KRUSHI PROJECT :

  KRUSHI HOME is a place for children in difficult circumstances, who are housed, educated and integrated with the main stream of the society (At Krushi, usage of the term "Street Children" is consciously avoided). Every effort is made to counsel and restore the children to their parents/relatives. Those children who cannot be restored to their parents / relatives, for various reasons, are retained in Krushi Home and educated, with the ultimate objective of making them self sufficient and responsible citizens. The effort has been fairly successful with almost all the boys in schools / colleges or undergoing vocational training etc.Presently accommodating 80 children and 20 staff members to take care of the children. The Krushi home is located on an area of 2.3 acre land at Gowdavally village, near Medchal Mandal of Ranga Reddy District in Andhra Pradesh
 

• Some Street children, specially the older ones, find the regulated life in a home like Krushi hard to handle. In spite of adequate counseling and motivation, quite a few of them go back to their old ways. 

• Even some of the long staying children do sometimes disappear for short periods only to come back and lead normal life.

 KRUSHI HOME is constructed on the bases of go green in order to save the resources. It consists of five star rated electric equipments in order to increase the efficiency and to reduce the cost burden of electricity consumption.
