Deeply concerned of theplight of the women, Mr.Kempaiah pleaded hisinability to ameliorate the hardship of these womenthrough official methods. However, he suggested avoluntary approach to the problem, which wasstrongly endorsed by Dr.Rajkumar. This resulted inthe formation of Shakthidhama, a women’srehabilitation centre with Mrs.ParvathammaRajkumar as the president of the organization. Apiece of land in the Mysore City was acquired andthe Buildings of Shakthidhama were constructed• PROJECT’S ACTIVITIES Work as a therapy: Work in Shakthi Dhama isconceived as a therapy.
