ORPHANAGE VISIT

Venue: The Navechethana Childrens Orphanage, Avalahalli

Date: 03rd February 2025

The event was intended to promote social and community values among students and help the needy at the venue.

The collections were started on January 30 and 31, 2025 for two days with a soul purpose of noble cause donating in cash and kind by entire college faculties and students.

An orphanage is a residential institution dedicated to the care of orphans—children whose biological parents are deceased or otherwise unable or unwilling to care for them. Orphanages have been in existence for centuries, providing refuge and protection for vulnerable children. However, the concept of orphanages has evolved significantly over time, influenced by societal changes, policy shifts, and advancements in child psychology.

Orphanages serve a pivotal role in society. They are the backbone of support for children who have been orphaned or abandoned, providing them with a semblance of a normal life. They not only cater to the basic needs of these children but also focus on their overall development, ensuring they grow into responsible and independent adults. Despite their noble intentions, orphanages face numerous challenges. These include limited resources, overcrowding, and sometimes even allegations of abuse or neglect. The children, despite having their basic needs met, often lack personalized care and attention, which can affect their emotional and psychological development. There is a growing consensus that the traditional orphanage model needs reform. Emphasis is being placed on family-based care, where children are placed in foster families or adopted, rather than being raised in institutional settings. This approach is believed to offer a more nurturing environment for children to grow and thrive.

The students have enlightened themselves with regards to importance of social values and working mechanism of orphanage.
