March 15th to March 31st, May 1st to May 15th and from October 15th to November 15th. The state conducts a series of Sadhana camps exclusively for the sevadals who have volunteered to do Parthi Seva prior to the Parthi seva period every year in all the Sai districts of the state. The camps are organised separately for gents and mahila sevadals in each of the Sai districts in Tamilnadu. Objective of the Training / Sadhana Camps: To emphasise the importance of Parthi Seva. To explain the various service opportunities and requirements at different duty points and / or sectors. To elaborate the rules and regulations to be followed by the volunteers during the period of Parthi seva. To encourage the new devotees/ members/ youths to take part in the Parthi Seva. Observation: Around 70%-80% of the sevadals who attend the sadhana camps do enrol and participate in the Parthi Seva. Around 20%-30% of the sevadals are new but are briefed regarding the type of work, rules and regulations to be followed, discipline to be pursued during the period of seva. The newly trained sevadals should be positively embraced into our organisation as that would support in the growth of our organisation in the long run. As many of the old timers are unable to attend Parthi Seva due to their illness, ageing and family compulsions, we got to give the new comers opportunity to serve our Bhagwan at His abode. 4 Annual Report of Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations- Tamilnadu 2015-16 Together forever- A unique program for Mahilas: On 31st Ma , a poga etitled Togethe foee, desiged elusiel fo the Mahilas as oduted at Villupua.
