    Introduction

    Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is becoming an increasingly importantactivity to businesses nationally and internationally. As globalisation accelerates

    and large corporations serve as global providers, these corporations have

    progressively recognised the

    benefits of providing CSR programs in their various locations. CSR activities are

    now being undertaken throughout the globe.

    The term is often used interchangeably for other terms such as Corporate

    Citizenship and is also linked to the concept of Triple Bottom Line Reporting

    (TBL), which is used as a framework for measuring an organisations

    performance against economic, social and environmental parameters.

    The rationale for CSR has been articulated in a number of ways. In essence it is

    about building sustainable businesses, which need healthy economies, markets

    and communities.

    The key drivers for CSR are:

    Enlightened self-interest - creating a synergy of ethics, a cohesive society

    and a sustainable global economy where markets, labour and communities are

    able to function well together.

    Social investment - contributing to physical infrastructure and social capital isincreasingly seen as a necessary part of doing business.

    Transparency and trust - business has low ratings of trust in public

    perception.

    There is increasing expectation that companies will be more open, more

    accountable and be prepared to report publicly on their performance in social and

    environmental arenas

    Increased public expectations of business - globally companies are

    expected to do more than merely provide jobs and contribute to the economy

    through taxes and employment.

    Corporate social responsibility is represented by the contributions undertaken by

    companies to society through its core business activities, its social investment

    and philanthropy programmes and its engagement in public policy. In recent

    years CSR has become a fundamental business practice and has gained much

    attention from chief executives, chairmen, boards of directors and executive

    management teams of larger international companies. They understand that a

    strong CSR program is an essential element in achieving good business practices

    Madhya Pradesh Association for the Blind

    (Late Sri Louis Braille)4th Jan, 1809- 6th Jan, 1852

    Louis Braille (January 4, 1809 January 6, 1852) was the inventor ofBraille a

    worldwide system used by blind and visually impaired people for reading and

    writing. Braille is read by passing the fingers over characters made up of an

    arrangement of one to six embossed points. It has been adapted to almost everyknown language.

    At the age of 10, Braille earned a scholarship to the National Institute for the Blind

    Youth in Paris one of the first of its kind in the world. However, the conditions in

    the school were not notably better. Louis was served stale bread and water, and

    students were sometimes abused or locked up as a form of punishment.

    Braille, a bright and creative student, became a talented cellist and organist in his

    time at the school, playing the organ for churches all over France.

    At the school, the children were taught basic craftsman skills and simple trades.

    They were also taught how to read by feeling raised letters . However, becausethe raised letters were made using paper pressed against copper wire, the

    students never learned to write. Another disadvantage was that the letters

    weighed a lot and whenever people published books using this system, they put

    together a book with multiple stories in one in order to save money. This made

    the books sometimes weigh over a hundred pounds.The school had just 3 books,

    all of which Louis had read.

    In 1821, Charles Barbier, a former Captain in the French Army, visited the school.

    Barbier shared his invention called "night writing", a code of 12 raised dots and a

    number of dashes that let soldiers share top-secret information on the battlefield

    without having to speak. The code was too difficult for Louis to understand and helater changed the number of raised dots to 6 to form what we today call Braille.

    The same year, Louis Braille began inventing his raised-dot system with his

    father's stitching awl, the same implement with which he had blinded himself,

    finishing at age 15, in 1824. Inspwered by the wooden dice his father gave to him,

    his system used only six dots and corresponded to letters, whereas Barbier's

    used 12. The six-dot system allowed the recognition of letters with a single

    fingertip apprehending all the dots at once, requiring no movement or

    repositioning which slowed recognition in systems requiring more dots. These

    dots consisted of patterns in order to keep the system easy to learn. The Braille

    system also offered numerous benefits over Hay's raised letter method, the

    most notable being the ability to both read and write an alphabet. Another very

    notable benefit is that because they were dots just slightly raised, there was asignificant difference in make up.

    Braille later extended his system to include notation formathematics and music.

    In 1829, he published the first book in Braille, entitled Method of Writing Words,

    Music, and Plain Songs by Means of Dots, for Use by the Blind and Arranged for

    Them. In 1839 he published details of a method he had developed for

    communication with sighted people, using patterns of dots to approximate the

    shape of printed symbols. With his friend Pierre Foucault, he went on to develop

    a machine to speed up the somewhat cumbersome system.

