Pune, Maharashtra, India, Republic of (Free-Press-Release.com) July 29, 2011 --
Many times, lesser fortunate people like Paradhis and other nomadic tribes who have been branded for life as thieves and dacoits, in spite of their sterling contribution to our society, throughout history, with their artisan and fighting skills, are subject to hardships and disrespect in life. To save them from these atrocities, Bhatke Vimukta Vikas Pratishthan (BVVP) has plunged into an uphill task of giving them a decent and respectful life. Know more about the contribution of the BVVP and the Yamgarwadi Project only on Garja Maharashtra, Saturday, 30th July 2011 at 8:30 pm on IBN-Lokmat.
Yamgarwadi is a small village located in Osmanabad district of Maharashtra. Yamgarwadi Project was started in 1993 on an 18 acre land donated by an ex-service man, Shri Ramesh Chatufale. Initially there were 25 boys who volunteered to work for the underprivileged but now the project has grown into a multifaceted one. The BVVP started primary schools, secondary schools, girls’ hostel etc for the upliftment and education of the nomadic tribes. Nomadic gypsy communities are always on the move and so their children are not vaccinated, resulting in high incidence of minor or even crippling diseases. For this reason the Yamgarwadi Project also started a health center where some socially committed pediatricians, gynecologists and pathologists visit the sites regularly to inspect the health of the students. They also provide medicines and related services.
BVVP has recently purchased 20 acres of land where they plan to set up a school up to SSC level offering job-oriented courses. The school will have a hostel, playground, full-fledged kitchen, residential accommodation for teaching as well as non-teaching staff and house green projects like water harvesting, etc.
