| Till
now, JAGARAN has provided various types of aids to nearly 300 needy
and meritorious students.There is no hard and first rule in JAGARAN,
no boundary of its activities. So, even though at the beginning, it
was primarily focused on supporting our beneficiaries financially,
now with more involvement and more suggestions from Members
(JAGARANITES), JAGARAN stands for Total Improvement. So,
Environmental-Awareness, Self-Awareness like Switching Off the
street-lights in day-time, Closing the road-side taps when water is
not being used, Giving seats to Elder-persons in buses etc – All
things are also included in JAGARAN activities! It is needless to
say that ‘INVOLVEMENT’ is the key word. With around 350 contributors
and 300 beneficiaries, i.e. with around 350+300=650 Members
(according to the finance tracker), the mental involvement should
have been already around 2000 people (assuming 3-4 members in every
member’s family). The ongoing projects of JAGARAN
are enlisted as follows: |
