Most organisations ask you to trust a report. Velugu lets you look — at the campus, and at the accounts.
Our classrooms, dining hall, vocational workshop, corridors, playground and grounds are covered by cameras, and the live feed is open to the public — the same footage our own management watches. No camera is pointed at a bathroom, a changing area, a sleeping bay in use or the sick room. The dignity of the people who live here is not negotiable.

Watch LiveOur recorders use Hikvision software, which needs a small browser plug in and Internet Explorer compatibility mode in Microsoft Edge on a Windows computer. The setup takes about five minutes, once.
Need help? info@veluguservices.org or +91 94405 85285. The live view currently requires Edge on Windows — it does not run on phones, Chrome or Mac.
Velugu maintains its accounts scrupulously and transparently. They are audited every year and published here. Any donor may inspect our records. If a document you need is not on this page, write to us and we will send it.

Yes. Completely. No admission fee, no tuition fee, no hostel fee, no food charge and no medical charge. No family has ever paid us for a service. Our costs are met entirely by donations.
Children from the age of three with intellectual disability, deafness or hearing impairment, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, autism, microcephaly or multiple disabilities. We never turn away a child because of family income.
Bring the child's Aadhaar card, the disability certificate if you have one, and any medical records. If you do not have a disability certificate, we will help you obtain one.
Yes. Day students receive free food, free clothing and free transport to and from school.
Elderly single women, mostly widows, who have no family able or willing to support them. Please contact the office.
Yes. Velugu is registered under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act, so Indian taxpayers may claim 50 per cent of the donated amount as a deduction, subject to the limits in the Act. Form 10BE is issued after the end of the financial year.
Without a PAN we cannot report the donation to the Income Tax Department, and without that report you cannot claim the deduction.
Yes. Velugu holds a valid FCRA registration. Foreign contributions are received in our designated FCRA account at State Bank of India, New Delhi Main Branch. Foreign contributions do not attract Indian tax benefits.
Food, clothing, healthcare, teaching and learning aids, hearing aids, rehabilitation devices, staff salaries, housekeeping and equipment. The money converts into these things almost immediately, because our reserves are small.
Yes to both — we would like you to. Please write or call at least two days ahead. Meeting a sponsored child is arranged with the agreement of the child's family.
Both are open to anyone. That is how sure we are of the work.
