Their avocation is fishing in the deep and dreaded sea by using their boats for their livelihood .Unfortunately they are victimized often with sea storm causing ` loss of lives and thereby Orphaned their family. Children often supplement to the family income indulging in drug, criminal activities etc in the adjoining places of Puri. In order facilitate the educational need of the children of these marginalized families,Usthi Foundation initiated the Penthakata Project dates back to the year 1992 with a donation from Swiss Air, the national airline during celebration of their 60th anniversary.
