The efforts taken by <a href=\"https://amarseva.org/\">ASSA</a> in prevention of Polio since 1985 and by the state through “Polio Plus” program since 1995 have been very successful. There has not been a single Polio case in the past 2 years in the area serviced by <a href=\"https://amarseva.org/\">ASSA</a>.<h3>Extension 4 – Physiotherapy Center and Hostel:</h3>\n<p align=\"justify\">\nThe Physiotherapy Centre and hostel for the disabled was constructed with the Govt. of Japan grant and is equipped by the grant from Rotary Intl. The facility is in extensive use by both Mentally and Physically challenged children at ASSA, persons under outreach and daycare programs. The facility is also open to anyone in need of therapy.

HCI donated to the main school building at <a href=\"https://amarseva.org/\">Amar Seva Sangam (ASSA)</a> facility from 1992 to 1995. In 1999, HCI played a major role in acquiring a generous grant from Indian Overseas Bank in Chennai to build the elementary school, which was being held at a thatched hut in the village.\n<br><br>\nThe School, housed in a thatched shed had only five children, was shifted to a proper building located within the <a href=\"https://amarseva.org/\">ASSA</a> campus and was accorded recognition by the Tamil Nadu State Government in the year 1991. It has become a well reputed middle school with standards I to IX. The total strength as on date is over 860 and the school is open to the community. Fifty of the students who are disabled are also under the “Home Care” program. Fully qualified teachers offer high quality education.\n<br><br>\nQualified personnel impart craft and physical education. Mass drill and march-past form an important aspect of physical education. The pupils have participated and won several prizes at the state level competitions in debate, elocution, sports, music and cultural competitions conducted under the auspices of various organizations. The disabled pupils residing at <a href=\"https://amarseva.org/\">ASSA</a> get not only quality education, but the opportunity to interact and compete with their normal healthy classmates and hence develop their social habits in a constructive manner. The goal is to integrate the Handicapped with the society and make them independent in every possible way.

This project was launched after much consideration, based on the dire need for such a service in the rural district. Poor, rural individuals who encountered unfortunate accidents and sustained severe spinal cord injuries, needed a rehab centre with quality service by dedicated trained staff. Most of these accident victims have become Quadriplegic (paralyzed from neck down) or Paraplegic (paralyzed from waist down). With proper care and intense physiotherapy, the recovery could be remarkable, to the extent that they can have the use of their arms, learn computer applications and eventually become fit for employment. <a href=\"https://amarseva.org/\">Amar Seva Sangam</a> has taken huge strides in achieving this.

Each sub-centre offers training in specific areas, free of charge to the disabled youth in order to equip them with job skills. These centres are open to normal and paying students as well. The fee collected is utilized for maintenance and development.\n<br><br>\nThe Computer Centre comprises a total of 316 youth who have received “Computer Training” – 40 of which were disabled. As well, 14 disabled and 40 non-disabled youth have received training in typewriting. <a href=\"https://amarseva.org/\">ASSA</a> also makes and repairs the calipers used by the disabled children providing vocational training and job opportunities in the process. They are able to cut the cost by more than 50% than if they were to order from outside sources.

HCI donated to the main school building at <a href=\"https://amarseva.org/\">Amar Seva Sangam (ASSA)</a> facility from 1992 to 1995. In 1999, HCI played a major role in acquiring a generous grant from Indian Overseas Bank in Chennai to build the elementary school, which was being held at a thatched hut in the village.\n<br><br>\nThe School, housed in a thatched shed had only five children, was shifted to a proper building located within the <a href=\"https://amarseva.org/\">ASSA</a> campus and was accorded recognition by the Tamil Nadu State Government in the year 1991. It has become a well reputed middle school with standards I to IX. The total strength as on date is over 860 and the school is open to the community. Fifty of the students who are disabled are also under the “Home Care” program. Fully qualified teachers offer high quality education.\n<br><br>\nQualified personnel impart craft and physical education. Mass drill and march-past form an important aspect of physical education. The pupils have participated and won several prizes at the state level competitions in debate, elocution, sports, music and cultural competitions conducted under the auspices of various organizations.

Poor, rural individuals who encountered unfortunate accidents and sustained severe spinal cord injuries, needed a rehab centre with quality service by dedicated trained staff. Most of these accident victims have become Quadriplegic (paralyzed from neck down) or Paraplegic (paralyzed from waist down). With proper care and intense physiotherapy, the recovery could be remarkable, to the extent that they can have the use of their arms, learn computer applications and eventually become fit for employment. <a href=\"https://amarseva.org/\">Amar Seva Sangam</a> has taken huge strides in achieving this.

HCI donated to the main school building at <a href=\"https://amarseva.org/\">Amar Seva Sangam (ASSA)</a> facility from 1992 to 1995. In 1999, HCI played a major role in acquiring a generous grant from Indian Overseas Bank in Chennai to build the elementary school, which was being held at a thatched hut in the village.\n<br><br>\nThe School, housed in a thatched shed had only five children, was shifted to a proper building located within the <a href=\"https://amarseva.org/\">ASSA</a> campus and was accorded recognition by the Tamil Nadu State Government in the year 1991. It has become a well reputed middle school with standards I to IX. The total strength as on date is over 860 and the school is open to the community. Fifty of the students who are disabled are also under the “Home Care” program. Fully qualified teachers offer high quality education.\n<br><br>\nQualified personnel impart craft and physical education. Mass drill and march-past form an important aspect of physical education. The pupils have participated and won several prizes at the state level competitions in debate, elocution, sports, music and cultural competitions conducted under the auspices of various organizations.

Most of these accident victims have become Quadriplegic (paralyzed from neck down) or Paraplegic (paralyzed from waist down).

He started with 5 children, and started teaching them while providing them with food &amp; shelter. He realized that education and knowledge are the main avenues to empower those with disabilities.</p><p>From 1981-91, the organization had a gradual and steady growth under his tender loving care. In 1992 Sri S. Sankara Raman joined ASSA as the hon. Secretary and with his phenomenal partnership, ASSA is growing exponentially.
