SOCIAL REHABILITATION AND RURAL UPLIFTMENT
|
|
Even after 60 years of Independence, villages in and around Puducherry continue
to remain backward due to a combination of natural, social and economic tribulation.
They include illiteracy, unemployment and lack of sanitation, water–borne diseases,
malnutrition, alcoholism and scarce medical facilities among others.
|
|
Sriram Charitable Trust seeks to address the needs of societies most neglected.
The problems are colossal. The Trust is lighting a candle instead of cursing the
darkness. Its contribution to reduce these problems may amount to a drop in the
ocean today. All the same, the ocean is richer by a drop.