    Braille became a well-respected teacher at the Institute. Although he was admiredand respected by his pupils, his writing system was not taught at the Institute

    during his lifetime. The air at the institute was foul and he died in Paris

    oftuberculosis in 1852 at the age of 43; his body was disinterred in 1952 (the

    centenary of his death) and honored with re-interment in the Panthon in Paris.

    His system was finally officially recognized in France two years after his death, in

    1854.

    There is a growing desire among the youth in India to volunteer their time and talent for

    community development. But most of them are not currently involved in volunteering

    work because of three major reasons:

    1. Not knowing where to start.

    2. The fear that it may be too much of responsibility.3. Concern that it cannot be done with their limited time availability.

    -when you see blind children crossing the road.

    -when you see deaf and blind people trying to find their own way.

    -physically challenged individuals begging on the road

    -when you see poor infrastructure and low educational standards in government and

    special schools.

    THE JOURNEY BEGINS..

    Getting encouraged and inspired by these thoughts I began my journey to find an NGO

    that could help me in meeting out this opportunity.

    When I got the project I spent a couple of days in deciding which NGO to work for

    because none of the NGOS were ready to accept my proposal to work for 25 hours.

    Almost every NGO was willing that I should work for them for the span of 3 months.

    Then eventually I got the acceptance from a very reputed NGO called HELEN KELLER

    HIGH SCHOOL. The coordinator, MR. Hariom Pandit, after a prolonged discussion and

    verifying my certificates agreed with me to give me the permission to work for them in

    their MPWAB certified Helen Keller High School project.

    He informed me about the location, timings of the venue where the project was carried

    out. It was situated in the core area of Prakash Nagar. It was a huge area with a lot of

    greenery all around.

    I arrived there by changing three buses.

    It was a hectic journey but then I knew that hard work pays off well.

    As I reached there I found my head Mr. Babulalji, whom I knew from my childhood since

    I used to go there once in a month earlier, waiting for us to show us the right venue where

    the activities were supposed to be carried out.

    I saw a lot of special children performing their morning prayers and visited the school

    campus. It was a beautiful cite to see them reciting national anthem of our country.

    17/31

    Later , I came to know that it was an all state NGO MEET where more than 1300 NGOs

    had come there to have a meeting to support all the social causes for the disabled as well

    as poor people living in the remote and calamities affected areas where there are no

    helping hands.

    I was very excited and was waiting to help and contribute to the needs of people present

    there. But before I could start my contribution I was explained about the different times in

    which this this organization has helped people in difficult periods. It was also interesting

    to know the remedies that the organization has founded to bring an improvement in the

    quality of life of disabled people.

    As this was my first time in an NGO, I was not prepared for anything and didnt know

    how I should make the kids happy. There were 100 students exactly studying in the

    school from Grade I to Grade X. I met them and my first day was spent in introducing

    them and spending quality time with them. Knowing each other is the most important

    attribute when we meet anyone.

    My next day to the school was quite important as this day was their day i.e. CHRISTMAS

    DAY. The amount of happiness I felt that day was extremely fabulous as I have never had

    such a Christmas before.

    Early in the morning, when I went there, there were a lot of families present donating

    useful necessities as well as toys and gifts to the children.

    There was a delicious dinner made on that day especially for them which was sponsored

    by one of the well known families of Indore.

    There was a sweet smell of Rasgullas and Pav Bhaji that was prepared for them. I had my

    dinner with them and went to Rahuls (student of Helen Keller School Grade VI) room

    where I held a competition for them.

    Then all of us were asked to stand on the side and recite prayers before consuming the

    food. After the prayer was over I began serving food and this was an indication for people

    to start eating their meals. The whole process of serving took about two hours since there

    17

  • 8/3/2019 Ngo Work 2 Be Edited

    18/31

    were more people to be served. The entire work was divided so I did not feel so much

    pressure in serving the food.

    After serving the food and getting exhausted I sat to eat and started enjoying food as after

    working hard everyone enjoys the food.

    As all of us are humans at the end of the day I rested for half an hour .

    From 26th December, 2010 , the children of all grades had their exams and my work for

    the other three days was to conduct Grade IX and X examinations. I was shocked when I

    saw the blind children writing their exams with so much sincerity and dedication. The

    exam was in Braille and I used to dictate the questions and they used to write the answers.

