Sarath Babu former Railway Clerk Rescues Children Who Beg & Steal on Platforms. One of Them Is a Scientist Today. :- This former railway clerk from Nellore station, known as "Daddy" to more than 120 children, runs an organization that provides food for the body and soul to some of the most battered lives in our country.

When Sarath Babu was working with the Railways, he used to see dirty urchins from different backgrounds daily on the railway platform. He first started out with providing these children with a place to eat and rest and sleep.

But on seeing the efforts of Sarath and his team, the villagers supported him and encouraged him to continue working in the village. They donated 4.5 acres of land to develop the school and living space for the children, which came to be known as the CHILD ashram. The children from the village and the children from the railway platforms are treated with equal love and warmth by the residents of the area.

In fact, the children of CHILD Ashram are the first to receive an invitation for any wedding or function organized by the villagers. They are also the first to be served food, a custom that is reserved for the most honoured guests.

These are the stories of some of the children who have benefitted from Sarath Babu's efforts:

One of the children's father was an employee at Trirumala Tirupati Devastanam. Due to conflicts within the family, the father committed suicide, the boy left his home and lived on railway platforms, and was involved in petty thefts. This child, under Sarath's care, went on to pass Class 10 in the 1st division and completed M.Sc. in organic chemistry with distinction. He is now working as a Jr. Scientist at the National Institute of Technology, Suratkal, Mangalore.

A second child was hit hard by his father's sudden death and mother's subsequent depression. He fell into bad company and took to living on platforms. After being rescued by Sarath Babu, he has today completed a polytechnic course in civil engineering and is serving as a Work Inspector in the Panchayat Raj Department.

A third child, who used to beg for alms on railway platforms dressed in nothing but ragged underwear, is today serving as a Sub-Inspector in the Andhra Pradesh Police Department.

The fourth child's story is even more heartbreaking, yet amazing. His father lost his arm in a saw-mill and later died. His mother used to sell tea and the child, left uncared for, began to live on railway platforms. He travelled the length and breadth of India and spent three spells in government observation homes in Kolkata, Chennai and Hyderabad. He started his basic schooling when he was 11 years old, under Sarath Babu's care. Within a year and a half, he completed Class 7, passing with 1st division. He passed with distinction in Class 10 and 12 too. He went on to complete BTech and higher studies and is now a physics lecturer in a private college.

Sarath is an inspiration to all of us! We have a lot to learn from him and his children!
