Sr. Clara Animottil CSJ
(Founder and Director)Sr. Clara is member of the congregation -Sisters of St. Joseph Of Chambery. Itarsi railway station is a big junction with more than 200 trains pass by daily to the north, east, west and south of our country due to this, a large number of children are found here. Her Frequent visit to Itarsi platform to pay hospitality to familiar people often struck me with children, unfamiliar, unnoticed, creating nonsense for others at the platform. Sr.Clara was disturbed and began to ask why these children? Why they are left with no one to care?. Familiarity with children began to search for these questions. There was a passion within me to become familiar with children who are at the platform. Thus in 1999 she took an initiative to work with these children in need of care and Protection which is became Jeevodaya
