Centre for Social Responsibility and Leadership (CSRL)

Project Prabal, an initiative by the Centre for Social Responsibility and Leadership, is a programme designed exclusively for the children of Indian Jawans. It aims to provide crucial support to these students by offering a year of free residential coaching and mentoring to prepare for NEET/JEE exams. This comprehensive project encompasses boarding, food, coaching, medical care, and personality development. It not only transforms the careers of these students but also serves as a heartfelt gesture of gratitude towards the courageous protectors of our nation, who not only safeguard the borders but also actively assist in various adversities like disasters, floods, earthquakes, cyclones, and rescue operations. With approximately 25,000 military personnel having made the supreme sacrifice for the country, Prabal stands as a tribute and support to armed personnel, war heroes, and their families.

The Centre For Social Responsibility And Leadership (CSRL) runs the CSRL Super 30, a program that provides free residential coaching and mentorship to engineering aspirants for admission to prestigious institutions. This initiative, which began in 2009, now spans 29 units across India, benefitting over 1,000 students. The programme focuses on individualized mentoring, academic excellence, and holistic development. Beyond academics, it offers diverse training, fostering socially aware individuals. In addition, CSRL conducts "Remedial and Mentoring Classes" in collaboration with Numaligarh Refinery Ltd and the DPS Management Committee, Numaligarh, benefiting students from classes VIII to XII. These classes, held at two centres, provide foundational teaching in subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Math, and Biology, and advanced coaching for 11th and 12th graders. Over the last two sessions, around 500 students have benefited from this initiative.

The Centre For Social Responsibility And Leadership (CSRL), in partnership with the Petronet LNG Foundation, initiated the Motor Driving School project in October 2017 in Jammu & Kashmir. The project aims to provide motor driving training to 240 unemployed youth in Kashmir, enhancing their employability. The programme offers formal and professional training, focusing on teaching driving skills to youths in Srinagar. Eligible candidates from the Srinagar district, aged 18-30 and at least 8th-grade graduates from local or CBSE boards, have been selected. The training consists of eight batches, each with 30 candidates, spanning 30 days, including six days of theory classes, five days of simulator training, ten days of road practice, and an additional seven days of mechanical training. CSRL has successfully completed the training of three batches, and the next three batches of 30 students each are currently in progress.

The Centre For Social Responsibility And Leadership (CSRL), in collaboration with the Max India Foundation and with support from the 19 Artillery Brigade of the Indian Army, established a Drug De-Addiction Centre in Baramulla, Jammu & Kashmir, in 2016. This initiative addresses the pressing issue of drug abuse in the region, primarily among youth affected by political instability and high unemployment rates. The program focuses on psychological conditioning and counseling to help drug addicts overcome their dependencies. The objectives are to dissuade youth from drugs, integrate them into mainstream society, foster responsible citizenship, and promote a drug-free, healthy life. Through awareness activities, the centre aims to engage individuals in constructive roles in society. The collaborative effort between the Army and Max India Foundation has had a significant impact, with 2148 individuals receiving counseling and 782 successfully breaking free from drug addiction.
