The Dharam Prasar Vibhag of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has started a Bal Sanskar Kendra at Port Blair in the Andamans for economically and socially deprived children. Children from class one to fifth come to the Kendra for two hours daily. Apart from narrating the stories of the saints, great personalities, freedom fighters and the glorious history of the country the children are also taught yoga. Once in three months the health check up of the children is also conducted. People speaking Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Malayalam, etc. reside in Port Blair. The Sanskar Kendra has become a bridge of developing social harmony and national unity among these people. The Kendra is being run by the Bharat Kalyan Pratishthan and Bharatiya Jansewa Sansthan with the help of the people. Today, 25 such Kendras are being run in the whole Andamans and 15 Kendras in the Port Blair. (FOC)
