Study Finds Need for Effective CSR MechanismA national level exploratory study conducted by the Centre for

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at the Institute of Public

Enterprise (IPE) has stressed the need for an effective mechanism to

infuse life into CSR programs.

As corporates today have realized the importance of CSR and are

coming up with various initiatives, the IPE conducted the study to

understand the scope of CSR as a tool for social inclusiveness. The

research was aimed at studying existing CSR

practices and also reflect on the role of various

stakeholders in its effective implementation.

An impact assessment study was also

conducted to understand the effectiveness of

CSR. The study was conducted in the

backward districts of four states, Telangana,

Odisha, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, and

covered 1846 households.

focused on cleaning, sweeping, removing litter and not managing or

disposing waste in a sustainable manner,” says M. Chidambaram,

But the soon-to-be notified Solid Waste Management Rules, 2015,

give some hope to Chintan's Chaturvedi. “The provision for creating

material recovery facilities, decentralized composting, improving the

working conditions of waste pickers with gloves, health checkups,

medical claim, bio-methanation, etc., all require capital cost. And this

capital cost can easily be provided for through CSR funds. Large or

small companies can now tie up with the existing informal sector to

help put in place processes for waste management,” she says.

It was with a disappointment I reached abhaya

with reference of Srinivasa Rao as 10 Days

back. I am not very much confident about my

journey as I didn't get the sponsorship

required. When I met abhaya I got confidence

that I could achieve my dream. Before I used

to think what next after the summit, but after

today's event I got vison that I can bring some

positive change in the society.

My mother was overwhelmed with the Press

Meet at Country Club Hyd and response I

received today. My friends are really happy for

me. For me personally...It was amazing

experience and first time speaking to almost

every media friend and I felt extremely happy

the way abhaya introduced me to the

gathering.

I heartily thank each and every sponsor:

Mythri Movie Makers, Oxygem, Sriram Properties, GVPR Group, Omini Hospitals and everyone who supported me. All your wishes

and blessings alone helps me to complete my journey successfully. While offering tributes to Late Masthanaiah and prayers to God

Almighty... I am proceeding to Khatmandu tomorrow. Seek your blessings as they alone will now lead my way. I know how abhaya

members taken loan for my journey. Wish more corporates will help me and abhaya- Bharath for Bhaarath

Mission Vijay CSCMy dear friend, Vijay Varatharajan has been admitted in ICU of MIOT

hospital, Chennai following a car accident. His sister is also admitted

in the same hospital with shoulder and neck injuries & undergoing

treatment and his mother survived with minor injuries. Accident took

place near Sankarapuram (Viluppuram district) between 7.30 to

8.00 AM on 6th April, 2015(Monday). At present, he is on life support

& condition is very critical as his brain suffered partial damage.

Doctors estimated the treatment cost would reach 12(+) lakhs

including surgery cost of 3 lakhs. This may shoot up based on his stay

in ICU. He is working in CSC(MNC corporation) and the lone bread

winner of his family and family couldn't afford huge amount. His

company insurance will cover only upto 3 lakhs. Please keep him and

his family in your prayers and kindly contribute for his medical

expenses through your organization.

Update: Vijay is discharged on 23rd April. Our prayers with him. Mother and sister Vishnupriya

too are already home and doing fine. Thanks to all of you who had faith and supported. Abhaya

salute all those who stood by the Cause. Thangadurai (China) along with abhayan Naga

Bhushan (Blore) with the support of their friends and relatives lead the cause from the front.

abhaya could succesfully pool close to Rs.1.75 lakhs in the span of 10 days. Many abhayans and

First cycle chemo therapy completed Now we are at Vivekananda Yoga University, Jigani,

Bengaluru for getting her physical strength we came here. Here Subramanyam PRO Chancellor of

University suggested that go for Ayurveda. Till now, little support i received from my friends. She

was in Hospital for 34 days and she was discharged on April 10th. Total bill was Rs. 685000/- , but I

had only Rs. 300000/- from my friends and well wishers. Remaining amount I took a loan. Actually

I am only single person to attend to all things. That is why I am unable to go with guidelines

provided by abhaya. On 26th day she got fits and fear about life. Since then I am with her taking

care of her for every minute. Some patients told that the BMT cost will be up to Rs.50 lakhs as per

their experience. There was no one to stand by our side... Normally if there is no complication the

cost may be around 25 lakhs. If any complications occur, then the cost goes up. Actually doctor

informed us that each cycle of chemo therapy cost is one lakh. But on first cycle they charged Rs.

