I am working here as the manager from the past one and half years
There are seperate hostels for boys and girls. Right now, there are 31 boys and 11 girls. The total strength is 42.
Girls hostel is presently in Jayanagar,Mysore. This institute owns both the hostels.
We don't collect any fees from the students here. We provide free food, shelter and clothing for the students. Also we give scholarships to pursue their education.
The students who are pursuing their pre-university courses and other degree courses can stay here. All such students are presently studying here.
We give the first preference to the poor in the rural areas, especially to the orphans. We educate them and help them move to the outside world in a right way.
Yearly, a minimum of 100 students pass out from this institution. This year we celebrated the centenary of the institution. A book was also published.
We need to maintain all these. We need money to maintain. Many of the old inmates and philanthropists donate heartly to this cause. They even get the tax exemptions doing so.
Our institution has given the people to hire it's own properties to support the cause, like the shops outside the institution, the Shantala theatre and the petrol bunk near it.
We need at least Rs.24,000 to educate a child for an year.
That too only the food and accomodation expenses. We provide them for free here.Every year, many people come and give the scholarships to the students.
We distribute about 70-80 thousand rupees of scholarships to the students every year.
We have taken up a new project.The project is to build a new girls hostel as there are more girls than the boys who are interested in pursuing their education through the institution.
We can accomodate around 25 girls in there. Also, we provide good quality and hygenic food to all the inmates.We dont provide less food or bad quality food as it is a free institution.
If a student fails, we send him back. The merit students will get more scholarships.
Many people come here and celebrate their birthdays.
And some even sponsor meals for the students.
Like that, around 3-4 people come here and give something to the students.
Many people give rice,coconuts. Some give the food materials that are enough for a month. So there are no problems pertaining to such aspects.
We have kept a security guard because many are misusing some of our liberties.
First we were using the institution hall as a convention hall and were getting the rents from marriages. Then we felt that this was distrubing the students.
So,we are no longer using it as a convention hall. We have kept the complete hall as the study room for the students.
Upstairs, we are having the rooms. We have a hall downstairs. There are in total 80 rooms.
If we accomodate atleast 2 in a room, we will be able to accomodate 160 students. We have no problems accomadating them.
We are having funds.As we are having a 100 year history, many who had been in respectable posts are voluntarily helping and donating us without any of our personal requests.
We have a policy that we give a donation book to our old inmates, and they have to collect the donations only from their hometown. They go nowhere else to collect the donations.
We get an average of 40-50 thousand rupees donations every month.We will get the rent for the maintainence. We have bank depoisits,we get interests.
So,we have no problem in providing all these facilities to the students.
But we need strength.We are not having complete strength. We inform the public through newspapers during April-May. We are giving the applications for their admission.
We are having a registered board for doing all these. A registrar and an auditer are present in this board. We are having very good members in the board.
Our accounts are like Mirrors.We have maintained it so well and perfectly.As we are transparent with our accounts,we have not having any bad name.
I am the manager.We are having a warden.Also,we are having workers who are assigned specific works
R.Guru,the director of Vasu Agarbatties is the chairman of this institution. Y.N.Shreenivasan is the present secretary.
There is a good bonding and cooperation between the governing board and the staff.
That cooperation has lead this institution smoothly to such a level.
There is no problem for any student here.

I am working here as the warden *** the kitchen incharge. We look at their necesitties, and provide the necessary cooperation and facilities to overcome them.
We are not taking a penny for their stay and food here. It is a free hostel.They are spending the money for their educational needs here.
Also various organizations and our institution are giving scholarships to the students to help them pursue their studies.
There are totally 11 girls here because there is limited accomadation.We are building a new hostel in Srirampura.There we can accomodate upto 25 girls.
We provide food and shelter to all the brahmin girls, who are in difficulty or who have come from distant places.
All the girls bond well here.They treat me as their mother and I treat them as my children.They help me in my works.
In my absence too they will adjust themselves and complete all the works that are to be done.
