As the Founder and an ardent social worker and social activist i assumed to take my role as a lead facilitator and negotiator or the rights of orphan and vulnerable children and facilitated several massive drives of rehabilitation to such destitute children all along my way through the ladder of social activism which has enabled the distinction of having been the child rights activist that has ultimately took me to organize the home as an initiative of the AKSHARA society. All along engagement as the Founder has been very articulated in making the notion of child protection a synonymous passion for replication and staggered notion among the civil society structures and being an Advocate i had evinced keen interest in organizing the legal negotiations and as a member of DLSA i overwhelmed the matters of child and orphan rights, a matter of significance.

ARADHANA CHILDREN HOME

“There is lot more to spare towards orphan children than just living for ourselves.“
At a very tiny age I felt empty inside, even though obtained everything I was sure there had to be more to life, but I didn’t have a substantial trace of what that was, but i am sure I had a bigger purpose that I wasn’t fulfilling. There were many more without parents, help and demanding what we could extend to them and from there born the idea for Aradhana home caters to the orphan and neglected with education, care and love negotiating with Donors and sponsors of all ages, from all walks of life, and from all socio-economic backgrounds to join in this journey over the years.

As the founder secretary I had to see a hundred cute, hungry, parentless neglected children all along and I had seen them craving for love, attention and sometimes even more gullible wanting for a hug a kind touch which was touchy as they were children to be put to considerations of merciful brethren and noticed that every single one was precious and perfect, desperately in need of love, attention and to care. However, above all the heart pulse, the Aradhana home is planting scientific ways of counseling administration, value addition and showcasing of impact.

The overview of Aradhana Children Home is "Support for orphan children with the Goal to improve the education and overall well being of such offspring's so in deprivation, comprehensive child centered care and shelter". Therefore the core services are Psycho-social supporter, Shelter, Nutrition and Education with a focus on community centered mechanism and societal motivation through instilling urge for orphan children well-being.

AKSHARA has a prime goal of providing education and rehabilitation for orphan, semi-orphan, disabled, HIV affected & abandoned and children of convicted criminals through services, value education and relief. Began as a care centre, Akshara pioneered ARADHANA CHILDREN HOME with rise in the numbers at Narava, a place 15-20 Km from Visakhapatnam City and 5Km from Gopalapatnam to be a center of care, residence and education. Here in the Aradhana Children's Home, emphasis is on value based English medium education in Akshaya E.M School and spaces to articulate their many talents through extra - curricular activities such as traditional dance, vocal & non- vocal music, yoga etc much more than feed, treats, and educate.
