Like all proud Indians and NRIs, we too, want to make India a better country. Even after the typically fierce “but India has a great history” retort, we look down embarrassed and helpless in terms of our rural youth being misguided and unemployed. The education system in rural India suffers both on poor infrastructure as well as an abysmal quality of education.A short clip above gives an overview of our work. Also there are related articles by Dr. Rishikesha T Krishnan, Director, IIM Indore. We have been very lucky to have had the stalwarts from the education &amp; social entrepreneurship sector (Professors from IIM Indore, Bangalore, Udaipur &amp; TISS; Caring Friends, Mumbai, Other NGO entrepreneurs like Vinayak Lohani) and tie-ups with institutions like Head-Held High &amp; Goonj Delhi) guide us through our journey of trying to bring around this paradigm shift. 
 We need your contribution to help the youth realize their dreams. Lets together give them our support and guidance and do our part in giving back to the society we feel proud to be a part of!SSES through its educational initiative SSISM empowers the rural youth with access to quality higher education and employment opportunities. It offers graduation courses with transportation to rural students from the interiors of Madhya Pradesh (70 KM radius). Free computer access education is provided to school children. Special focus is on girl education and parent counseling. Out of 1050 students; 70% are girls, few being university toppers. SSES provides placement &amp; entrepreneurship opportunities to students by exposing them to current industry needs every 6 months via industry visits, training, updated curriculum, vocational training etc. Spoken English classes from Head-Held High, Bangalore headed by CNN IBN Awardee aims to bridge the crucial communication gap that poses a big challenge of these students. 
 SSES target to impact minimum 10,000 direct beneficiaries per year. These include students, their families and all who wants to become self reliant.Since 2010; we have imparted courses &amp; training's to nearly 6000 people. A paradigm shift from being aloof to being aware and focused to parents encouraging their girls to study and become independent have been our key achievements. Some of the achievements are: 1050 total students, 60% girls from 200 villages, 4000+ villagers trained in the basics of computers, 10+ entrepreneurship projects, 14 university toppers, 3 university sports captain and 70+ placements in national and multi-national companies.SSISM alumnis being role models, girls making an exemplary mark by being independent and proving themselves, Emergence of local entrepreneurs. Girls who decide to stay in village are much sought after as teachers at primary and secondary schools, allied industries and occupations like dairy farming, retailing, etc. They are proving to be more aware and dedicated for their family occupation, like farming.

Empower rural youth for a brighter future

Disadvantaged students face many obstacles when trying to pursue an education. The expense to go to school combined with their parents expectations for their children to work and earn a living, means many discontinue their education. This leads to poor employment options in the future.In a country like India, where the majority of the population are youths, the overall effect of this problem multiplies. Societies progress and the economies growth rate both deteriorate as so many people are uneducated. 
 We have started an initiative to support bright but underprivileged students post the 10th grade to pursue further studies in literacy; leading to employment. We cover the cost of scholarships, books, and all skill training.Each student is carefully selected based upon academic performance and economic assessments. Our volunteers visit student’s homes to get a better understanding of their financial situation. As we have such a big network of volunteers covering a vast area, we can ensure that we reach as many students as possible. 
 Through our efforts and the support of others like you, more than 5000 students have received employment through Vidya Poshak and over 4000 students have reached the next level of literacy. Also, 60 free of cost rural book banks have been opened where students can borrow books and educational material.

