Stories of Change

Education

To address issues like poverty, population control, unemployment, and human rights, there is no more effective starting point than ensuring access to education for underprivileged children. Education not only equips these children with the tools for a secure future but also molds them into responsible citizens, both at the national and global levels. Despite the implementation of the Right to Education (RTE) Act in 2010, which mandated free and compulsory education for children aged 6-14, the educational journey for many children in the country has not progressed steadily even a decade later. Due to the factors like socio-economic circumstances of parents and inadequate understanding of the education among guardians, Sai Nath Shiksha Sewa Samiti sponsor the education of the underprivileged children with the help a donor and also initiate social awareness programmes to project the value of education system for the radical change.

Story 1

In my impoverished neighborhood, numerous parents fret over their children’s education. The relentless grip of poverty and adverse circumstances has kept us in a perpetual struggle to make ends meet. Many young girls have been unable to progress beyond the eighth grade. My father, who works as a tailor, found himself jobless for the past two years due to the pandemic. To support our family, my mother, a homemaker, had to take on a job as a maid. Like so many others, I was on the verge of dropping out of school. Without the invaluable scholarship I received, continuing my education would have been nearly impossible. My aspiration is to delve into the field of science, particularly Biotechnology, and extend a helping hand to young girls in my community, enabling them to complete their education.

Story 2

My father used to be in the business of selling vegetables, but when the pandemic hit, everything came to a standstill, and he had to stay at home.

There came a point where we could only afford to eat once a day to ensure we had enough food for the next day. Schools were also forced to close, and I was uncertain about whether I would ever get the chance to continue my studies. Then, one day, teacher visited our home and explained that they would now conduct classes at the village temple. Only a small group of 8-10 children would attend each session, and everyone had to wear masks.

During that time, I was on the verge of giving up, but that visit from my teacher and the commencement of these cluster classes became my ray of hope. Now, the school has reopened, my father has resumed his work, and I am putting in my utmost effort to pursue my dreams.

Livelyhood

More than a third of India’s population consists of young people, and they form a significant portion of the nation’s workforce. India, with its substantial youth population, has the potential to harness greater advantages from its demographic advantage if its young people are equipped with improved skills and employability. It is essential to guide and direct the potential of disadvantaged youth effectively to contribute to economic growth and the development of the nation.

Sai Nath Shiksha Sewa Samiti, through its Livelihood program, links unemployed or underemployed young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and communities with industries that have significant potential for revenue generation and job opportunities. This program targets the substantial youth population currently underutilized in the job market due to a lack of necessary qualifications and training. It seeks to enhance their skills, elevate their status, and integrate them into the nation’s progress. The Livelihood program is designed to support and align with the government’s Skill India initiative while also aligning with Sustainable Development goals.
