recalling 2014
2014 was the year of dreaming big. We focussed on strengthening and
forging a lot of partnerships and commit ourselves towards expansion
for enhancing accessibility in under-served communities of north-west
Delhi and sohna block, Haryana.
Dr. Kiran BediFounder Member
Navjyoti India Foundation has completed 27 years of existence and the organization is still serving the society with the same enthusiasm, dedication and altruism. It has grown manifold with experience in all forms and has evolved in all spectrums. The journey is diverse yet inclusive, where all are coming together in a synergistic way. We strive to build and improve sustainable practices in our work in all the areas. Launch of Navjyoti Bal (Child) and Yuva (Youth) Gurukul is one such initiative. Navjyoti added another feather to its cap by being accredited with Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) and Give India.
As we march ahead in our journey, I would like to thank all our donors, volunteers and well-wishers for playing a vital role by supporting us in our vision to challenge the socio-economic inequalities, where the goal of self-reliance for all becomes a reality. I extend my congratulations to the staff members who are passionately engaged in community service. I am also grateful to the General Body, Governing Board, Project Board and Advisory Board for all the helpful and affirmative support they have provided us.
Neetu Sharma JoshiExecutive Director
Every day at Navjyoti opens up tremendous learning opportunities for each one of us. We have often seen that the more we reach to our set goals, there are more challenging goals waiting for us to be accomplished. This is what makes our work so joyful, satisfying and enriching.
We began 2014 with strengthening our existing programs. A lot of new initiatives were undertaken as a result of lessons learnt while executing our programs in order to make them more relevant and need-based. English foundation course along with abacus and vedic maths were also introduced for children in the Child Education Program to promote brain development and love for mathematics. The Program also strengthened its personal development program by focussing more on yoga, sanskrit and other hobby classes in various skills.
Similarly, for the Skill Upgradation Program, more professional courses with industry partners were identified and introduced such as VLCC, NIIT Foundation and Sir Chhotu Ram Polytechnic to name a few. Our Community Development Program also took a leap when the organisation committed itself towards Swachh and Sakshar Bharat Campaigns in north-west parts of Delhi and rural villages of Sohna block, Haryana. Some very ambitious projects were envisioned which would be carried forward in the coming year. Harit Aravali was one such project which has been conceived to save the Aravali Range in Sohna Region.
The annual report for the year 2014-2015, presents all these initiatives and much more.
All these efforts would not have been possible without the support and trust of all our well-wishers, donors and supporters. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each one of them and look forward to an enduring association and continue to create a meaningful impact.

A journey of leading a student university
My name is Tonika and I’m the Registrar of a community-based
Student University at Navjyoti called the Bal Gurukul. At the age
of 14, when I offered to lead a student university, somewhere I
knew that this was my calling. When Gurukul began in 2013, I
was accompanied by a handful of head of departments and
teachers, all aged between 10 to 15 years. As part of the
outreach program, we volunteered to reach out to over 1000
under-served children in the our local community and teach
them in areas of education, skills, sports and yoga. Our
outreach team expanded exponentially and we have close to
875 centres, reaching out to more than 5000 children in the
community on daily basis.
I enjoy my role as a communicator and reaching out to educate
many children in need just like me. My responsibility as a
Registrar inspires me to serve as part of my local community.

Always ready to learn
My life took a u-turn as I got associated with Navjyoti. As I was
growing up as a youth, I used to stammer while conversing
daily. Lack of ability to speak English and confused in choosing
the right career as per my liking, I was frustrated with life. It
was then my sister told me about Navjyoti Community College
and its skill courses on offer. After my initial visit to Navjyoti, I
enrolled myself in Accounting-Tally ERP 9.0 course. He began
enjoying the curriculum and simply admired the teaching style
of my course mentor. Simultaneously I started volunteering at
the college and soon started teaching the children of the local
community.
I thank Navjyoti for giving me this opportunity to learn more
about various accounting techniques. As part of the English
speaking classes in the curriculum, I got to learn and speak
almost fluent English overcoming my stammering problem.

When courage met hope
I used to be a fearful woman, very unsure of my life when I lost
my husband. Afraid of challenges, I wanted to secure future for
my daughter and son. Opportunely, I was a member of a self-
help group operating under the assistance of Navjyoti India
Foundation. I was an active member of the group and was
handling my group as its Treasurer. At that time, I was also
counseled about the stitching course being run by Navjyoti and
later started attending the classes under project ‘Unnati’. The
course fueled a different level of confidence in me. I left my
shackles behind and ascended as an empowered person. I’m
the only earning member in my family with no support of male
member. After successfully completing my stitching course, I’m
now self-employed and run a cloth shop. With my earnings, I’m
able to support education of my children. I always encourage
my daughter who is a part of Navjyoti Bal Gurukul project to
give back to her community.

challenges and lessons learnt at projects
Challenge: Timely identification of Project Sites
Ghamroj village in Sohna block, Haryana was identified as a site for construction of watershed management structures after due approval from the agencies and Panchayat. The project was funded by ‘The Federal Republic of Germany’. However, after the approval, the Panchayat disagreed and requested us to change the project site in view that the Haryana Government also had planned a similar project on the same location. Looking at the situation, we immediately changed the project site from Ghamroj village to Hariyahera village with similar terrain at the foothills of the Aravalli hills. The project was successfully completed.
Lesson Learnt: A written permission for all our community
projects must also be obtained from the DC Office even if it’s
a Panchayat land to avoid major obstacles.
Challenge: Adapting curriculum as per the community need:
A 3 months course on the youth leadership was designed for
the youth in the villages of Sohna block, Haryana to inculcate
leadership skills and motivate them to contribute in their
society. During the implementation of the course, we found
that the youth were not interested in a long-term course as
their attention span was less and had multitude of daily
activities in hand. Hence they were not regular in the course.
Lesson Learnt: Curriculum was revised based on the needs,
interests and time availability of the youth in areas such as
natural resource management, leadership, crime prevention,
socio-economic activities and life skills.
