Govt negligence effecting the prospects of Orphans & under privileged children

CM Shri Prithviraj Chavan had announced grant to the ITI functioning
under the Childrens Aid Society almost 30 months back, which has still
not received by the Society. This was disclosed by the Chief Executive
Officer of the Childrens Aid Society in a reply to the query filed by
RTI Activist Anil Galgali. In the past 23 years of the existence of
the Society almost 943 students secured jobs due to the ITI. Due to
the negligence the poor, under privileged orphans are suffering from
the govt lethargy.

Chairman of Athak Seva Sangh & RTI Activist Anil Galgali had sought
information about the ITI from the Childrens Aid Society. The CEO of
the Childrens Aid Society in its reply mentioned that the ITI was
established in August 1989 to provide industrial training to the poor,
underprivileged, orphan child. Since 1991 to 2013, 943 boys & girls
secured jobs in various prestigious companies due to the industrial
training being imparted by the institute. In 1999 almost 65 orphaned
students secured jobs. The ITI through its information center has been
successful in placing its passed out students as trainees in large
factories. The trainees were placed in establishments like the BARC,
BEST, Indian Railways & ONGC and many more likewise establishments in
both govt as well as private sector.

In-spite of such excellent track record the ITI is at present closed.
On the occasion of Children day on 15/11/2011 the CM himself had
announced the plan of reviving the institute which has still not
happened. Anil Galgali has expressed regret at the closure of the
institute and in a letter addressed to the CM, Anil Galgali has
reminded the promise made by the CM on the occasion and demanded an
immediate revival of the Institute, which has been responsible for the
rehabilitation of many orphan children in the mainstream. The absence
of the institute is certainly effecting the future of many more such
children who are in need of rehabilitation.
