Assam Sishu Kalyan Sadan Details
At present there are 37 children in the Sadan under the care of the Resident lady Sperintendent closely supported by the President, the Secretary, two Vice-Presidents and the Treasurer along with the members of the Executive Committee. As for the caretaking staff, there is a House Mother and five other elderly ladies residing with the children. The Sadan is like a home to the caretaking staff and the elder matrons, who look after the children in missionary zeal, live there until the last days of their lives. Growing up in the calm, serene and homely environment in the Sadan campus, being surrounded by neighbours who are concerned and caring; helps the children in re-integrating with the society without much difficulty when they reach adulthood and become capable of supporting themselves.For up keeping and maintenance, the Sadan depends upon voluntary contributions from the public, organizations and institutions in cash or in kind. However, a portion of its fund comes from its own resources such as the member's contributions, sale of milk from the in-house dairy, handloom products, vermi-compost manure, fruits and vegetables, sale of greeting cards, etc. besides the proceeds of interest of ASKS Trust Fund and fixed deposits.The children are assigned to take part in running the Sadan as a household and they are given specific duties in turns to assist the matrons and caretakers in task like cooking food and preparing snacks. Besides studies, they also take part in literary activities, music and art classes, hands-on computer training, gardening, cleaning the compound, co-curricular activities such as yoga and prayer sessions, playing in the afternoons, and other recreational activities. We give equal importance to the children's physical and mental growth and intellectual development.
