They fulfill a great need”.
   
  Retired Headmaster of a Middle school and recipient of the President’s award for the best teacher:
 
“The Foundation’s project element of fortnightly teacher training for the evening classes instructors,
is unique. It has significantly improved their teaching skills and helps greatly in inculcating good value

A Parent of a beneficiary child in Kattankulam village in Vadipatti taluk of Madurai district:
 
“The Vidya Vikasini evening classes of BHF, for children are fruitful and effective in imparting sound
knowledge of the syllabus to the children; the regular schools where they study usually promote
all of them mechanically upto the 10th grade”.
   
  A computer teacher employed in a government school in Samayanallur in Madurai district:
 
“In government schools even students in the 12th grade who opt for computer science are not
permitted to use the computer for more than half an hour in a week. In the BHF project,
students from the 6th grade onwards are using computers for 2 hours every week with personal care
and attention. The learning process is therefore effective”.

our services in coordination with BHF, to reach remote areas”.
   
  Senior Staff of Vivekananda Kendra, Kanyakumari:
 
“I observed the discipline of the 120 children for three days of the heritage camp of BHF, in

opportunity to these poor rural children and for laying a sound foundation for their growth”.

and entertain rural masses but to preserve this ancient art form of the State”.
