for sustaining their family, remaining
unmarried even after an age of 25 years.

people belonging to the criss-cross of the

Educational institutions for giving high-class

II SCOPE OF THE PROJECTS
1. Womens Empowerment and Rehabilitation.
One of the main aims of the MANAVSEVA LOKKALYAN
MAHASANGH is to Rehabilitate and empower poor
women who are being exploited physically
and mentally due to lack of sustainable income.
The main problems suffered by Women are as
mentioned in section I above.
16
The projects proposed are Taluka level job
training centers and production centers with
hostels and crèches. This will aim at the
betterment of farmers engaged in cotton and
sugar cane cultivation by providing better price
for their product directly, without any profit
motive.
17
2. Asset Creation Project for the
Asset-less Category of People.
It is a well-found fact that the reason for
remaining under-developed is the lack of assets
from which a sustainable income can be generated.
The trust understands this crucial factor and
has decided to devise a suitable project
for helping the poor to create assets of their
own for generating sustainable income from it.
In brief the project is as follows-
18
The Trust will select hardworking poor and urge
them to acquire some land from which they may
generate income to sustain their life and
repay the assistance provided by the Trust
without charging any type of interest.
For example if any one wishes to work in a rubber
estate by purchasing it, the trust will extend
its assistance to purchase the land stipulating
conditions and limits under necessary permission
from concerned authorities like Reserve Bank of
India and urge them to work in the estate and
repay the debt to the trust and make the assets
his own.
19
We are sure that this novel project will help a
lot of poor people to acquire some land as his
own and develop himself in future. Unemployment
is yet another vesting problem of the lower
class people.
The present day educational systems do not
provide chances for the poor to grab better
education free of cost. Because of this, they
cannot train themselves to capture better
employment opportunities.
20
The present day self employment program namely
the PMRY is not capable of giving employment
and sustainable income to the poor within a
specific time frame because the annual number
of loan facilities allowed to the unemployed
for favorites of the Bank managers. As such the
employment opportunities provided by a bank of
the poor of an area is four or five, hence, for
making employment opportunities for100 people
it will take twenty to twenty five years.
One may assume how much time it will take for
making employment opportunist for a particular
number of people. Considering this fact the
officers of the Trust have resolved to give
employment opportunities to 1,000 families.
21
3. Super Specialty Hospital coupled with
Medical College on Global basis.
Donations grabbed by private managements of
medical and engineering colleges for admission
currently are used for their developments.
At MANAVSEVA LOKKALYAN MAHASANGH it has been
resolved to provide chances for poor students
to get admission in our regional Medical Colleges
purely on the basis of merit and backwardness
in their economic conditions.
22
The treatment at these Super Specialty Medical
college hospitals will also be very reasonable
compared to other super specialty hospitals
anywhere in the world. Faculty and medical
staff will also be of the highest level. There
shall be rehabilitation section for the people
of referred category along with the Medical
College in separate premises.
23
4. Taluka level rehabilitation centre for
Beggars. Street Children Mentally
retarded. Senior Citizen, etc.
It is another major objective of the Trust to
rehabilitate Beggars, Street Children, Mentally
Retarded, age old people etc. At present the
Temple streets, places of festivals etc are
teemed with beggars bearing contagious diseases
seek alarms which causes frustration to the
people who visit these areas. There are rules
to prevent this menace. However, without pointing
a source for livelihood, it cannot be thwarted
by any authority effectively. Considering this
the Trust plans to set up a rehabilitation centre
for providing medical treatment, food, shelter
and employment till their optional end.
24
Mentally retarded people are yet another section
of human-beings who need sympathy and love.
They need love sympathy, care, food and
consolation. And this is what the Trust is
reluctant to give to them. It treats them as
cursed and wretched. This attitude needs to be
changed. The Trust has very effective project
planning to make their life changed in the best
possible way. This is also the case of age-old
people for whom there are no one to take care.
The Trust will rehabilitate them with treatment,
food, entertainment, shelter and consolation.
25
5. First ever project to discourage female
feticide from the stage of conception to
employment and marriage.
This is one of the Dream projects of the Trust.
It is very alarming that the nation loses half
a million female children every year. Ultimately
there is no other serious loss than this to the
nation. Parents kill their own children just for
fear of dowry that they may be liable to pay
when they grow up. Thus the pseudo love parents
show to their children. A sin to be looked upon
with seriousness.
26
When one realize that a child born from their own
blood will cause financial erosion, they are
ready to kill their own child. This raises a
question whether they love their own child or
the money they have accumulated almost sometimes
illegally. This made the workersof the Trust to
think that this is the greatest national loss.
There will be talented scientists like Marie
Curie, reformers like Hellen Keller,
Administrators like Indira Gandhi Margeret
Thatcher and writer like Pearl S Beck and so
on. Considering this, the Trust has resolved to
set up a project to depose the unwanted female
child to the Trust very confidentially and bring
them up to the betterment of the national goals
and saving the precious life of the child
27
6. Womens Educational Institutions.
If you educate a man one man is educated, if you
educate one woman indirectly all the family
members are educated. Hence womans education
is the need for the development of our nation.
Despite the ancestral way of Indian Education,
which then was a selfless service for the
betterment of human generations, to-day it has
turned to be purely an industrial product. So
the inputs supplied to the educational process
needed to generate income indiscriminately. This
caused denial of chances to those who cannot
bring in profit. Those deprived are only the
poor bright students.
28
A second effect of this resulted in concentrating
the education file in the hands of the profit
motive industrialists who commonly lack
sympathy and humanitarian feelings. Before
Governments moving towards this side, they were
to ensure a sustainable and sufficient income
for all poor to cater to the needs of higher
expenses in higher education. This they could not
do and left the poor who come to 95 of the
total population, to be deprived of access to
better education to their bright students.
29
Thus the Governments have become helpless in
economic and social fields to safeguard the
interest of the poorer sections of our Trust.
This necessitates the NGOs to organize these
sections of our Trust to cater their needs and
aspirations. This is the general background of
our concepts.
Now the latest innovative concept in school level
education is establishment of International
Schools. This gives chances to excel the
standards of even the best existing school
standards. This is feared to make deep cleavage
in the school level education. This will again
divide the Trust into an economically privileged
and underprivileged class in future.
30
Ultimately it may lead to a situation where the
most brilliant brains of our Youth being
discarded, due to this particular economic and
social atmosphere.
Establishment and tie-ups with world class
schools for the poor those who cannot offer
costly requirements of present day international
schools will definitely cater to the needs of
bright poor students at regional and national
level. The students who come out of our world
class schools will be absorbed by their higher
educational Institutions and Enterprises. This
justifies the prospects of our project to
establish education Institutions.
31
By establishing the above mentioned project, it
is sure that they can effectively address some
of vesting and crucial problems the state
is facing and large mass of the Trust suffer
from time immemorial. In the said spheres, the
role of Government is limited and NGOs are the
best alternative.
