Brthya has agreed to
financially assist
‘Dr. Muthulakshmi
Reddy Women’s
Association’ to
train one batch of
twenty five students
as Nurse-aides in
the area of Home
Nursing.
The one year course,
similar to the one
conducted in the
previous year, by
the Indian Red Cross
Society, Tamil Nadu
branch, is expected
to commence in
August. These
students will be
absorbed in the home
nursing careers
offered by Shraddha.
Dr. Muthulakshmi
Reddy (1886-1968)
was an eminent
medical practitioner
and social reformer
in India. In spite
of various
constraints faced by
girls in India of
her time, she could
complete her higher
education, and was
admitted into
medical profession.
She became one of
the first woman
doctors in India.
Soon thereafter, she
came under the
influence of Annie
Besant, and then of
Mahatma Gandhi.
She was nominated to
the Madras
Legislature as a
member of
legislative council
in 1926, and became
the first woman to
be a member of any
legislature in
India.
She was the
founder-president of
the Women’s Indian
Association (WIA)
and became the first
alderwoman of the
Madras Corporation.
Dr Reddy was
actively involved
with several
orphanage homes and
women’s welfare
organizations, and
initiated measures
to improve the
medical facilities
given to slum
dwellers. In 1930,
she founded Avvai
Home, a home for
destitute women and
orphans at Chennai.
She founded the
Adyar Cancer
Institute for which
the foundation stone
was laid by
Jawaharlal Nehru in
1952. It is today a
world-renowned
institution offering
treatment to nearly
80,000 cancer
patients every year.

More than Twenty
five students have
enrolled for the
second batch of the
two year diploma
course on Nursing
organized by Brthya
at Chennai.
The first batch of
six students was
taken-in, in August
2007. The course is
conducted by
Keerthana Institute
of Paramedical
sciences.
As a result of
intense village
development
activities and
awareness programs
taken up in the
months of April, May
and June 2008,
students from
several villages are
now aware of the
opportunities in the
paramedical line and
home nursing areas.
Of the twenty five
students 90% are the
children of farmers.
75% are from Science
Groups in the
twelfth grade. 65%
of the students are
financially assisted
by Brthya and will
be absorbed in the
Home Nursing jobs of
Shraddha.
Geographically 55%
of the students come
from villages to the
west and 30% from
villages to the
south of Chennai
situated in a radius
of about 100 KM.
As was anticipated,
72% of the students
have secured 50 to
70% marks in the
twelfth grade which
is the targeted
strata. It is the
students in this
performance level
that would find very
meaningful jobs
through this scheme
and add value to the
family, instead of
getting left out by
the main stream.
Noteworthy is the
fact that two
students at 80-90%
performance level in
the twelfth grade
have also joined
this scheme, since
they are otherwise
unable to go to
colleges by
themselves.
