Introduction

About the Community

• Geographical Location:– 3km from NH 8,Panchayat Labana, Block Amber, Dist.Jaipur(Rajasthan)

and agriculture

• Role of Satya Bharti School in the Village:– A very positive impact on village increase standard of education.Provide

• Participation in ‘Design for Giving’ School Contest:– It is realized by the community that addiction is a curse in society and it

spoils the life of many families and future of children. The community took active participation and involvement in the campaign for the cause.

We ‘Felt’:

Most of the people of village involve in agriculture and spend their life through daily wages. The culture of Alcoholism is increasing very rapidly but the wages are not increasing. Whatever they earn through hard work they spent most of the fractions in drinking and smoking. They are not giving ample money to their family and it will make their life very miserable but these drunken people do not care about themselves and follow the same wicked life style. Their these habits also spoiling life of their family. The students are mentally tortured in their home and undergone domestic violence. It will increase tension and stress among students. These people beat their wives and use abusive language.

We ‘Imagined’:If these problem is spreading its wings then one day it will ruin the whole society. There is Tobacco and Smoking soap in the every corner of the village and give bad impact upon the children. To begin a campaign which will raise voice against this social stigma and omit this curse from the society with the help of the community members by seeking their participation and greater involvement.

We ‘Did’:

We conducted a role and street play, a rally in around the village, one to one counseling to the effected group, effective use of Information, education and communication among the people.

Impact on Community:

• Students are now more motivated now.• Encouraged to take initiatives.• Can plan and implement.• Enhanced leadership and team spirit among the students.• Ignited the feeling of ownership among the students• There is now more association and bonding among students to

think innovatively and creatively.• It is now reflected that our students proved the theory of Bloom
