Andhra Pradesh doesn't have a full-fledged resource center for social welfare and social work sectors to serve their resource requirements, pertaining to relevant literature, research findings, training facilities, technical support systems and so on. Our Regional Resource Centre serves as a knowledge repository and learning center for the NGOs, academicians, social activists, donor organizations, policymakers, and others who are involved with the child sector. We are actively involved in Research, Training, Documentation, Publication, Dissemination of Information through Regional Resource Centre.

The center serves as a laboratory by providing the students of Social Work and other related disciplines an opportunity for training, placements and internship facilities to get an insight on child sector. Students from Bachelors stream to the Doctoral Research have all been benefited and got first hand experience in working with children living on streets and in other difficult circumstances.

A state-of-the-art regional level library has been developed to cater the research needs of social work, child development as well as social entrepreneur sectors. A total of 183 books were purchases in wide areas of subjects like Child Development, Human Rights, NGO Development, Social Work, Research, Child Psychology, Gender Development, Management and so on.

We enable our workforce to enliven their skills and capacities from time to time. Various staff members have attended Seminars, Workshops and Training Programmes in the areas of HIV/AIDS, Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection) Act 2000, Gender Sensitization, Counseling Skills, Child Psychology, Marketing Strategies, Organization Behaviors, Social Entrepreneurship, Design and Brand Communication, and so on.

Very frankly, to be admitted the Regional Resource Centre of HCHW is in the budding stage. The number of research studies taken up so far and those that are proposed in the project are infact likely to serve as eye-opener in terms of the conditions of children and the status of child rights in the state. The possibilities of these research studies to serve as a basis for further advocacy programmes of HCHW are quite significant. This may take a little time being in the initial stages but once taken up its full form may brings laurels to HCHW and help to a great extent in it’s advocacy and lobbying efforts
