Universalisation of Elementary Education
One major focus of CARPED is the promotion of child rights. This includes the
promotion of elementary education through day and evening centres by motivating
parents and children of marginalized communities, especially girls, for
enrollment into government schools and hostels. Around 3000 children in
Kowdipally mandal have been enrolled into government schools through CARPED's
efforts since 1998. Other activities are taken up to fight child labor as well
as child marriages. Besides, CARPED has implemented various programs for
nutrition and health care for mothers and children, such as immunization
programs, birth registration, regular pre- and postnatal examinations etc in
Kowdipally mandal. Sanitation facilities and clean drinking water facilities
have been improved in the villages with the assistance of government.
Safe
environs for school children
CARPED has initiated a programme in Hyderabad, Warangal and Medak, to create a safe place to walk for school children.
Sensitisation of children, parents and teaching community on road safety have
been started in a cluster of schools. CARPED aims to intensify the campaign for
safe environs around the schools for children with the participation of NGOs,
CBOs and volunteers.

professionals from social sciences, environment education and engineering are
engaged in these activities. The team caters to the capacity development needs
of the development practitioners of NGOs and CBOs in the districts. It is more
