Marriage of female inmates is an effective form of rehabilitation.
We have conducted many marriages for the inmates so far. Many of the Grooms come directly expressing their desire to marry our inmate. The first step is for the superintendent to interview the applicant to find out the details about him and the factors that prompted him to come seeking the hands of a destitute inmate of the Home. After finding out from the applicant all the required details, if superintendent feels that the applicant is acceptable suitable match will be identified from the inmates above 21 years, and shown. If both of them agrees, the applicant has to fill up a prescribed application form. The District Probation Oficer of the Social welfare Department of the concerned place of the applicant conduct detailed enquiry about the whereabouts and provide detailed report. If favorable reports are received, the subject will be placed before the Managing Committee and the marriage will be fixed.The Marriages are performed in the presence of distinguished guests like Ministers , Social Leaders and Government Officers .Caste is not a factor for the marriages here.
The expenses are met by the generous help extended by sponsors. Marriages are arranged by the Home, meeting all the expenses including gold ornaments and dress for the bride. The bride groom has to bring the `Thali` and chain.
Sri Chitra`s quality bound books are used in Govt. offices, schools and colleges. By this venture we are able to provide employment to the inmates and find income to meet the expenses of the centre. We can make the books available for use as per the order.
