Compassionate Giving
Did you know that India not only has the world's largest number of children but also the world's largest number of children who are unable to access education? With a mission to make a difference to this alarming situation, the Ramee Group ably led by the CMW Mr. Raj Shetty, has taken charge to right the situation.
A small village, Kalavara, in Kundapur District, Karnataka, has been the immediate benefit of Mr. Shetty's largesse.
Mr. Raj Shetty, who was born in Kalavara, has taken the necessary steps to sponsor bright and deserving children from underprivileged families. Mr. Shetty's mother, Ms. Gulabi M. Shetty, who incidentally still stays in Kalavara, spurred him to explore his charitable side.
The Ramee Group is today rendering educational support with the help of the local representative, Mr. J. P. Shetty. The group has already disbursed almost a lakh of rupees towards this cause.
Today, Kalavara boasts of a well constructed school with computer facilities. Here, educational training along with necessary educational materials, entertainment programs, uniforms and medical support is provided. The proper environment for education is maintained at all times Subjects like Basic Mathematics, Languages, Social Science, General Knowledge and training in Crafts are taught. Physical Exercises aimed at the general well being are also provided.
Every three months, each child is counseled by trained experts to further their all round growth. Once a year, the families of the children are invited for a get together. The educational support is alsobeing extended to the outskirts of Kalavara in phases.
Says Mr. Raj Shetty, “The everyday choices we make as citizens and corporates determine the future of our country. We hope that what we do at a micro level will translate itself in a mega manner.” The only condition is that the grateful beneficiaries will take the cause forward by contributing their mite for the education of children in the future. A truly laudable sentiment, that.
