Sankalpa Makkala Dhama is a proposed Child Care Institution (CCI) aimed at providing comprehensive care, protection, and education to boys from vulnerable backgrounds, particularly those from migrant families in Bengaluru’s Electronic City. This initiative addresses the critical issue of street children, who often find themselves in precarious situations due to economic hardships, leading to child labor and exploitation. The CCI will be strategically located within Government Lower Primary School in Chikkanagamangala, Anekal, ensuring accessibility for those in need. The program will offer a safe shelter with basic necessities, formal and non-formal educational support, nutritional assistance, healthcare services, counseling, life skills training, and community engagement initiatives. By focusing on these key areas, the CCI aims to create a nurturing environment that fosters the holistic development of these boys, empowering them to reintegrate into society successfully. Expected outcomes include improved safety and protection for the children, enhanced educational performance, better health and well-being, essential skill development for future employment, and increased self-empowerment.
