It is located on half an acre plot of land and accommodates 250 girl-inmates in its 60-room facility. Uniquely managed, the entire Home is looked after by a single warden and four cooks man its kitchen.
According to Mr. Azam Ali, two girls from the Home completed the engineering degree and 12 others have completed their diplomas in engineering in the past. Both engineer girls are now employed. Besides these, two more inmates are studying B.Arch course in Malik Sandal Institute of Architecture in Vijayapura (earlier Bijapur).
