The Bhavishyajyothi event was inaugurated by Fr. Jais V Thomas. The Campaign was organized at St. Chavara Square. Bhavishyajyothi is a student initiative program to support underprivileged, economically backward, orphan, or single-parent children. Under this program, Kothanur and Narayanapura government schools and camping areas are covered. CSA volunteers performed dance, skit, and mime by depicting the theme of Bhavisyajyothi. Along with this, CSA volunteers organized food stalls at the open cafeteria and a gaming stall at St. Chavara Square in order to raise funds through which the profits made out of these stalls will be donated to Bhavisyajyothi. Day 2 of Bhavishya Jyothi 2023 is filled with more exciting activities. CSA volunteers performed a mime by depicting the theme of Bhavishya Jyothi 2023. The Mime performed by CSA volunteers created awareness among Jayantians about the true struggle of a rural kid in becoming a doctor by taking assistance from his landlord. The program's success is attributed to the dedication and hard work of volunteers who organize events such as solo singing performances and food and gaming stalls. The program's impact on the lives of children is evident in the reduced number of school dropouts and the opportunities it has provided for children to learn and grow. The primary aim of this program is to encourage children to continue their education and reduce the number of school dropouts. To achieve this goal, the program relies on the collection of funds from Jayantians. These funds are utilized to provide the children with various essential resources, including tuition fees, books, uniforms, and computer education. Additionally, the program also covers other follow-up expenses such as personality development workshops, health checkups, and other related costs. Volunteers performed group dance and group singing to gather an audience.
