Training
on Carrier Guidance to Youths: Vimukti Pothnal
Vimukti
Charitable Trust® Pothnal organized training on carrier guidance to youths of
the project area, on 15th February 2021, at Vimukti premises. The base line of
the workshop was to help prospective generation to understand their hidden
talent in an advanced way. Youths are not useless but they are used less. They
are the future leaders and rulers of our nation. There are many ways to spoil
their skills and talents in this world. Media plays vital role in the part of
exploiting youth of today. We have the responsibility to channelize them with
proper way. The resource person Mr. Saver KDDC Karwar motivated the youth to
achieve their goals by facing the challenges bravely. Along with that the
practical tips and examples were given to the youths about entrepreneurship,
appearing for the competitive exams, lucrative courses, and the skills for
facing the interviews. Nearly 101 youths attended and benefitted from this
training.
Vimukti
Charitable Trust® Pothnal organized Campaign on Mother and child protection.
Mrs. Jecenitha and Mr. Charlie was the resource person, who also briefed on how
to continue this campaign in near future. Campaign Meetings are held in various
villages of our working area. The target groups are pregnant women and children
of six months to the age of three years were enquired whether they get the
nutritious food at the Anganvadi centres. It was brought to the notice at the
meeting that the food allotted to the pregnant and the children were not up to
the mark though they are given every month. The quality and the quantity always
have been manipulated by the centres. Survey was done at the 14 villages of the
number of pregnant women and the children below the age of 6 years. In 31
Anganvadi centres the list of food allotted by the government to the pregnant
women and the children were displayed on the charts. It was insisted that this
practice of displaying must be compulsory. From time to time the people must be
made aware of the benefits by the centres. 
On
18th, 21st and 30th January, 2021 an awareness programs were organized on combat
human trafficking, as well violence against women and children. We are appalled
to read in the media, almost every other day, the horrific incidents that take
place against women and children in various parts of our country. Violence
against women goes largely unpunished. This is shown by the reports published
and research conducted by the united nations, international human rights
agencies and the global women’s and feminist movements which have been
denouncing this situation for decades. It takes many forms, from domestic abuse
to rape, sexual abuse and harmful cultural practices ranging from genital
mutilation and honor crimes to premature marriage. Keeping all this problems VCT
has been giving awareness programs in the schools, women, men and youth in the
villages of Manvi taluka. 150 children, youth women and men benefited from this
program.
Vimukti
Charitable Trust®, Pothnal, organized Special Children’s Grama Sabha at
Utakanoor Grama Panchayat, on 29th of January 2021. “Every Grama Panchayat
should become increasingly child-friendly by identifying and redressing the
issues faced by children”, said Charlie Gram panchyath member, Utakanoor, in his
inaugural address. Arogyappa Vimukti youth coordinator, Manvi said that everyone
should join hands to ensure the protection and promotion of child rights and the
safety of children by accessing appropriate authorities and existing safety
mechanisms. Manthesh Secretary, Malesh water man, Adhya teacher utaknoor primary
school and Vimukti staff, spoke on the occasion. ICDS staff, district health
officers, project staff, school teachers and over hundred and fifty children
participated in the programme..JPG)
Books
soothe us, help us get through a rough patch and open our eyes to better
understand the world. Therefore, it is essential to surround children with books
to ensure that they become educated and not just literate. It was these thoughts
that motivated Fr. Sathish Fernandes to set up a library in the Vimukti center
Pothnal. During the covid- induced lockdown, when many public libraries suffered
setbacks and even closures, Vimukti saw it as an opportunity to encourage
children to develop a reading habit. Vimukti centre has set up modest library
with chairs and tables ensured that all the safety measures were in place at the
library. The library currently has books on science, general knowledge, child
rights, as well as story book for children. There are biographies and books on
great Indian leaders like Ambedkar, Abdul kalam, M.Gandihji, savitribai Phule,
Bhagat singh and others inspiring children are placed. .JPG)
Hampamma,is
from Malkapura village in Raichur district. She completed her Pre-University
course and got married when she was 19 years old to her beau in the village.
Both she and her husband moved to Bangalore in search of employment. She found a
job in a garment factory where she was paid Rs.7, 000 per month and her husband
started working as a car driver. She became pregnant and when she could no
longer bear the strain of commuting and working in a factory, she quit her job
and returned to her village and soon delivered a healthy baby girl. Three months
after her baby, Deepika was born, her husband cut-off all contacts with her and
has never visited their baby or even called her over the phone. She has been
staying with her mother-in-law who is 55 years old and works seasonally as a
coolie. With no steady income and her husband having deserted her, she was upset
and discouraged not knowing what her future will be.
Vimukti
Charitable Trust® group along with the members organized the "joy of giving"

is doing a little something extra for someone. Christmas is for joy, for giving
and sharing, for laughter, for coming together with family and friends, and
brightly decorated packages. Vimukti charitable trust group members has

time of pandemic crisis by sharing food items like sugar, Tea powder, salt,
Green grams, coconut oil, dall, Rava, Chilli powder, coriander powder, edible

good to the members joyfully sacrificing their share with the poor. The money
saved is offered to families in need. With deepest gratitude we would like to

I
am Mrs Basamma wife of Mr Timmappa residing in Sunkanur of Manvi Taluka. We
belong to lower caste society and our financial condition is worst to think of.
We have three sons and they have gone to Bangalore for daily wage earning. Here
I live with my husband. From the past ten years we used to get Rs 1000 per month
under a special Govt scheme. We used to manage with that money for our daily
sustenance. But since last eight months due to Corona pandemic the pension which
I used to get was withheld by the Govt. We had hard times to manage during the
pandemic. Even our sons could not help us in our needs. I shared my difficulties
with Mrs. Ishamma Vimukti leader who is also living in our village and with her
own expenses took me to the different offices to claim my pension. We went to
the bank, post office, revenue department but in spite of meeting the members in
the office they didn’t respond positively for our need. It was painful to see
the reactions of the officers. We wanted to know who is mishandling the amount
that was due to me. In the process of finding out the person it was the post man
who was deliberately denied that the money hasn’t come and has used the money
for him since past five months.
