DISCC
The abbreviation DISCC stands for DEVA International Society for Child Care.
Founded in Varanasi in 1991 by Dr Tulsi, DISCC is dedicated to transforming the lives of the most disadvantaged children and their families.
Registered NGO
DISCC has a statute of humanitarian Non Governmental Organization (NGO), accepted and registered with the Indian government in 1991, with an FCRA Number allowing foreign funds. We maintain annual financial audits for accreditation.
Our Mission
Our principal objective is to help the most disadvantaged children and their families. Our actions are aimed at several domains - medical, psychological, educational and social.
Humanitarian Focus
DISCC does not set any geographic or ethnic limits. Its motivation is purely humanitarian, excluding any political or religious motivation or interest.
Comprehensive Care
Since its opening, seven programs have been created to care for the needs of the most disadvantaged families and staff. These projects constitute a coherent organization for this small community of about 500 people.
Vast Impact
In spite of very limited resources, DISCC has come to the aid of almost 20,000 people - children, handicapped individuals, leprosy victims, and those who are among the most disadvantaged in Indian society.
DEVA Center
Activities to help disadvantaged children started in 1991
Dr Tulsi's activities started with the opening of the first center for the rehabilitation of mentally handicapped children in Uttar Pradesh. At the same time, Dr Tulsi opened a center for psychological counseling for the families.
This center integrates occidental psychological methods, such as behaviorism, with oriental methods, such as yoga and singing. These marginalized children do not have the same ability to adjust as other children of their age.
Since its opening, the center has treated and followed up on 12,000 children and their families.
