LEGAL HELP FOR KALIYUVA MANE : On 23rd March 2014, One day workshop on child rights was organized at University Senate hall by Karnataka State Legal Services Authority, District Legal Services Authority, District Administration, Department of Women and Child Welfare, Police Department, Education Department and Bar Association.
Ananth Kumar and Kavitha of Kaliyuva Mane participated in the workshop. After the inauguration, Dr. Venkateshan, clinical psychiatrist, All India Institute of Speech and Hearing presented a paper and spoke on child education. He also emphasized the need for alternative and child friendly inclusive education system. Dr. Venkateshan has issued IQ and academic assessment certificates to many children of Kaliyuva Mane. He admired the work of Kaliyuva Mane. Ananth Kumar briefly explained the working philosophy of Kaliyuva Mane; ‘school for CHILDREN’ rather than ‘children for SCHOOL’. A twelve year old child with academic level of 2nd standard may be a misfit in main stream schools, but the child finds space at Kaliyuva Mane. He urged that the Government should recognize such child friendly innovative practices. Because Kaliyuva Mane lacks recognition as a school from the education department, it is paying 40 times more tax, for its bus ferrying children free of cost. [than a conventional recognized school]

Mudgal, Principal District and Sessions Judge and chairperson-District Legal Services Authority, Mysore stood up and advised us to give a representation to her, so that she could take it forward.

We are confident, that with the help of God’s Grace and your support we will be able to continue our work of empowering rural opportunity deprived children. You are always welcome to Kaliyuva Mane.
