertheless we published in the news letter.

Later in the 2nd week of March, on enquiry from CA Prasad, GM (Finance) Vijaya Diagnostic, Hyderabad, the Founder CS

Balachandra Sunku and Trustee CS PS Rao presented various projects with the help of news letter seeking their help. Within a

span of 10 days of our appeal, Vijaya approved the project to develop the Govt Primary School with their CSR Funds to the tune of

Rs.2,50,000/- . Our happiness know no bounds knowing about their gesture. We further spoke to School HM and met the local

MLA Sri Vivek, he also assured his support in clearing the issues connected to the school. Further we also met MEO, Corporator

and other officials connected to School. We express our heartfelt gratitude to Vijaya Diagnostic for their generous contribution.

Electrician Trade for the unemployed youth at abhaya Home.

I am very fortunate enough to inaugurate the tailoring course for first batch

of 30 women on behalf of the Company on 26th March. 2016 at a remote

village called Chededu. Also understood that people over there doesn't have

proper livelihood. I appreciate abhaya for selecting such a village so that the

women become financially independent and could provide financial assistance

to their families. The women are very enthusiastic and hope that this batch

become a grand success thereby encourages next batch to fully utilize a very

rare and divine opportunity to enhance their standard of living.

Same day I had the opportunity to visit abhaya Home at Ibrahimpatnam and to interact with the students undergoing the

Electricians Trade program. They hail from the rural villages who have completed school and could not continue further education

due to various reasons.

I also visited the inmates of the home, some of them are destitutes, sick and abandoned children. They are treated with utmost

love and affection. I am really moved with compassion and impressed by the Heartfelt and Divine services being carried out by the

there are about 300 families. Most of them are depending on agriculture for their

livelihood. Due to lack of rainfall the income is inconsistent and all the families

are suffering a lot, as they don't have alternate income source. Noone is caring

the village, though there are unemployed youth at every house. But, the newly

appointed abhaya Social Worker, Smt Manga after meeting scores of Rural

Women at the village, approached abhaya with a proposal to start a Free

Tailoring centre for benefiting the village women. Founder after meeting the

interested women in the village in the presence of Village Surpanch & other

women leaders very happily assured them the best possible support for their livelihood. It was decided to set up a Rural Tailoring

Centre to provide alternate income source to the families in the village.

Ibrahimpatnam with a monthly salary to

conduct tailoring classes for 2 months. The

village women volunteered to bring 4 machines

and needed tools for the center with the funds provided by abhaya. abhaya - Secretary, CA BV Prasad along with his friend CA

VNR Students visited: VNR Vignanajyothi

students visited Home to meet the inmate Ravi after a

gap of 3 months and they were amazed to see many

people taking shelter under a single roof. Many of them

are first timers and they are all very happy.

services to all inmates absolutely free of cost.

My father used to say that whenever we get help from

someone, we must return it in double. I was benefited

by abhaya and living a second life here, and I decided to give my best by serving back the society through abhaya. //Sarve janah

Sukhinobhavanthu// - Kusuma, Coordinator, abhaya Home

It was the first time for us to visit abhaya home of

Happiness, and I have observed that the entire campus

was filled with greenery, it was very peaceful place to

visit. No matter how huge the campus may be in size yet

it was all maintained and well cleaned.

I was pained to see many people seeking shelter at

abhaya, the most painful thing was that they do not

even know that they are abandoned by someone. Yet

abhaya has not left any chance intrying to fix the

attitude and condition of this people. Specially, the

young kid Ravi, has shown a huge change in his attitude.

It would be of great help for him if we try to give him some tuitions in basic

Computer applications. Our volunteer team has failed in fulfilling the promise we

have made to abhaya Foundation. But I will try my best to fulfill the promise we

have made. - Chaitanya, Coordinator, VNR Students Force, Hyderabad

I am Kalyan, VNRVJIET, I came to know

about abhya Foundation just before six

months. I have seen a 5 yeras old girl and

many senior citizens taking shelter at

abhaya Home. That little girl could barely

speak anything. But she spoke the word

"Amma" and it was the sweetest word I have

ever heard in my Life. The best thing I have

seen was no matter what kind of hardships

they were all going through they still

managed to care for each other and stay

happy. I really appreciate the steps abhaya

Foundation has been taking in empowering

the Rural youth and providing them

employment opportunities by establishing

various training programs.

Feedback from VNR Students

I am J.Srividya, VRNVJIET College, I have heard

about abhaya Foundation earlier but it was the first time

for me to visit the abhaya Home. I was stunned to see

the kinds of patients and disabled people taking shelter

at abhaya Foundation.