685000/-. I have one friend in Anantapur, who supported me and followed up till now. I will

connect him to abhaya, if possible please tell him all the things. - Visweswara Reddy, Teacher,

you are aware that Teena has to go for follow up check ups and

treatment for a period of 2 years now. So, her parents visited the

cancer hospital in Gujarat for monthly checkup with all the medical

reports / files given by NTR Cancer Hospital, Hyderabad, whereas

the Doctors of there, told them that they will not be able to take

decision based on old reports and advised them to go for fresh

checkups like biopsy etc again which is a burden to the girl as well as

her parents. So her parents finally decided to bring her to

Hyderabad and they came to Hyderabad 10 days back and reports

gave result that the platelet count is 26000 which is very low. Doctor

had asked them visit this week by prescribing some medicines. So

they are in Hyderabad for the checkup. I want to thank the Founder

of abhaya Foundation, personally for asking them to stay at his

home whenever they come for monthly checkup. That gave them a

huge boost and they are very happy that someone is always there to

always help them. Thanks a lot on behalf of Teena's parents.

Govindarajan (B.Tech)I had completed my project review successfully on 9/04/15

and my semester exam will start at 22-April. Due to Project

I couldn't concentrate on other things. I haven't

participated in any social activity in last month because of

project review. I had deposited Rs.500/- for Abhaya

Mission 500 for the month of March. With the support of

Abhaya finally I get placed in Virtusa an IT company. After

my exams completion, I planned to work in any B.P.O. till I

join Virtusa. I intend to prepare well on my semester

exams and complete my Project with highest grade.

I'm practicing English in-front of Mirror. I'm reading GRE

vocabularies and try to use those words in practice and also

knowing some business words. With the motivation and

guidance by Abhaya I got placed in Virtusa in Off-campus interview competed with

680 students. And I'm planning to host a Social Networking site which must be

useful for youth. I got call letter for Navy SSB interview . Its been scheduled at May

2nd. It was 5 day interview from 2-6 and I have one of my semester exam onMay-

5. I don't know what to do now. I attached my Navy call letter along with this mail.

Need your guidance. All these had happened only coz of Abhaya. It transformed

me from nowhere to somewhere. I'll prove myself and make Abhaya feel proud for

everything it done to me.

A r i f u d d i n

(B.Ed)I am performing

well in my B.Ed

course with your

blessings. This

time I have to pay

my remaining fee.

My total fee for

B.Ed course is

19,900. I paid

6,400 with your

kind help. The

amount which you

gave in last month

were spent on my micro teaching course for 2

months. Now I have to pay 13,500 as the State

Government's Fee reimbursement is not yet

release and 2,000 for exam fee. If I get

scholarship, I will give it back to foundation. I

am facing lot of issues as my parents' health is

not fine. I thank abhaya for standing beside

me in this situation.

Sireesha (Agri B.Sc)I am Sireesha Ponneri D/o Jagannadaih from Chittoor Dist. Sir, I am doing my B.Sc

Agriculture course here at Hyderabad and need to pay my Fee. I called you for my education

support. I got some help from Helping Hands and got you help for remaining amount. I thank

you heartfully for responding to my Request. No one responded to me in such a short period. I

have consulted many people but they did not give any response. You have taken your time to

guide me in the right path and complete my education successfully. I am feeling so happy

because ABHAYA is with me now for my Education.

Sailatha (M.B.B.S)On 8th march I unexpectedly participated in

the holy event of scholarship distribution to

the students by Meda charitable trust. Where

our beloved founder was the speaker to that

celestial moment. I have noted some new

points from his oration which are so

impressive and uplifting the thoughts of every

student. About 5 'P's (Planning, Preparation,

Practice, Performance, Presentation) which

are very essential for every student in order to

excel in the exams. He made some thought

provoking phrases by taking the five trustee

names of that charitable trust. Thus he dragged attention of every

one. Really I felt so much blessed and privileged to be with founder.

The unconditional love and support from founder was astounding.

One more session I attended on 20th at rudest institute which is a

vocational training centre. He highlighted 5 'A's (Answering,

Accessibility, Approach, Awareness, Adjusting) which are very

essential for the people who are getting trained over there. The

spontaneous stories regarding importance of service to life were

incredible. Thus everything he told was comprehensive.

Coming to my exams, they got completed on 20th. But I did not

perform well to the expected level. I was so much depressed with my

performance .I realized the mistakes that I have done. I assure that

I will not repeat those blunders and also I will try to not let any new

mistakes in my next exams.