    I undertook various activities during that time and felt happy about that. The children

    completed their exams successfully and were excited about their program which was to be

    held from 3rd January, 2011. They were very happy about the Golden Jubilee

    Celebrations.

    The children of the school are being given such a brilliant training that no one will expect

    them to be physically challenged. They work like normal human beings and hate when

    someone obliges them. They consider themselves as being at par with the outside world

    and this quality enhanced a feeling of dignity and pride in myself.

    I gave them some knowledge about the co-curricular activities and performed some of the

    plays and songs with them. They were very excited about the fact that I was singing and

    they started calling me singer bhaiya . I liked the name given to me.

    It was good experience altogether to receive feed backs from people who came there and I

    was enjoying every bit of it. There was a period when very less parents were there so I got

    a free time to relax my muscles and talk to each other sharing each others experience.

    18

  • 8/3/2019 Ngo Work 2 Be Edited

    19/31

    I went in for a photo shoot session where I thought that the pictures would help me make

    my report in a better and an attractive way.

    There was another reason why I wanted to take the pictures. It was that this experience

    was something that had to be shared in future as well and it was a good way of going back

    to the memory lane.

    After the photo shoot session I decided to get back to my work and with full dedication I

    continued the work. Having worked there at the reception for a long time I got the

    affirmation to go and have my lunch . The lunch provided by them was awesome and it

    was free also as I was engaged in social activities I had an advantage.

    The next day I was appointed to arrange the targets for the Golden Jubilee Celebrations

    which were to be started from 3rd January and I undertook the responsibility and made

    respective arrangements. The function was to be held at Kila Maidan and the journey was

    will be started from Rajwada.

    After their whole wandering in and around the arrangements I took a constructive

    feedback from them by letting them fill the forms and provide their contacts and address

    so that I could be in touch with them in the future.

    Now it was really becoming tiring for me because I was working since morning and its

    not a easy job to attend this many people from various backgrounds at a single time.

    However I completed my work and went home.

    The work was very well organized but the main issue was of finance collection. Since that

    day I did not had much work so I went with the other volunteers to collect donation

    money from the assigned addresses and several institutions.

    Next day on Monday I had to go to work for the NGO as my 5 hours were remaining and

    I had to complete that in order to get the qualifying certificate. After 1 P.M., I went to

    Helen Keller High Schools main office and had a talk with the NGOS head and he told

    me that our efforts were really helpful the other day and he also told us that I had some

    small work and that I had to go to a place and meet some trustees and explain the same

    19

  • 8/3/2019 Ngo Work 2 Be Edited

    20/31

    thing as I performed yesterday and tell them all about the various activities taken up by

    the myself.

    I set out for the place in auto and reached there after 20 minutes. Then I met some people

    who were the trustees of MPWAB and they wanted to know about my experience helping

    the children and my contributions as a volunteer. I did the same as required by them. I

    explained them about my work and they were perplexed by my explanations. It was again

    a revision type of thing for me and now I was getting bored but I cant ignore it also

    because I was on the verge of completing the project.

    After two hours I was told to go back to the office again and I set out for it. The person

    who took me to the place, pointed out some places on the way and told us that these are

    the various small NGOS where some volunteers come and do their projects. So after

    requesting him a lot he finally agreed to my request and I told the auto wala to stop in the

    middle . I got down there and then went inside in one of the NGO.

    It was not as big as the main office of MPWAB but I found it amazing. I saw people

    helping some children in carrying out their activities. Those children were divided into

    groups. Some were orphans and some were those children who were physically

    challenged. I spent around 2 hours with them and I also contributed in helping them by

    serving them food and playing indoor games with many of them. It was a good experience

    playing with kids who were also happy when they saw some outsiders coming and

    interacting with them.

    After this I went back to the office and there I saw the head Hariom Pandit in his office. I

    waited there for half an hour and then he called me. He was very much amused with my

    work and dedication which I showed in the whole time span. I was having talks with him

    then the person who went with me came into the office and told about my work in the

    orphanage, Mr. Pandit, who himself is blind by birth, was amused by hearing this and he

    agreed to give me the certificate. He gave me the envelope which had the certificate , I

    thanked him and gave him the assurance that in the near future I will surely help their

    NGO whenever they will require.

