About Seva Sahayog

Seva Sahayog (SS) is an initiative which aims at strengthening and building capacity within high impact Indian Voluntary Organization by productively engaging socially responsible individuals, groups and corporate community. It aims at building a network within India and around the world which will be a pool of resources with financial strength, knowledge, commitment and vision to transform India. The NGOs in Seva Sahayog network are those, who have demonstrated a sound and robust record in grassroots work, but lack resources such as technology, finance and human resources.

Seva Sahayog is thus powered with a unique skill set of deep understanding of grass roots realities and a clear vision of the role corporate India can play to support community initiatives. SS is largely a volunteer-run organization with adequate professional staff backup and well-equipped office set up centrally located in Pune city. SS has over 400 registered volunteers. The parent organization of SS, Sewa International is registered as a Public Trust and is eligible to receive foreign donations FCRA and its donors get tax-exemption benefit under Sec 80-G of Income tax Act.

Towards Creating Countless Smiles About School Kit

We all have experienced the joy of having new School Bag, Books, Pencil box etc on the very first day of the school. With the School Kit Program we hope to create the same moment of happiness for the underprivileged childrens in the society Seva Sahayog "School Kit" drive aims at bringing SMILES to children as they climb up to the next stage of learning. For last 4 years, SS have been successfully running School kit drive to gift a School Kit to school-children from economically weaker sections of the society. The school kit is assorted set of materials such as school bags, notebooks, pencil boxes, drawing book, crayons etc. The kits are distributed to children from slums, schools, and education-support-centers run by NGOs in and around Pune. Some of the NGOs partnering with us in this initiative are: Ekal Vidalaya Foundation, Kotwal wadi Trust, Surajya Prakalp, Chaitanya Mahila Mandal and Rashtriya Sarvangin Gram Vikas Sanstha etc. Around 100+ NGOs are benefitted this year and around 5000+ software professionals from 100 companies like Infosys, KPIT, BMC Software and Eaton are associated with us as coordinators. Last year, we were able to bring smile on 26000 childrens faces and this year we have reached to 30000 children. With the support from all, this year we are able to provide educational aid also like Blackboard, laboratory instrument, educational CDs and Maps etc.

FUNCTIONING OF SCHOOL KIT ASSEMBLY

Seva Sahayog volunteers had visited few financially limited schools, where the students lack the infrastructure to study. As per the survey conducted, most of the students can't afford the basic things needed for their education. The reasons were many; parents being away from the children, virtually unemployed parents, single parents with a financial crisis, children without parents, family below poverty line etc. SS volunteers had discussions with teachers and volunteers of VOs working in slums and came up with a list of basic requirements under the School Kit Program. After explaining the detailed plan of this program to the VO persons, they responded enthusiastically, and we quote: "This is going to be the best help at this moment for these children and we will cooperate whole heartedly to make this activity a big success". SS through its strong tie-ups with NGOs and good sponsors has made a concrete plan to initiate the School Kit Program and aid these schools.

Volunteers Experience
I came to know about this event through one of my colleague. I had missed out first meet of May and after that I came to most of the assembly. When I saw a gentlemen of 75 years old and a kid of 3 year old came for the same cause, who might have different understanding for the same. But at the end of day they were doing some good. As I got to know more about the Seva Sahayog, I came up with friends and colleagues. I wanted to do some good for the society, but to be honest never quite got around to it, the reason for that to be honest was that I never found an appropriate platform to do so, but what better medium could I have found then helping kids, it feels good to help them out. The other fascinating experience that I had there was to see that people from every corner of the society despite different class and age came together for this cause. Seva Sahayog has really accomplished quite something here by bringing in the people from the society to give something back to the society.

Mayuri, my younger sister, and I were thinking of going to some NGOs to spend time with the kids thus I came to know about Seva Sahayog Foundation. On Sunday when we went to BAL SHIKSHAN MANDIR, where the team works, there were already many people working for assembly of school kits. We needed hardly any time to gel with friendly team. For next 3 weeks of assembly, we could enjoy the feeling of doing something for others. Quality of every kit was extensively checked before packing the stuff. With all the fun we could have by cheering up each other for the tasks completed, by singing motivating songs as a break in between, having lunch together. Overall a Great Experience!!! Will love to work as volunteer for each drive henceforth :)

Manasi Deshpande(Employee at Delta Embedded)

I have been with Seva Sahayog School Kit Drive Program from last year, this program has provided immense help to underprivileged children by bringing smiles on their faces. School kit has helped these children to climb the next ladder to success by providing support in form of school kit. I am very thankful to whole Seva team and wish them great future ahead by progressing in these kind of initiatives always.

Usha Pillai (President IDEA Foundation)

It's an amazing initiative. By taking part in the assembly and distribution of the kits, i could see and be a part of it. Also being part of the process made be more aware that it's not just about donating money but also about giving the needy students what they lack for getting educated. Looking forward for the next year as well Hats Off to Seva Sahayog.... Cheers!!!