After exams again routine time table continued & I have been posted

to Gynaec & OBS .This time not only going for OP's, wards etc., for

the first time went to labor ward. It was an awesome experience.

The environment in the room will be horrible. Different complicated

cases we will be coming across like, labor in a critical situations like

oligohydroamnios, pregnancy induced hypertension cases, twins.

Where in these situations delivery is little bit difficult. Lots of

hemorrhage will be there, where one needs so much courage even

to see all these. However hats off to all Mothers. It is really a

fantastic unexpressible experience. Apart from these I have

attended weekly medical camps, balavikas classes and started

taking care of sister in her studies.

Leelavathi (M.Sc)I am S Leelavathi from Anantapur. My

family and I are doing fine with blessings

of Swamy. I hope all abayans and well-

wishers are fine. About my studies, I had

completed 4th semester syllabus and

wrote 1st internal exam in nice way with

good representation. 2nd internals will

start from tomorrow onwards and my final

practical examination will start from 16th

of this month. That's why I am spending

my time for record work and also revision

of experiments in labs with help of

research scholars and they are clarifying my doubts. My final exam

will start from 29th of this month and ends by 4th May

I am preparing my subject in CSIR pattern and this is very valuable

time for me. That's why am using all the available facilities like S

VCentral and Department libraries and hostel library for my

preparation. When I have doubts, clarifying those with my

professors. Yesterday LNG chemical sciences coaching center

came to S V University and they are conducting one exam in CSIR

Model. The top 3 rank students in this exam will get a free coaching

with accommodation. I am attending this exam and results will be

intimated through email.

Chemistry plays an important role in day to day life. There are

chemical reaction in the way you breathe, the food you eat, the

water you drink in every motion which is taking place around. Our

entire universe is made up of matter which is constantly changing

and evolving into other forms of energy. Biology, Physics and

Mathematics also depends upon Chemistry. In our kitchen onions

make us cry due to the presence of Sulphur in the cells which break

after the onions are cut, this Sulphur gets mixed with moisture and

thus irritate eyes. You feel hungry because of the satiety center in

your brain falls short of particular hormones to function and then

send the signal of hunger. All these I learned out of interest on my

subject. We celebrated Ugadi at Puttaparthy very happily and took

Swamy blessings and met Balacahandra uncle. I felt very happy

and thanking abhaya for giving such wonderful opportunity to

share my feelings.

Nagaraju (B.Tech)

Update:

Sri.Ramalingeswararao of Walkers Club, Baghlingampally, Hyderabad, has referred

Nagaraju seeking support for his education from abhaya. Nagaraju, aged 19 years, has

just got admission in II year B.Tech, IT Branch, in Vasavi Engg. College, Hyderabad. Since

he has done Diploma and secured 71% in ECET, he got admission in II year directly. He

belongs to BC-D and is a BPL candidate. His father who was selling fruits in his village

Kusnoor-Zaheerabad, died in 2003, and he has 2 sisters, elder one got married and the

younger one studying 10th class, living with his mother in their village. He lives with his

uncle in Addagutta, Hyderabad, who has been providing him food, clothing etc.,

After his father's death, his mother is working as a agriculture laborer and earning around

Rs 4000-5000 a month, with which both she and her daughter are maintaining livelihood.

They have an acre of land, which is pledged with SBH for her daughter's marriage and it

seems the Bank is likely to waive the same in the recent Govt's scheme of waiver to poor

people. This needs to be done still.

He also works as a volunteer, as and when conducted, in the Medical Camps conducted by

Sri Satya Sai Organisation and assisting the Doctors in such camps. He has passed 'C'

certificate exam in NCC. Now the annual fee comes to Rs. 1,18,000/- and Rs. 35,000/- is

compensated by the Govt under BPL student category. Balance Rs.83,000/- is needed.

I advised him to contact his village revenue officials with his elders and plead for financial

help from the local MLA quota. He can also meet the Principal of Vasavi College with the

help of our abhaya student volunteers in that college (if any) for seeking further

reduction in fees. I also suggested him to try to earn some amount by doing some part

time job.

After talking to him, I feel his case seems to be genuine, referred by a known person like

Ramalingeswararao, and we may think of extending financial help, subject to the

foundation getting satisfied about his case. – EJP Prasad, Coordinator, abhaya RPL

I Spoke to him and he seems genuine. His aim is to get into defense forces with his NCC

credentials. For that he should have continuous education without any GAP, so he is

planning to join this course, as this will also help him to get an IT job if he dont get his

dream. He tried for B.Sc in NIZAM college and could not get a seat as the BAR is high (94-

96% is the cut off for OBC and he got 71%). If he get a part time job, the need will come

down to 70K. I feel, if someone can stand by him, we can also support half the amount.

