Dear Friends,
14th June 2011 was another milestone in Parivaar's journey when we started our new Girls' Residential Campus and all our girls have relocated there. This campus has been built for a capacity to accommodate 500 resident girls. The campus, which is 4 acres in area, has been constructed over last 2 and half years at an overall cost of Rs 4 Crores (including Rs 75 Lacs of land). Ever since Parivaar started we had girls as well as boys living in a common campus. A women's residential team was very hard to build, but we were always clear that we should try to maintain a 50-50 ratio in terms of boys and gilrs. A lot of people used to advise us not to scale up in girls' residential caretaking domain, as it is quite challenging (and generally undertaken by all-women's organisations or organisations founded by women social entrepreneurs, but we never toned down our vision and goals. There were times when even we felt that we were having skewed manpower pattern in our organisation as far as male and female Sevavratees were concerned, but with continued special efforts we have been able to build a competent and highly dedicated women's team for managing the Parivaar's Girls' Residential Campus. Parivaar's own quality Formal School Amar Bharat Vidyapeeth would continue to have all our resident children (i.e. from boys' as well as girls' campuses), so education would remain co-ed.
