Jan Seva Sansthan- The Road Ahead

Date: 21^st July, 2011

We had our first official meeting with swami ji of Jan Seva Sansthan. We made some propositions as to in which fields can we help them perform better being management students. He listened to our proposals patiently.

Our proposals included helping them manage their accounts, helping them in other documentations related to the organisation. But he emphasized on this organisation being more like a family and offered us to provide basic domestic help. He also mentioned that we can also teach the children in the organisation on the weekends as in to help them develop on their weaker areas. We agreed to help the students in their vocational courses and also computer learning.

While talking about the organisation, Swami Ji mentioned that except for the children who live in the sansthan, around 290 children come there from the community. They are offered education, food and other basic needs till they stay there before returning to their homes in Bus service provided by the organisation. Thus we offered for providing counselling to the parents of the students who play a vital role in the development of their child. Swami Ji was impressed with the Idea and agreed upon taking this initiative ahead.

Then we also discussed about the development of the child in this organisation. A child can be assessed on the basis of his/her social development using various parameters. We are basically concerned about the factors which are tangible and can show a child’s personality development distinctly. Swami Ji seemed really interested in this analysis as we offered to provide information about the growth in a child’s social behaviour and development.

So this all sums up to our focus being on following points:

1. Providing help on the educational front so as to improve on child’s weaker areas.

2. Carrying out vocational training which helps in personality development.

3. Visiting community houses to provide counselling to ward’s parents.

4. Preparing analysis on Social Development of the child using various parameters.

Keenly looking forward to challenges and opportunities ahead.