Discussed the same with Ramalingeswararao garu and he told that he will look for other

supporters as well. – Siva Krishna, Secretary, abhaya Foundation

started a small training center at home with very limited people, witnessing the trail

runs in the initial periods, we thought of setting up a abhaya Vocational Training

Center at our home, so that we will get support and guidance and can increase the

scope of the activities particularly for women in days to come. Hence kindly provide

support and guidance to create a small difference to those in need of such training to

reprogram their lives. As per the values of abhaya, the services are offered purely on

social cause and absolutely free of cost. - K Ranga Rao, Hyderabad

As initiated by us during the Hunt the Winter Project in the month of December

2014, we abhayans from Boyenpally are ready to set up Solar Kitchen Facility at

Suvidha Ashram, which is part of Kasturba Gandhi National Memorial Trust, (The

only trust started by Mahtama Gandhi) , There are about 50 MR Kids at the Ashram

who are abandoned , they are really taking care , but they have real funds crunch

and requested us to help them in setting up a Solar kitchen so that their most of the

monthly expenditure will come dwon.

As we are not getting expected subsidy or support for our planned Solar

Lighting/Cooking facilities at Suvidha Ashram from the Govt, we would like to go

ahead with the project without further waiting and conveyed the message to the Co-

ordinator of Suvidha Ashram Kasi V Rao . He suggested that he has come across a

vendor to set up a Solar Cooking facility as they are in the first instance keen for Solar Kitchen facility. The same is suitable and

within our budget. The Vendor has visited the site couple of day back and will be sending the quotation in the next week. Based on

the quotation we will be executing the project. We request abhaya Team to please visit our family so that the pooled funds to the

tune of Rs.1.00 Lakh can be handed over enabling abhaya to meet the immediate requirement by next week towards project. We

request abhaya to fill the gap if in case there is a shortfall in executing the project. I request kindly spare some time in the next as

there will be meeting with Vendor and Suvidha Co-ordinator.- K Ranga Rao & Brothers, Hyderabad

We were very happy to meet you at abhaya to give our

pool collected in Mission Re.1/- taking inspiration from

your talk at our hostel. Though, what we did is very

insignificant thing... you made us to feel big about our

gesture and asked us to record our feelings.

What I am thinking is not being communicated in English

with the people around me. I am unable to share my ideas

exactly with others and this shows that I cant speak to

people. The very first thing is to improve myself to

communicate with the society and to think of myself before thinking of the society... for doing

more good. This is the feeling of all of us who visited abhaya.

What I feel is..we dont realize until we ourselves experience the problems...my sister always

tells me that 'you need to improve' today i understood what to improve. A very big thanks to

you sir..as you made me to know what is going on with me. We thought we are doing a favour

to abhaya... but we realized that there is favour abhaya has done for our life. - Srikar, II

Gone through the latest News Update, March 2015. Year after year,

abhayafoundation has been making steady progress in all it's H.E.A.R.T

activities, in spite of many hardships. Besides, it has been effectively

propagating the C.S.R concept in the Corporates, in recent months. With the

beginning of a new Financial Year, starting from today, let us hope and pray

that more support would be available, more kind hearted humans join hands

with abhaya, more volunteers make sincere efforts to take forward it's

MISSION and VISION.

As we are well aware, in our present society, many are looking to NGOs, Institutions and Individuals for

BASIC NEEDS and unless the "Haves" in the Society, and the Government, work together, it will not be

possible to face this huge Social Responsibility. March ahead in that direction, and with confidence

"abhaya", you will surely succeed. GOD be with you!! – EJP Prasad, Coordinator, abhaya RPL

I am extremely sorry for unable to

make the transfer since march. I will

do it in 24 hours. I got a sponsor who

want to sponsor for a girl child. Do we

have any nice cute girl who is looking

for help? They asked a girl who is

looking for help and who educates

well. They want to sponsor for her till

she completed education and settle in

her life. Pleases respond to me as soon

as you can. Thanks -B Praveen, USA

Dear Uncle, I read in your news letter that your

health isn't well. What happened? I'm sure

Swami will give you more and more strength to

continue the blessed work you are doing.

Please take care of your health uncle, the world

needs good people like you. And I'm sure

swami always protects his pure instruments

like you. I recently transferred some amount to

abhaya account. Hope it was received. I will

look up for the remittance details and forward

to you.- Love, S Jahnavi Deepak, UK
