Programs :

Special children and their education

Being a special educator himself and invested significant amount of his life years to understand the special children and their educational and social needs, this area is very close to the heart of our founder Yogendra Singh. Social awareness in Rajasthan is significantly low in terms of children with special needs. Our focus is to create an ecosystem of educators, parents of special children and support groups which help them to live in a self-sufficient way and free from any discrimination and isolation. We have started with a small group of special children to make an impact on their life, hoping to gradually expand the numbers. Our efforts includes –

• Addressing educational and life skill needs of special children
• Developing special educators to fill the void
• Provide medical assistance by organizing medical camps
• General check-up, diagnosis and hearing aid distribution for Hearing Impaired
• Inclusiveness of special children among society
• Surveys and awareness campaings for family of special children

 

Education, social welfare and women empowerment

 

• Comprehensive promotion and publication work in the domain of education

While working in education sector (especially in special education and Rajasthani language) we have realized that more efforts needed to promote and publish content for certain specific subjects and languages. We feel the need of promoting these often ignored/ less funded areas.

• Organze campaigns for women empowerment & education and children development
• Socially and culturally women has been depried of respect, equality and opportunities for the ages. We organize campaingns to create awareness among different sections of society and assist women to achieve their dreams. Child development is another area where the lack of basic awareness and information has impacted their development and well-being. We continuously reach out to masses to educate them through campaings and rallys.
• Support social welfare schemes
• There are various social welfare schemes available through government and non-government organizations. Our motive is to make the target group aware of such schemes and provide them assistance and support to use these scheme for their welfare.
• Create awareness in society for health and well being
• The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines health as ‘a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’. Our motive is to aware and assist people in leading a healthy life. We organize blood donation camps, seminars and workshops to achieve our goal.

 

Environment protection

Human beings as a most intelligent and advanced specie has manipulated the environment and animal species in an unpredecent way in last 200 years. The risks of global warming and unbalanced ecosystem is paramount and different organizations and people all over the world are raising their voices on it. We identify this as an essential area where we can create awareness among rural population who can produce small but important impact on restoration of ecological balance. We believe children can alter future better than adults and inculcating sense of empathy towards animals and environment will make a difference in future.

 

Rajasthani language

As a language ‘Rajasthani’ has its literary roots of more than 1500 years, however, still at the national level recogniztion is very low. Our focus is to promote Rajasthani as a language and not mere a dialect. Rajasthan is known as it’s golden value in India’s tourism industry. The native culture and heritage is the reason every year millions of tourists visit rajasthan. We will continuously promote this cultural and heritage value to the betterment of people associated with the tourism industry.
