Clarity….

Festive season has begun in Gujarat and Garba (the Gujarati dance form) is all around.
Keeping the same spirit, a Garba event was organised where 125+ sisters took part with all their heart. It started with a beautiful sharing by Kishan bhai from TCS, explaining the importance of literacy and how 50-hrs teaching program by TCS has changed life of thousands of women across India. We are soon starting this education program for our sisters in all centres of Paryavaran Mitra. Followed it was just fun and masti. Prizes were there for best costume, best Garba dancer etc. to encourage them. It was mesmerizing to witness the joy on their faces. The event ended well with delicious food served to them.
The biggest risk in exponential expansion in organisation, is the chance of losing clarity of the main vision. To ensure our new appointed team members are rightly aligned to the cause and bigger picture, this fortnight was dedicated to assign specific roles and responsibilities to each of them after their orientation last fortnight. Some of them also participated in training program at Ahmedabad Management Association.
We also took part in general camp at Manav Jatan centre, where doctors from SMS hospital examined 250+ community members, gave them the necessary medicine and referred the serious ones to the hospital.
On business model aspect, we are happy to share that we have got into collaboration with Meadows, Shantigram, an Adani township, for their complete dry waste management along with few more hotels.
It was very proud moment for me to have Sqn .Ldr. Sanjay Deshmukh Sir visiting us, the officer who shaped me into a person who i am today, in my engineering days.
So, as always, it was meaningful fortnight with good learning curve.
