Annexure
Application Form for XLRI Medal for Social Initiatives (Sponsored by State Bank of
India)
A. Name of Social Initiative: Daan Utsav (Joy of Giving week)
B. Name(s) of Applicant(s):
were treated as outcasts. Our efforts to spend time with them, understand their feelings and help
their cause were meant to motivate students and youth to come forward and gift their time for
this neglected segment.Secondly our initiative, Beneficiary-Benefactor collected funds for
differently abled sportspersons who are training to compete in the Paralympics.
G. Reasons for choice of the social problem(s):
Once again we believe that poverty is a stigma that has crippled the Indian society and more so
in Jamshedpur. Our efforts were meant to create a sustained awareness regarding that and
inculcate a sense of ownership among the affluent sections of the society to look after the
underprivileged ones. Also through our Beneficiary Benefactor program we were promoting the
education of young tribal kids and of differently abled sportspersons, which would go a long way
in making them responsible Indian citizens & contributing towards the nations growth.
Beneficiary-benefactor is unique in the sense it targeted differently abled sportspersons who
are training for Paralympics, a segment which no other initiative tagets.
H. List down other existing schemes (private sector and/or public sector) that deal with
the above social problem(s):
The Joy of giving Week is a nationwide initiative. But mostly it involves corporate houses. Our
initiative is unique that it encourages every strata of society to contribute their bit-right from
auto-rickshaw drivers to sweepers to students to shopkeepers to faculty. Other child adoption
initiatives are run by corporate houses including Mahindra Trustss Nanhi Kali.
When did actual implementation of the initiative commence? :
The actual implementation of the initiative commenced on the 1st of October & it is still ongoing
I. What was the most recent activity done by you in connection with the initiative? When
