th

st
instruction in the government schools of A.P. Now- a- days, dental health and eye care of kids is deteriorating,
may be due to financial encumbrances of their parents. Though govt. is coming forward with mighty plans,
its implementation is questionable. HH plans to reach out to them through our Prajna and A:ro:gya Vika:s
volunteers and also by inspiring and encouraging willing and sincere volunteers to extend the services. The

teachers are also becoming a part of this noble mission. They impart to the kids some moral based values
through our prajna books ‘ma:thrude:vo bhava’ and ‘pithrude:vo: bhava’. For this purpose initially 1000
govt. schools are identified all over Andhra Pradesh. On this occasion, Sri Swamiji gave valuable suggestions
to the volunteers on how should they plan their work. All the volunteers showed lots of enthusiasm to put into

action the plans with the guiding inspiration of Swamiji.
