Pothnal Receives New Mahindra Bolero NEO+ P10 – Strengthening Outreach:
Vimukti
Pothnal, gratefully acknowledges the generous support of Ensemble Agissons,
France, towards the purchase of a new 9-seater Mahindra Bolero NEO+ P10. The new
vehicle was purchased on 26 September 2026 and will significantly strengthen
Vimukti’s ability to reach remote villages and vulnerable communities across its
area of service. It will support community outreach, field visits, women’s
empowerment initiatives, child-focused programmes, health activities and other
humanitarian interventions. The vehicle will be particularly valuable in
reaching families affected by poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, migration and
environmental challenges. It will enable the Vimukti team to travel safely and
efficiently to communities that are often difficult to reach and to extend
essential support to people who are most vulnerable and marginalized. Vimukti
gratefully acknowledges the trust, generosity and solidarity of Mr. Patrice
Fabart and the entire Ensemble Agissons team. Their continued support is helping
Vimukti strengthen its humanitarian mission and bring hope and dignity to
vulnerable communities.
Vimukti
Pothnal, in collaboration with Vajreshwari Hospital, Sindhanur, organized a Free
Health Check-up Camp under the leadership of Dr. Malingaraya, Medical
Professional, from Sindhanur, Raichur. The camp focused particularly on
pediatric, neonatal, and general healthcare, benefiting 110 patients, including
children, parents, and senior citizens. Participants underwent basic health
screenings, including blood pressure and blood sugar checks. Dr. Malingaraya
examined the patients, provided medical advice, and prescribed medicines
according to their health needs. Patients requiring further medical attention
were advised to undergo scanning and other diagnostic investigations for
appropriate follow-up care. The camp contributed to improving access to basic
healthcare, early identification of health concerns, and timely medical guidance
among vulnerable families in the community.
Vimukti
Pothnal distributed school bags, books, and essential learning materials to 325
children from economically vulnerable families. Through our Community Tuition
Centres, children receive evening learning support, encouragement, and a safe
space to study. This initiative helps children affected by poverty and seasonal
migration stay connected to school, develop regular study habits, and continue
their education with confidence. Impact 325 Children • Community Tuition Centres
• Education with Dignity, Hope & Opportunity “A school bag may be small, but the
dreams it carries are limitless.”
Vimukti
Pothnal distributed educational books and learning materials to children
attending its community tuition centres, encouraging them to remain in school
and continue their education despite poverty and seasonal migration. The centres
provide a safe and supportive evening learning space, where children receive
regular academic guidance, mentoring, and encouragement to develop positive
study habits. Key Objectives: Prevent school dropout and educational disruption
due to migration. Provide a safe space for evening learning and academic
support. Improve children's interest, confidence, and learning outcomes. Support
children from economically vulnerable families with essential learning
materials. Impact: A total of 450 children are benefiting from the tuition
centres. The initiative is helping children stay in school, continue learning,
and build brighter futures through education. “A book in a child’s hand today
can open the door to a brighter tomorrow.”
Since
2012, Vimukti Charitable Trust (VCT) has been empowering economically vulnerable
women and adolescent girls through six-month, job-oriented tailoring and
fashion-designing training. Participants develop practical skills in blouse
stitching, Zari work, school-uniform stitching, and basic entrepreneurship,
along with guidance on marketing and accessing financial support. VCT provides
essential tailoring materials, and successful participants receive certificates
upon completion. 75 women benefited from this training, with many going on to
establish home-based micro-enterprises and earning around ₹6,500 per month as
supplementary family income. This additional income helps families meet
household needs, pay children’s school fees, and provide essential educational
materials. More importantly, the programme has strengthened women’s confidence,
dignity, financial independence, and self-reliance, enabling them to become
active contributors to their families and communities.
Vimukti
Pothnal conducted a staff capacity-building training programme on Child Rights,
POSH, and Child Abuse Prevention. The training focused on strengthening staff
awareness of children’s rights, safeguarding responsibilities, prevention and
identification of abuse, appropriate reporting mechanisms, and creating a safe
and child-friendly environment. Staff were also oriented on the importance of
professional conduct, confidentiality, accountability, and zero tolerance
towards any form of abuse or harassment. The session enhanced the staff’s
knowledge and preparedness to protect children, uphold their dignity and rights,
and respond responsibly to safeguarding concerns. Vimukti remains committed to
building a safe, respectful, and protective environment for every child and
staff member.
