Children to go to schools/not work
The' Vidya Pakshosthavalu' programme of the State is being implemented innovatively by Tharuni. On an experimental basis Tharuni initiated a Rally by the Parents in the villages who are supposed to send their children regularly to school, instead of making them work,along with teachers, villagers and Tharuni coordinators with placards and a big banner,with the slogan "children have right to education and parents have responsibility to send them to school''. In Telugu "chaduvu pillala hakku,Chadivinchadam peddala badhyatha'. The Tharuni team reach the school and make the parents sign on the banner accepting to send their ward to school as a promise. If they fail to send, the village community will question them, along with the teachers and Tharuni, as the Banner is hanged to the wall in the school. Hope an attitudinal change will come among the parents realising the importance of education.

Girls groups in schools by Tharuni -a great change
There are thousands of Balika Sanghas ( Girls Groups), in the government schools already existing in the four mandals where Tharuni is working for the last 12 years in the Warangal District. They are actively involving themselves not only in their personal problems but also in the community activities, meeting every fortnight.
Really it is a great change Tharuni brought in the lives of the adoloscent girls. The Balika sangham at Viswanathapuram village in Geesukonda Mandal is one of the examples where the girls installed placards to protect and save the people from committing suicides and also against polluting the Water tank in the village. similarly the Balika sangham in Vanchanagiri village in the same Mandal assembled as a parliament, identified the problems in the village, made a representation to the Sarpanch of the village to solve them immediately. In another village Manugonda, Ravali, studying 9th class, did not agree to work in the cotton fields when her mother asked her to do so as she prefers to go to school.She erected the placard against child labour in the middle of the village.Tharuni congratulates the Balika sanghas for their concern for the development of their villages.

Tharuni Programmes in the Summer of 2011
*Tharuni Volunteers stopped twelve Child Marriages in the Geesukonda Mandal of Warangal District.
*More than hundred school drop out children were admitted in the schools in the four Mandals.
School bags were distributed to them along with the stationery. Twenty five in Deveruppula Mandal, fifty two in Station Ghanpur Mandal , eighteen in Dharmasagar and few more in Geesukonda Mandal were identified as drop out children by Tharuni Volunteers.
* Tharuni conducted survey on the water and sanitation problems in the government schools under the supervision of UNICEF and submitted the report, to be resubmitted to the Centre for Environmental Science. It is a pity that many schools do not have these basic amenities leading to many school drop outs every year. Hope the Government reacts to this situation and improves the sanitation and water facilities in the schools.
*Under the sponsorship of UNICEF Tharuni arranged Tuitions for the students of 8th, 9th, and 10th classes in three villages in Geesukonda Mandal and two villages in Dharmasagar in the Mathematics subject.
