It is a collaborative programme of ECHO with Holy Cross Sisters, Bangalore, for the girls in conflict with law and girls who need care and protection. The Centre was inaugurated on 23rd June, 2007
ECHO believes that a proper home is indispensable in grooming up children. ECHO-Jeevodaya is the place where the children are released from observation home, children's home are sheltered and it provides an atmosphere where they get a chance to reform themselves.
The activities in ECHO-Jeevodaya are aimed at preparing the children to face the world outside. ECHO doesn't believe children consciously commit crimes. It is their environment, like a poor economic background or family situation, which make them disobey the law. ECHO's staffs give the girl’s specialized counseling to help them with goal motivation and personality developm
Girls are also provided with vocational training such
as Tailoring and handicraft work.
Every morning starts with music and physical exercise like jogging and yoga practice to maintain the body and to provide peace for the soul. The girls help for cooking, cleaning and gardening. This learning makes them to take care of others and gives them self-esteem because they feel responsible. In the evening they have some entertainments. Every Sunday the children attend Bala Panchayat (Child self governance) with their peer inmates. They
discuss the previous week and look for ways to improve their life and behavior in the week to come. On Sunday evenings the inmatesorganize a cultural program, where they can show their talents in singing and dancing.
Therefore the children in conflict with law and children in need of care and protection undergo rehabilitative programs to return into society as empowered citizens of this country.