I have never seen any organization trying to empower

the rural youth by providing them employment

opportunities through training programs. It is a very

versatile and essential idea of abhaya in empowering the

rural youth. It was a tremendous experience for me to

visit the abhaya Home of happiness and witness the

extra ordinary activities happening at the home.

I am very thankful to the Founder for giving us a chance

to visit the Home and realize how huge the world is and

how beautiful it can be.

I am Nikhil, studying Civil Engineering from

VNRVJIET. We have visited abhaya Home on

20th of March. Initially I was scared while

travelling to the abhaya Home by seeing the

condition of roads which paved to Home.

Once I reached the campus, all my doubts

just vanished in a winks time. The warm

welcome we received made me comfortable

and we all conversed with the Founder

without any hesitation. Specially, in my case

I was so overwhelmed to have met and converse with the Founder.

Founder stressed the importance of 5 main aspects of Life and that

we are supposed to maintain all the 5 aspects of Life in equal balance.

He has also emphasized the importance of Farmers in everyone's life

and the way we are supposed to save our food feeding Farmers from

all the financial crisis.

I am Dileep kumar student of VNRVEIJT. I

happened to visit abhaya Home in this month. The

campus had a really different atmosphere, away

from all the mechanical chaos we live in every day. I

felt very happy to see Ravi progressing in his Life, his

life has got better than before. I am so over whelmed

that I don't have any words to express the work that

is happening at abhaya.

We need to develop a lot by taking the Founder as our

inspiration. We can learn a lot from the Founder, the

way he talks, the way he works and the way he has

been organizing the activities of abhaya. I wish to

take the Founder as an exemplary personality and

inspire my friends in joining abhaya to do the

community work . I aspire to bring many other

people like me into abhaya to carry out the voluntary

work. I could barely sleep after meeting the Founder

out of great enthusiasm. By taking part in these

activities I am sure we can take the responsibility of

progressing our nation, taking our nation into

progress. - Dileep, VNR, Hyderabad

I am Gayathri, VNRVEJIT, we have visited

abhaya Home in this month. My father is a follower

of Satya Sai Baba and I have been raised with all

the values preached by Baba. That is the very

reason I could personally connect to each and

every word the founder of abhaya spoke. I have

never actually practiced any of the values that are

taught by Baba, but after visiting abhaya

foundation I realized the fact that the essence of

all the preaching's of Baba is to practice them but not to just follow them.

Thank you for igniting the humanity in all of us.

It's an awesome and worthy experience for me to

visit abhaya Home. I have learned lessons for a life

time in just a time span of 12 hours. I am a

Manager of a student organization back at my

college, I know the pain and time it takes in

managing the activities of an organization but after

watching the activities of abhaya I realized that

whatever I am doing is just minute and negligible. I

promise to support abhaya in all ways possible. -

Mission DurgaprasadDurgaprasad from Rajahmundry,

came to Hyderabad for training on

new artificial legs from Bionic. He was

here at abhaya foundation for about 10 days and

trained well. Finally, he has moved from immobility to

mobility. All thanks to Bionic Out Reach, India for

providing the modern artificial limb to Durgaprasad.

I convey my heartfelt thanks to all the people who

supported for my treatment. I am indebted to abhaya

Foundation for accommodating us and providing us

all the facilities we require. Had abhaya not

supported me I would have never be able to get this

artificial limb. And also my special Thanks to Sri

Suresh, Bionic Outreach.

Durga Prasad's note:

Mission NukarajuI am B. Srujana Bharathi, my father B. Nukaraju has been suffering from psoriasis for 3 years. He has been taking medication with the support of abhaya foundation since august 2015. In the month of March, we went to Bengaluru to meet Dr. Sachidananda, he gave a new prescription and said to follow the same for four months. He also said that there is no complete cure for psoriasis but we can control this to maximum extent with the help of medicines. Because of climatic changes my father condition may be ruinedonce again, hence Doctor gave a new medicine for that.

My father is completely aware of his health condition now and he is ready to face any health issues further. I am doing my job well and Iam planning for a shift to any Degree college to save time and also improve my subject knowledge for my career. I shall also earn money to take care of my family and I am searching for home tuitions. Because of abhaya's support I have a plan to manage my family's expenses, father's health, and my career.

I would like to thank the founder for the inspiration he has given in achieving my goals. Thank you abhaya for all the support.

