NIRMAN 11 Batch

Dear Participants,

Please read the WHOLE document carefully!

To all those who sent us the application forms, to all those with whom we interacted, thank you! It’s

been a great learning experience for us. Congratulations to all of you and a very warm welcome to

the NIRMAN Samudaay! Your NIRMAN educational journey has already started with the application

form and the interaction we had (and with the assignments you did!). To continue this journey ahead,

we are inviting following people (the list starts from the fourth page) for the NIRMAN 11th batch series

of workshops at SEARCH, Gadchiroli. The people in this group are invited by taking into consideration

their background, interests, aptitude, activities done so far, their future plans and corresponding

learning needs.

NIRMAN 11 batch is special in many ways. The selection process has been an arduous but enjoyable

endeavor! We received 1050 applications, interviewed 475 people and have finally selected the

following 160 candidates. With your batch, the NIRMAN community has now grown beyond 1500

individuals! Congratulations to all of us for achieving this milestone!

The entire NIRMAN 11 batch is divided into 2 sections namely A and B. The first workshops of the

NIRMAN 11 batch i.e. NIRMAN 11.1 will be scheduled sometime post January 2021.

The residential workshops will be held on our campus “Shodhgram” at SEARCH, Gadchiroli.

We usually communicate the exact dates of the workshops with this selection list itself. However, due to

present uncertain times, we can only tell you that the workshops will be organized sometime in

February or beyond, depending on the Covid-19 situation in Gadchiroli and elsewhere, and also taking

into consideration the exam schedules for most of you. We will inform you at least a month in advance

so that you will have enough time to plan the travel.

The allotment of candidates in these two sections is based on our assessment of the inclinations,

priorities and corresponding learning needs of the individuals, and thus will consist of specific inputs to

orient them to the ocean of possibilities and opportunities of social contribution and of becoming a

social change agent. Thus, try such that you can attend the workshop as part of your designated

section.

IMPORTANT: The current selection is only for the first training workshops in the NIRMAN

Educational Process. Depending on your presence, the nature and quality of your participation

and your further learning needs, the decision about inviting you to the next training workshops

in the series will be taken, and that will be solely at the discretion of the NIRMAN Team.

We do expect that now onwards you stay in touch with us pro-actively, visit us in Shodhgram, SEARCH,

Gadchiroli for NIRMAN 11.1 training workshops as well as take part in various service/research efforts,

keep reading relevant material and be socially active in your local situations. Please ask us for advice if

necessary, but understand that your NIRMAN journey has already begun now and the onus lies on you

to participate to the fullest extent.

You will find some homework and instructions at the end of this document. Please read them carefully

and start working on them.

We wish to inform everyone that some part of the conversation in NIRMAN training workshops does

happen in Marathi, however, Hindi & English are also used frequently. Our prior experience is that

people outside of Maharashtra who are not completely well versed with Marathi can still understand the

crux of it and are able to extract relevant learning. Their other NIRMAN batch mates also help them in

this process. We just want you to know about this and if possible, take some brief lessons about

Marathi before reaching here. That would only increase the beauty and fun in the process not to

mention that you will still learn a lot anyway.

We also want to take this opportunity to thank our NIRMAN alumni and the team of interviewers who

took an active part in this entire selection process, right from the information spread to scrutiny of the

applications to conducting the interviews, to providing useful feedback as and when needed. Thank

you! We couldn’t have completed this mammoth operation without your help.

Everybody who has taken part in the NIRMAN selection process, please continue to contribute to your

local community and strengthen your association with NIRMAN. The applicants, whose names are not

here in this particular list, can get back to us when the next batch is due to start. All of you can certainly

take part in allied initiatives of SEARCH, NIRMAN and NIRMAN alumni which offer rich action-based

learning opportunities. And irrespective, continue to nurture sensitivity towards social issues and

contribute as best as you can.

It’s a great pleasure to have you join us in this social crusade. We hope to have an exciting journey

together. Kindly keep on visiting our website and stay in touch. See you!

- NIRMAN Team

Potential impact of solving it, etc.

for social change in an area say ‘y’ since last 10 years. They have been running a

health care through a hospital. You are going to visit them to understand their work.

What questions would you ask to assess the effectiveness of their work?

k. What are your personal reasons for wanting to engage in social action? Do you think

we need an active social sector along with private and government sectors for the
