Gender
Equality: A Step Toward a Healthy Society: Vimukti pothnal
Vimukti
Pothnal organized a two-day Leadership and Self-Protection Workshop for
Adolescent Girls to empower young girls with knowledge, confidence, and
leadership skills. In her welcome address, Ms. Jayashree Dotharbandi,
Coordinator of Vimukti Pothnal, explained that the program aims to educate girls
aged 12–18 on leadership and self-protection, encouraging them to express their
views freely in a safe and supportive environment. Mr. Sudarshan, ChildLine
coordinator Raichur, spoke about child rights, Childline 1098, and the POCSO
Act, helping participants understand laws that safeguard children from abuse.
Mr. Venkanagouda Vatagal, retired teacher and thinker, inspired the girls
through poems and interactive activities on leadership and responsible use of
social media, motivating them to use their voices positively. Mrs. Channabasamma,
lecturer at Government PU College, Gonwar, delivered an engaging session on
gender equality, encouraging girls to break barriers, pursue higher education,
and become leaders in society. In his presidential address, Rev. Fr. Sathish
Fernandes, Director of Vimukti and CWC Member, emphasized that a healthy society
can only emerge when gender discrimination ends and women are empowered to lead
with equality and dignity. The event, attended by Vimukti staff and around 200
adolescent girls, was coordinated by Mrs. Jecintha Muddanagudi, who welcomed and
thanked everyone. The workshop concluded with renewed enthusiasm and
determination among the participants — a strong step toward creating a just and
gender-equal society.
A
training session on Child Rights was conducted with the active participation of
150 children from our tuition centers. The program aimed to create awareness
among children about their fundamental rights and responsibilities, empowering
them to recognize their dignity and potential. During the sessions, children
were introduced to the four core rights under the UN Convention on the Rights of
the Child (CRC):
“Education
is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson
Mandela With limited resources but unlimited enthusiasm, children from the
villages gather eagerly to learn under the open sky. Their dedication to
education proves that true learning does not depend on classrooms, but on
determination and the will to grow. Vimukti continues to nurture these young
minds, paving the way for a brighter future.
The
Vimukti Child Resource Centers (CRCs) have become vital community-based
platforms in our villages, offering children safe, supportive, and stimulating
spaces after school hours. These village-level CRCs create an environment where
learning is joyful and accessible, ensuring that no child is left behind due to
economic or social barriers. At each center, children gather weekly to engage in
age-appropriate activities that strengthen reading, writing, numeracy, and
problem-solving skills. They enjoy access to storybooks, learning materials,
sports equipment, and creative tools that sharpen both their academic and life
skills. Alongside academic growth, the centers emphasize teamwork, leadership,
and confidence-building through group activities and child-friendly discussions.
Importantly, these centers are deeply rooted in the rural communities they
serve. They link children and families with educational resources, health
awareness, and opportunities that encourage overall well-being. Parents and
community members are also involved, making the CRCs not just learning spaces
but shared hubs of development. Today, nearly 550 children from multiple
villages actively participate in these Child Resource Centers. The initiative
has brought visible change—children are performing better in schools, showing
improved discipline and confidence, and developing a stronger sense of
responsibility towards their peers and community.
The
“Brighter Minds, Stronger Futures” programme supports slow learners in 15
villages of Manvi Taluka, Raichur District, by providing personalized academic
guidance and value-based education. In these rural communities, many children
face learning gaps due to inadequate school instruction and limited resources,
which affect both their academic performance and personal growth. To bridge this
gap, Vimukti has established evening tuition centres offering focused learning
support, foundational skill-building, and confidence development. Nearly 655
children are currently benefiting, with visible improvements in grades,
participation, and self-esteem. This initiative is not just about better marks —
it’s about empowering children to dream big, learn with confidence, and build a
stronger future for themselves and their communities.
The
Vimukti Child Resource Centers (CRCs) serve as vibrant child-support hubs within
marginalized communities, offering safe, engaging, and educational spaces for
children beyond regular school hours. These centers provide alternative learning
experiences designed to nurture creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking
among children from our targeted villages. Each CRC offers an age-appropriate
learning platform where children are encouraged to participate weekly. They have
access to a variety of play materials, library books, and writing tools that
enhance their reading, writing, general knowledge, and motor skills through
games and sports. The centers not only help improve academic performance but
also foster social interaction and personal development. Furthermore, CRCs act
as bridges to wider community resources by offering valuable information,
learning opportunities, and materials that empower children and support their
families. They are instrumental in building a culture of learning and shared
growth. Currently, nearly 350 children are actively benefiting from the programs
conducted through these Child Resource Centers.