Mission SruthiSruthi missed a few sessions in this

month as she had to accompany her

mother to visit her Grandmother, as

she is not well. They were back after

a week and regular in attending the

classes. She is also recovering slowly

and trying to stand on her own.

Mission RavitejaWith abhaya's request Apollo

Hospital gave a discount of about

50,000 INR and asked them to

pay 2.3 Lakhs. They have paid

two lakhs at the time of admission

and all of that is loan. They are

very poor and could not even get

loan more than that. So they

approached Telangana State

Minister Padma Rao for further

discount. After all the discounts

they still need to pay 1.7 Lakhs

and abhaya supported them with

45,000/- and they got the rest

from one of their family friend by

taking loan on his house. Now

Raviteja is out from the hospital

and he is recovering to normalcy.

Sai ShashankSai Shashank is fully

r e cove red f r om the

accident and is now ready

to attend his classes at

Engineering College. His

urinal pipe and the bag

attached at spleen were

removed in this month. As

of now he is taking good

food to recover fast and we

can expect complete

normalcy in a month. This

is truly a miracle.

Mission Sirisha & DivyaPhysiotherapist Sudarshan is not happy with the

pay and discontinued the treatment from last

month. He is reluctant to give session for both the

children as it is time consuming and he can earn

more in that time. Their mother Manga is looking

out for another therapist and we hope they will

find one soon.

Mission Hari PrasadHari Prasad's mother, taking good care and

taking him to physiotherapy session at Sweekar

regularly. His progress is slow but steady. Apart

from Physio sessions, he need speech therapy

session too. Once he is able to walk on his own,

we can plan for speech therapy.

Hope, you are aware of this little girl Bhavya who met with an accident and

admitted in Vasavi Hospital, Hyderabad about 6 months back. abhaya supported

her during the crisis. She is presently doing well and able to stand and walk on her

own slowly. From crashing the leg under auto wheel to standing on her own... this

is yet another miracle of abhaya

clarifications to my doubts with help of my sister.

M S Abdulla (B. Tech)I am MS Abdulla, studying B. Tech (Civil) 3rd year, VNR

VJIET at Hyderabad. The management of our college has

conducted sports fest and convergence events. In that

Fest, they conducted an event named survey

sages,which is useful for civil engineeringstudents. I

have participated and worked as an organizer and it has

helped me in improving my communication skills,

personal development and also leadership qualities.

While coming to Laboratory's assignments, I have three

exams, Transportation Engineering,Geotechnical

Engineering and Advanced English communication skills lab examination. In

the English lab exam, I have given speech about the "Need of Good Leaders

in India" and also I have given a conclusion saying "Don't Create a Leader Be

a Leader, so that we can build better India" this in fact is one of my learning

which I have accrued from my association with abhaya. After completing my

speech, I realized that, I have to develop my skills. While coming to my

family,they are very happy for supporting me. I am going to college and

institute regularly. Thanks for supporting me for my Education.

Leelavathi M.Sc.,I am S. Leelavathi, M.Sc

(Chemistry), I am doing well

with great support of abhaya

Foundation. I wish to

become a Scientist and so I

wrote CSIR and GATE

examination for admission in

to Ph.D.I am confident that I

will get good Rank in GATE. I

came to Hyderabad after my

exams,now am undergoing

training at NATCO Research institute, with the

reference of abhaya. I have participated in an

industrial training week at Natco research centre

and learning from various departments like

Research and Development Quality control,Quality

assurance and safety control etc., from

pharmaceutical industry and I have also done

project work on Drug master file (DMF). We have

theory classes for another 3 days, they have

scheduled lectures by Scientists from various

Pharmaceutical Laboratories like Dr. Reddy's and

Aurobindo. They are also providing placements, for

which I have attended for the interview and got

selected. Yet I have refrained from joining as the

salary package they provides a meagre amount.

I have attended awareness Session by the Founder

at Nizam College,he grabbed the attention of the

students and spoke about the power of youth and

values,about family, country and life. He motivated

all the students with his Inspirable words.

