Smt. Shanta Kumari.is the mother for old people. Since 20 years, she has been looking after the deserted old people, who became burden to their own children . She was all alone by the time she started Satya sai old age home near Gachibowli in 1992. She received an award for her work in 2005.
The way she faced all the upheavals in the initial stages of this old age home runs shiver through spine. After her husband's demise, she moved to Gachibowli and started constructing this little home for old people. No money, no support, no caretaker...still she didn't moved. She strongly decided not to touch another door for help. She started ploughing, yes ploughing paddy fields. She used this paddy grains to feed old people and took milk from cows. Believe me, this is not a movie...but real life. An inspiring real life.
This is a free home & there is no religion barrier. So far, she is running this old age home on donations alone. This home is in continuous financial need in the process of care taking and maintenance. She is ready to accept donations in any form.
A sensitive young lady, with strong determination changed her world and became a role model to many.

So far, this Old age home made eye operation arrangements for 50 people. There used to be 40 people previously but keeping in view of her deteriorating health conditions, at present she is looking after around 15 old people.
2) Basic needs such as food, clothing etc.,
There is continuous need for these basic needs in the old age home.
3) For maintenance & Infrastructure.
Neatness is the very important for this home and their maintenance shows how much care they take to look after the old people. Bathroom maintenance is the main challenge for this old age home.
4) Cremation formalities.
Generally, Smt. Shanta Kumari will intimate the individual's (old man/woman) relations in his/her last moments. At times, it so happens no one attends them. In such cases, this old age home only will take care of the cremation formalities. So far, they did so for 8 people.
