About us

Welcome to Vatsalya Mandir, a sanctuary of love, compassion, and aspirations for orphaned girls. Nestled near the tranquil environs of 133 K.V. Sub Station – Kollapur X Road, Nagar Kurnool, Mahabubnagar District. We are on a steadfast mission to create a nurturing heven where destitute girls not only survive but flourish, transforming into self-reliant, empowered individuals capable of conquering life’s challenges.

Vatsalya Mandir, affectionately known as ‘Bala Kalyana Kendram,’ came into being in June 2002, a testament to the unwavering commitment of the Gnaneswara Seva Trust. This bastion of love spans a sprawling 3600 square yards, a tangible testament to the boundless generosity of Sri Akarapu Kumaraswamygaru and his family, revered for their tireless philanthropic contributions.

Holistic Developement

At Vatsalya Mandir, we offer these girls more than just the basics. We provide a comprehensive array of vocational training courses, including computer education, tailoring, knitting, and driving, equipping these young minds with practical skills that will empower them throughout their lives. Additionally, they engage in a spectrum of recreational activities, find solace in prayer and yoga, and have unfettered access to study materials, clothing, and medical facilities.

Our Inspiration

“I do not believe in a religion or god which cannot wipe the tears of a destitute child or bring a piece of bread to the orphan’s mouth.” – Swami Vivekananda

At Vatsalya Mandir, we wholeheartedly embrace the profound wisdom of Swami Vivekananda. We fervently believe that tending to the needs of destitute children is not just a responsibility; it is a noble societal duty that transcends the boundaries of caste, religion, or creed. We see it as an opportunity to effect profound change in the lives of these young souls.
