Nirmaan Organization had a very impactful year 2018-19 as all the student chapters have been very eventful and engaging throughout the year. It encompassed operations in the fields of Education, Health, Participative Community Development, Women Empowerment, etc. which includes Tuitions to the underprivileged children, arranging Health Camps, Food Clothes distribution in the communities, stationery kit distribution at schools, celebrating events at schools and nearby communities, visits to the old-age homes and orphanages, etc.
Until now 11507 people have been benefited by various initiatives of different teams managing the student chapters.
Started with the aim to increase exposure and provide a platform to discuss and learn from the participating NGOs on various topics of relevance, the annual summit witnesses participation from both NGOs and student chapters of reputed colleges with similar issues and situations to handle. Manthan has led to the introduction of various new initiatives in our chapter over the past years, which in itself is indicative of its success.
Topics of great relevance in the current demographics like creating livelihood opportunities to preservation of cultural heritage were wholeheartedly discussed and debated upon. With participation from organizations with huge field experience, there was a lot to learn for the student chapter members.