Sai Latha (MBBS)I am Sai latha, pursuing 3rd year of Medicine. I have performed well in practical examinations. Our third year's

course classes have commenced from 18th of February. The subjects include community medicine (SPM), ENT,

Ophthalmology. Presently I have been posted to SPM department. In this department we are engaged in field

works, going door to door in villages and assessing the health status of pregnant women, children and adults

by collecting their routine diet information, assessing housing and services, knowing whether they are aware

of government incentives, knowing accessibility of PHC's or RHC's or sub-centres services etc., to them. Finally

assessing overall health & to what extent they are maintaining socially and economically productive life in the

community. Generally, people are not welcoming in discussing their health issues with us. So, we need to come

down to ground zero to interact with these villagers in diagnosing their health issues. I have learnt maintaining

such rapport with people from abhaya. The main objective of the program is to reach all the nook and corners of

the country in knowing the status of health of citizens of all age groups. We also create awareness to them by

giving them information regarding the incentives which are provided by government, and how they can make use of such

incentives in protecting themselves. I have learnt all the skills of interaction and teaching the people about hygiene from the

Founder, when I happened to visit Gurukul along with him. That spirit benefited me a lot in imparting children in villages about

nutrition, sanitation, first aid, immunization, personal hygiene, etc., where creating awareness about all these is also a part in our

duty. My fellow mates were all impressed and amazed by the way I was teaching these kids. They all gathered around me and

practiced the same. I am immensely happy to implement my learning which I have attained from abhaya. Later I got a chance to

give a Seminar in our College, I could impress all my faculty with my presentation and confidence. I am planning to study for third

year examinations right from the beginning with the help of my Faculty and seniors. I need to buy some books for this year.

And on the other hand I am helping my sister with her academics and she has recently joined for instrument tuitions to learn to

play the instrumental music. I am very happy to see her progressing in her Life. I must say that abhaya has infused tons of

confidence in my Life and whatever I am today it is all because of love and care of abhaya.

abhaya Women's Day Celebrations

The event organized was amazing and the Founder made us to understand

every drop in the ocean is important by introducing each lady who sat

there in the audience. This sort of events makes women more powerful.

I don't know what others got to say but, I am very happy with the event, as

I have seen my mother happy throughout the event. I could see all the

happiness in her eyes. I could connect to that event personally rather than

connecting as an entrepreneur. Thank you abhaya for everything and for

the event as well.

We used to take Mother to visit Hotels & Temples

along with kids and servants we did like that for

years but suddenly she stopped and we are

missing her and we stopped going out. I used to

take her around every weekend and she used to

enjoy hanging out with us, I am sure she misses it

now. She showed her flowers and shawls to dad

like a kid shows a toy to her father. If can support

her and help her in becoming strong everything

will set on its own. She is the main pillar of GVPR

family. - MV Sunitha Reddy, CEO, GVPR

Engineers Ltd.,

I know the Founder since last

10 months, and I am sure he

taught me enough for life in

the past 5 months of my stay

a t H y d e ra b a d . I a m

privileged to have known a

person like him in my Life.

His company has brought

many great changes in me.

The event was a great event.

It must have given great

inspiration and motivation for all the women who

have attended. I don't know how to express my

gratitude to abhaya and the Founder. I am very

thankful for giving me a chance to speak to the

students at TSSWARO, Ibrahimpatnam. The Founder

almost froze all the students by grabbing their

absolute attention with his powerful voice. He has an

energetic and tickling voice which mesmerizes the

audience everywhere that is what I understood

listening to him during his talks - Mamatha,

Founder Director, Johnson & Johnson Kids

School, Khammam

I felt very happy and enjoyed every minute at the event and also

feeling lucky to part of abhaya Women's Day Celebrations. Thank to

abhaya for celebrating International Women's Day in grand manner

and I felt happy to meet great and inspiring Women, it is sweet and

memorable day in my life. I just remembered my

mother while listening to the speakers about their

life experiences. I thank my dear beloved uncle

Balachandra for giving recognition, respect,

reverence to many abhaya women for their

strength and patience. I have learned from mothers

as to how to lead a happy life like them. - S

Leelavathi, M.Sc., Hyderabad

It was a great sight to see the elderly lady getting

felicitated by abhaya. I have seen many people who have

transformed their lives with the help of abhaya. There

were young girls who exhibited their craft works, there

were old citizens taking shelter. The

story of the lady who is taking care of

abhaya is unbelievable. There are

many people who have attained

tremendous transformation in their

lives. I promise to support abhaya in

future. - S Lakshmi Pooja Lavanya,

abhaya's Sivratri message:Who is Lord Shiva, and where is He to be

found? Many answers are given,

including Kailash as His place of

residence. The true answer is,

'Isavasyam Idam Sarvam'. He is

omnipresent. There is no place, object or

being where God is not present. Let's

correct our outlook and recognize this in

everything around us. When God is

omnipresent, what is the need to go in

search of Him? The search is

meaningless. If one serves fellow beings

(as HE Saved many by consuming

halahala) getting rid of attachment and

hatred, one will experience the Divinity

inherent within. This is the sadhana one

has to do today - to love all and serve all!
