We all fall in our life, but then it becomes a learning experience for us to move forward in life. Working with vulnerable children have helped us learn their life stories. I would like to take your focus to the children/ Juveniles who for some or the other reasons violated the Indian Penal Code. In India these Children as per Juvenile Justice Act 2000 are called Juvenile with conflict with law (JCL) which are kept under observation to improve their behaviour.
CSA is also associated with one such home where we studied the reason behind children violating the Indian Penal Code. The prominent reason we found was Poverty, unemployment and all related circumstances. Along with the counseling efforts, we had to come up with some practical solution for the betterment of their life.
To let these children move forward it was very necessary that they get some income generating skills. Therefore CSA introduced short term Vocational Courses. We successfully done with an auto mobile course last quarter and helped children understand that money can be earned through respectable manner also. This batch's children motivated the other in-mates in such a way that they themself came to CSA for nomination for the next course. This time we had 11 children who showed willingness to go for Electrician course. The course stared in the month of August with 80% practicals and handling of electrical Equipments.
Children attended the course and completed it successfully their Job placement interviews are also due now and hopefully they will get jobs and will move forward in their life.CSA wishes best of luck to all these aspiring Youths of India.
