Dear Sir Subsequent to further enquiries from some of you, Srikainkarya is furnishing the details below 1. This is a Public School run by " Cuddalore Educational Foundation Trust( Regd No 161/98) and this is the ONLY school in Cuddalore district where famous Chidambaram temple , Srimushnam temple,Vallalar Gnanaoli sabha, avathara sthalam of SRiman Nathamunigal( Kattumannarkoil) birthplace of Appar,famous Sivalaya of of Shri Padaleeswarar, Sri Vridhdhgiriswarar temple( Vridhachalam), Sri Kolanjiappar koil( near Vridhachalam) etc are located. This is a PUNNIYA BHOOMI( Cuddalore) where SRi Appar converted to Saivasm from Budhdhist( Karayeravittakuppam is very near) In this district and at the head-quarters of the district, this school is functioning for the past ten years and this is the only school

for mentally-retarded children These are unfortunate children in our Socity, who cannot speak/hear and lead a normal life, like others. But they are talented, yes, morethan other normal children. They have been rejected by our Society. Is it fair? Are they also not the beloved children of the same God whom we all worship?Are they not eligible to lead a life like us? Yes, yes, certainly. Bearing all these in mind , two businessmen, one leading senior advocate, one famous chartered accountant( Auditor) and one gentleman who sacrified his life for social service have joined together and formed a trust in the year 1998, by name " The Cuddalore Educational Foundation Trust " and got it registered C E F T ) C E F T ( shortly called for convenience) is running a special school called " DAYA "where 26 students ( 15-girls & 11 boys) are studying with 3 trained teachers to specially teach to these mentally - retarded students This trust is conducting medical seminars in the field of Psychiatrist physiotherapy, neurologist & speech therapy. Recently , 6 students participated in the " Bharat Olympic" and won two second prizes and one gold medal. This gold-medalist boy has been selected to all India Contest at Newdelhi. He participated in two events and got two gold medals Besides the above, this Trust is running a home for aged-people called " Samarpann" and at present there are 16 inmates All these are possible, because of untiring , self-less service of the trustees. When Srikainkarya went to the rented house

where these Daya & Samarpann are located, is astonished to see the activities of the children and other inmates Though Srikainkarya as an Officer visited somany places like this in it's service to preside over many functions, to distribute clothe, utinsils , to check the activities to sanction grants from the Tamilnadu Government,it is a wonderful atmosphere here at Cuddalore having dedicated trustees, teachers and others who are all having one aim to see that both the "Daya" & Samarpann" are located in it's own building soon. We cannot see such a dedicated people elswhere and their wish is reasonable and genuine. This is a service to unfortunate. neglected and really affected people in our society. In turn , this is a service to Almighty who extends His benevolence to those who are helping such of these
