SOCIETY OF THE HELPERS OF MARY
PREMAL JYOTI
Premal Jyoti was blessed and inaugurated on 22 June 1990. The house is a stopover for the sisters of the Region, and is also used for the candidates of the Come and See program. It served earlier as the regional house before Sneha Deep was built.
​
Initially, when the sisters went round the area, they found a colony of 500 huts inhabited by rickshaw pullers and rag pickers. Education of the children was neglected so the sisters started a balwadi with 28 children. This has since become a non-formal primary school educating 200 children every year. They also organise training programs for rag pickers, rickshaw pullers and dropouts. Tailoring classes helps the women to earn a livelihood. The sisters keep in touch with the people through regular visits to the areas, also venturing into new areas of skills training programs for rag pickers, rickshaw pullers and dropouts.