Provide opportunities to deserving underprivileged students

In our country, there are hardly any facilities for physically challenged and orphan youth for their higher education and administrative career. For visually impaired and hearing impaired youth study material, teaching resources, technology, and other facilities are not available for higher education. Government and various non-governmental organizations do work for rehabilitation and welfare of these children but their focus is largely on children (age below 18 years) and welfare through providing alternative livelihood opportunities. Government and NGOs runs various shelter homes but the orphan children need to leave them once they become 18 years old. The government also provides relaxation and reservations for children who are differently-abled in job and education but the benefit hardly reaches the intended beneficiaries because most of them do not get the chance and necessary support for pursuing education beyond HSC.As a result of all this, thousands of youth who are orphan and/or are differently able, who have passed HSC exam and, in some cases, have also completed their graduation, do not have necessary support systems and resources to pursue higher education, are unable to become employable and are unable to compete with other youth from better social background. <ol><li>Deepstambh provides / will provide integrated long-term assistance &amp; support to selected youth through manobal project free residential training center for competitive examinations like UPSC, MPSC, Staff selection, Bank recruitment, etc. for a period of 1 to 3 years as per requirement of students.</li><li>Deepstambh has developed and is continuously developing appropriate and custom study material and curriculum which is useful for competitive examination.</li><li>For visually impaired and hearing impaired youth, Deepstambh has trained special trainers, counselors, and teachers.</li><li>Deepstambh provides technology training like usage of computer / Android mobile recorder, etc. and the necessary infrastructure is made available.</li><li>Special counseling sessions and workshops are arranged for their overall personality development and career guidance.</li><li>Deepstambh is working with youth for the last many years and has been trying to empower them through the provision of necessary support systems, guidance and appropriate training for competitive exams and for better livelihood opportunities. These programs of Deepstambh have provided very encouraging results in the last 7 years - 47 students with disability and 122 orphans, schedule tribes and schedule cast students have become government officers and have gained meaningful employment.</li></ol> We wish that thousands of less privileged youth from rural tribal areas, physically challenged &amp; orphan youth will get higher posts &amp; opportunities in Government examinations &amp; different fields of career. Having first-hand experience of all sufferings, they will take appropriate decisions &amp; implement them sensitively in their areas of work. Then only the dream of equality &amp; humanity will be in reality. With this, we want to change the thinking &amp; approach of society towards these youth, as they are human beings like us and can do anything. <ol><li>Students get a permanent source of income.</li><li>It’s a transformation not only for life of especially able, orphan youth but also in his family.</li><li>The student will also contribute to and inspire other deprived students.</li><li>The overall society &amp; system get sensitized and receives a positive message.</li></ol>

We have started a new fundraiser on Milaap (https://milaap.org/fundraisers/support-various-hospitals) since it was pointed out to us that foreign donors were facing challenges on donating through this link. Also, since we are a bunch of concerned citizens with day jobs, just like you, we continue to learn from challenges and adapt the best we can. Total money collected till date from this drive is 1.6 lakh (Give India) and 6.08 lakh on Milaap (https://milaap.org/fundraisers/support-various-hospitals). As we go along we will inform you about the money used and OCs installed with your support on the Milaap link (https://milaap.org/fundraisers/support-various-hospitals), please check for updates on the link or on our social media pages. Please direct your friends and acquaintances to the Milaap link only going forward.

We are closing this fundraiser, link for new fundraiser in description

Team Srijan Ka Sankalp delivered and installed Oxygen Concentrators in government hospitals and Covid care centers in several tier-2 and tier-3 cities around UP. The selfless volunteers covered a huge area and served hospitals in Lucknow, Sitapur, Orai, Jalaun, Ghatampur, Bahraich, and Bareilly. If you think you haven’t heard the names of some of those cities, it tells you that our effort is now influencing the rural hinterland of North India where supplies and media attention barely reach. The doctors and hospital in-charges have expressed their gratitude to our campaign, but our biggest achievement was to see our OCs get into use immediately and patients getting treated. Thank you to all our donors and supporters, and thanks to the real heroes – Srijan volunteers. Please keep spreading the word so that our campaign keeps reaching more people. <img src="https://images.milaap.org/milaap/image/upload/v1621323485/production/images/uploader_images/Sitapur_1621323484.jpg?format=jpg&amp;mode=max&amp;width=603" />

Today was a big day, more to come, please see update 2 !

