Its unique feature might be called its ideal of “Creative Reconstruction”. The Madras Seva Sadan recognizes that “The world is a world and not a charitable institution” and steers clear of one of the gravest dangers that beset organization for relieving the helpless viz., a passive purposeless charity which has a degrading and deadening effect on its recipients. Initially The Madras Seva Sadan sought to reconstruct the broken lives of young women and not allow them to drift into oblivious inaction. It, therefore, made provision for literary training as well as instruction in art and handicrafts, so that young women, after a stay in The Madras Seva Sadan, could go into the world equipped to live an independent, self supporting life. It still continues to follow the pattern laid down by the founders. In course of time education and other facilities have been offered to boys and men as well. A further step has been to include the wealthy as well as the indigent into the fold of the Sadan. |
