The objective of the group is to encourage the children in their school in various educational and social activities, to reward the deserving ones, to provide facilities for the betterment of their life pattern, and to guide them to become better and complete citizens. Asha's one-time grant enabled Udbhas to lease a permanent house for the school.
Udbhas is a registered voluntary welfare organization working for over 16 years (since January 1988) in slum areas close to Rabindra Sarobar in Calcutta. Their mission is to serve children from the deprived section of our society. They have been trying to improve the socio-economic condition of underprivileged children , irrespective of caste, creed and religion by promoting literacy and self- reliance. Children are taught the basics. Once the child attains a certain level, they are admitted to former schools and coach them. Special care is taken to motivate drop-outs to continue their studies. Many of the students have been appearing for School Final, Higher Secondary and even Degree examination. Various vocational and cultural trainings are part of the school's activities. A number of ex-students are by now on their own and settled in life. Success stories of some such students are really encouraging.
The group has published a quarterly children's magazine, Udbhas Patrika, since sept. 1992.