Never before India in its recent history has seen resurgence of support from NGOs, Corporates and Individuals to all those who were affected directly or indirectly by COVID-19 pandemic last year. #SrijanKaSankalp too with its available resources and with the support and help from philanthropic people reached out to the poor people, #healthcare workers, truck drivers in the countryside and helped them in all possible ways not only to sustain their livelihood but also to protect them from Covid pandemic. It has been truly a lifetime experience for us. Our volunteers' overwhelming enthusiasm to reach out to the people rendered jobless because of the prolonged #lockdown in the country has been an amazing experience for all of us. I am happy to share with you all that our Srijan volunteers Without thinking about the risks associated with the pandemic, in the first six months since the outbreak of pandemic and subsequent lockdown reached out to more than 50,000 people in the States of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhatisgarh and Haryana providing them with the ration to eke out their living and also the safety kits against Covid pandemic. We are privileged to inform you all that Srijan Ka Sankalp's prime focus has been to play a key role in making the poor children of rural Bharat "shikshit" (educated), skilled and healthy through our `saksham bharat', `nipur bharat' and `swasth bharat' flagship campaigns. In the past two years we have adopted over two dozen villages in Bundelkhand region, primarily to educate village children through smart classes and making available other academic tools at their disposal. Our NGO in association with our sister concern `Quest for education' has also been imparting free of cost coachings to poor and talented students in the rural areas and we are happy to inform you that many of our students have made through various national level competitive examinations. Recently we kick started `Shiksha Ki Gaadi' drive to provide education and impart teachings to the poor students, children of villages who cannot afford to go for online education in absence of internet connectivity, computers, mobile phones and laptops. The `shiksha ki gaadi' equipped with smart tv and other academic tools chugs from one village to another village to provide education to poor kids in their villages in the vicinity of their homes. After a tremendous response to our first shiksha ki gaadi, we have recently launched another shiksha ki gaadi.  With classroom education continuing to remain elusive for the majority of students in the country, we also launched an online learning platform - isaksham (https://isaksham.org/) through which students from any part of the country are being tutored on different subjects, topics in various streams by our qualified faculties. isaksham (https://isaksham.org/) is a free of cost online education portal designed to teach students from standard one to 12. It has provisions to address queries of students on any of their classroom subjects. This online academic platform of Srijan has also received enthusiastic response.

No Girl Should Miss School Because of Her Period One machine. Three women. Thousands of girls who won't have to hide.Hi, I'm Anvi.In many villages of Bundelkhand, a girl's period still means missing school, using old cloth, and staying silent out of shame. Many families simply cannot afford sanitary pads, and in many villages the shops don't even sell them.I learned that a girl my age, just a few hundred kilometres away, could be sitting at home right now because she has no pad and no one to talk to. I couldn't stop thinking about it. So I decided to do something.With my parents' support, I am raising ₹10 lakh for Project Sakhi, an initiative by Srijan Ek Soch. The money will set up a sanitary pad manufacturing unit in Rath, District Hamirpur, Uttar Pradesh.What makes this specialThis isn't just about giving away pads. Three local women, called Srijan Sakhis, will be trained to make, pack and sell the pads. They will also go into schools and villages to talk openly about periods. Every pad made will do some good:<ul><li>Free pads for girls and women who can't afford them</li><li>Affordable pads sold in local markets, so the unit can keep running on its own</li><li>Awareness sessions in schools and villages to break the silence and the shame around periods</li></ul>Where your money goes (₹10 lakh)What AmountSanitary pad manufacturing machine &amp; installation₹7,00,000 Electrical work, facility &amp; basic setup₹2,00,000 Training of the three Srijan Sakhis ₹1,00,000 Total₹10,00,000A Mumbai donor has already committed ₹5 lakh to Project Sakhi. Your support will help get the machine installed and production started.Why this mattersA girl gets her dignity and stays in school. A rural woman gets a job and a skill. A family gets a pad they can afford. A whole village starts talking about something it has kept hidden for too long.Every rupee counts. ₹500 or ₹50,000, your gift helps a girl in Bundelkhand stop hiding.Please donate, and please share this with everyone you know.
