Feedback:
The organization is running for 25 years, the person who is running this organization Mrs. Rani who had also spent her life in hostel. So this inspired her start an organization for orphan children. She had gained lot of learning experience through out 25 years in running this organization. She has seen the various development in each child from childhood to adulthood and also managing the situation to run the organization. The children have the feel of the family. The organization is serving lot of children by providing good education which makes bright future.
M.Sathya Priya
The organization has a pleasant atmosphere for the children which makes them to feel as they are with the family because of people surrounding and the campus. The children are given first preference about their choices in educational line, what they want to do as higher studies after completing XII. If any child is not interested in studies, looking for other alternatives like cooking , teaching beautician course for girls. So, children are comfortable and there is no feeling that they are orphan.
