It is eight years since the Right to Information Act came into being for the citizens. I repeat, for the citizens, becau..

Man is helpless in front of the nature’s fury. However, the
ability to recover every time from the extreme situations
distinguishes a human being from other animals. It is therefore
said that being human is more important than a human being. Jashoda
Sadan has stood true to this fact by rehabilitating children hit by
the devastating cyclone of 2009 that destroyed a number of lives in
Orissa. Located in the city of Cuttack, Jashoda Sadan has a three
storied building equipped with modern facilities that houses 65
cyclone-hit children who earlier were left helpless to starve under
a pitiless sky, without a roof over their heads and scanty clothes
to cover their bodies.
Emphasis is laid on physical, emotional and spiritual development
of children. All the children attend the public schools nearby. Two
study sessions are held daily, each lasting for two hours, in which
the full time teachers appointed by the institution help children
with their school work. There are also volunteers who work with the
children regularly. The children are provided with textbooks,
notebooks and all other necessary items required at school. Monthly
practice tests are held in the institution to prepare the children.
Extra coaching sessions are held during finals. Satsang in Jashoda
Sadan is the time to regroup at the end of the day. After the
evening prayer session, children hear about cultural, moral and
spiritual lessons through stories and fables.

The hardships of life have brought these children closer to
together and they have formed a unique bond with each other. They
have become a part of the big Jashoda Family.
Extra curricular activities: Children are
encouraged to take initiative in creative activities like art,
music and dance. Education is required for the development of mind
and physical activities like yoga and sports are important for the
body, but art feeds the soul. It helps express the feelings of the
heart.
Annual study tours and picnics are arranged twice a year so that
the children can visit different places in Orissa. The study tours
give them opportunity to get acquainted with the history and
