Ø MISSION’S ACTIVITIES :-
1. A survey on CHILD LITERACY in TC Palya,Bangalore --
- An extensive 2-day survey by Team Mission 5 on
11-02-2007 and 18-03-2007, together with
Shishu Mandir, found 20 children in and around
TC Palya unable to go to school, due to poverty.

- The Mission aims at admitting these 20 children,

plus 5 children of Jivithanatha Ashram into

St.Antony School,Bosconagar, in the coming
academic session.

- The cost of education for a child per annum at primary
level is Rs.1500. This sum includes the expenses of
3 sets of uniform [with shoes], bag, books and

per month for 10 calendar months to

sponsor the education of one child.
