ECHO Spandana (Mysore)

Encouraged by the success of our endeavors in Bangalore city, ECHO-Center for Juvenile Justice contemplated the need to expand our activities and reach out to many more children in need. Taking cognizance of the similarity in the milieu in which children live and the various causes that contribute to this scenario ECHO choose work in the city of Mysore. It was inaugurated in the month of July 2007 by

Sri. Praveen Sood, IPS- Commissioner of Police, Mysore. Reinforcing the ideologies which lead to the initiation of ECHO, Spandana works towards protecting the rights of children and providing services for their holistic development. ECHO-Spandana provides an ambit of services to help both children in conflict with law and children in need of care and protection.

Staff from ECHO-Spandana visit the Observation Home, council the children and attempts are made to look for the families of these children, primarily to inform the parents their child’s whereabouts. The parents also are counseled before the release of the child. Regular contacts are maintained with the family to help them cope with problem they might face from society or the police.

In circumstances where the child is unable to go back with family children below 15 years are given shelter at ECHO-Spandana, children above 15 years of age are sent to ECHO’s Transition Home at Bangalore.

Staff from ECHO-Spandana visit the Children’s Homes and interact with children. Regular visits to the Children’s home, helps the staff build rapport with the children. The staff also is involved in the daily routine of children housed here. To help these children forget the ordeal that they

have been through, regular cultural programmes are conducted where prizes are given to them.

Working with the children in the milieu they come from is imperative for any kind of intervention to prevent children from taking to crime. Keeping this in minds ECHO-Spandana has been visiting the slums in Mysore city to initiate a community based programme.
