Life at Karm Marg
Karm Marg Philosophy
Karm Marg, literally meaning the ‘Path of Work and Action’. As the name suggests, the driving force behind Karm Marg’s functioning has been the desire to teach disadvataged kids and youngsters by our own example to be self-sustaining. To instil in them a sense of self-worth and dignity of labour. To provide a nurturing and stimulating environment for their holistic development as contributing members of the community. At Karm Marg, we practice and preach inclusion, acceptance and harmony with mankind, animals and nature.
Karm Marg was borne out of the need to provide a secure and loving environment to disadvantaged children and youth from the streets and railway stations. Young adults who ran away from home due to ill treatment or abuse, children who lived in unsuitable conditions like drug infested railway platforms, sexually exploitive red-light areas or those who ended up as child labour and suffered physical or mental abuse or those like a few of our mentally disabled kids who were completely abandoned. Growing up in such environments ensures a very high chance of a life of crime and despair. The idea was to provide them a meaningful existence and empower them with skills to live a self reliant life.
The focus groups for Karm Marg are disadvantaged children, young adults and economically backward rural women from villages near our campus.