    As a learning experience, the NGO project contributed a lot towards my personal growth

    and development. It made me come face to face with realities that I experience everyday,

    but I was not ready to accept it as a part of our lives.

    On a general note the project was a very broad one that could have ranged from an idea

    based community service to people based service. My effort, though centered around a

    project named and the issues that the blind people had to face everyday, it did taught me

    a lot in other aspects as well, because during the course of my interaction with the young ,

    I was fortunate enough to be able to share a part of the experiences of some of the many

    time tested beings. At times I was not so welcome and at times it seemed as an extension

    of our daily lives, but on the whole it taught me a lot and I would not be exaggerating it if

    I say that the project benefitted me more than the society in terms of immediate results,

    because to say the truth I did not do much other than just give company to, and spend

    some time with the children.

    I could not forget the first day of my NGO activity when went to prakash nagar by bus.

    It was an awesome experience going this far by bus. As I reached there I was told to serve

    foods to the people present there. This was my first time serving food to these needy

    children.

    Then after serving food I realized how good and satisfactory it felt by serving people. It

    was really a nice experience living for a night . Whole night was fun as I talked a lot

    about the activities that I did the whole day starting from my journey then serving food to

    children and then arranging things for exhibition which was my next task to be held the

    next day. I arranged quite a few flower pots and many other things displayed in the

    exhibition. And the whole day was too tiring and I was asleep.

    Though I cant really measure the accomplishment of my objective, I can say this for sure,

    that it added to my being as a person and if nothing else, it will help me to be better and

    more compassionate beings. It may sound clichd and I might not be even be able to do it

    for all I know, but I am sure my heart would be satiated if I continue to visit those people

    who taught me a lesson in compassion.

    RECOMMENDATIONS

    After working in Helen Keller High school for 25 hours these are the suggestion I would

    like to make to the management of MPWAB .These suggestions are based on my

    experience of interacting with the volunteers and my observations.

    The people of the NGO are really nice but they should make sure that when they

    are taking the volunteers into certain outside project then they should make

    necessary arrangements so that the volunteers can reach to the destination without

    facing any problem. I am saying this because I faced a lot of difficulty in reaching

    my destination as I was told just the name of the place where I had to reach.

    The NGO can have talks with institutions and get students to volunteer and

    organize activities in their project as it cheers up the students and also provides a

    learning opportunity to the youngsters.

    The organization should also make sure that they give chances to as many college

    students as possible because in the beginning I found it difficult to join the NGO

    because the minimum requirement to work there for was 3 months and I had to

    work for 25 hours.

    My suggestion is that they should invent small projects also so that people like us

    can get a good opportunity in working and gaining a lot from these social

    activities.

    Apart from these general suggestions that are suggested above, I would like to say that the

    NGO is run in a very efficient and well maintained way. All the things are very well

    communicated and the staffs or members out there are very dedicated to their variousprojects and they achieve their objective also. I had good experience working with such a

    huge organisation and it would not have been possible if Mr. Babulalji had not

    recommended me for this project.

    I would also like to thank the owner of the NGO who allowed me to work and give me the

    certificate for 25 hours of work as it was not on their criteria and it was against their rules,

    but it was his gratitude towards me that he considered my project and granted me the

    permission for working there.

    Nowadays youngsters hardly pay any heed to the wounds of people but organizations like

    HKH are instigating the warm blood to show the talent by helping people. It is through

    HKH only that youngsters who are really interested in doing social activities for the

    society and the poor can do it according to the wishes because the projects designed by

    HKH are such that youth can participate in it.

    I would like to suggest that once in a lifetime a man should live for another man.

    CONCLUSION

    Doing a social activity is not at all opposed by anyone and no one will ever refuse you

    from doing that.

    This being the first experience for me working in NGO I learnt a lot and I got to see the

    realities of life. People need help and by helping others for a good cause is not a wrong

    thing to do.

    These 8 days that I spent their will always be days that I will look back to in life just for

    the valuable lessons and experiences I received. As a conclusion I would like to thank the

    college for having this project as a part of my curriculum as it helped a lot to bring a

    positive change in myself.

    Having done this project I hereby infer that no matter it was a hectic process overall but I

    got the opportunity to help the needy and register my names in the good book of god.

    Because service to man is service to God
