1) Humar Gao Humar Swabhiman – My Village my Pride :
In this project, we will establish small self-employment units aimed at generating employment opportunities in villages, thereby contributing to the overall development of the community. These small units will primarily utilize non-capital-intensive methods for the production of goods and services.
2) Sports Events :
Sports is an integral aspect of life. The late Shri Ambika Sharan Singh was not only a distinguished politician but also possessed a profound interest in sports, believing that it contributes significantly to the development of an individual. In his honor, we will hold an annual sports meet on the anniversary of his passing to pay tribute to this esteemed leader.
3) Sarthi – Hastnirmit , Utkristh , kifayati
Sarthi operates on the principle that even the smallest contributions, such as a donation of INR 1 from numerous individuals, can collectively lead to the accomplishment of a larger objective. All items available in the store will be priced at a Base Price, which reflects the minimum margin, ensuring that individuals with lower incomes can access quality products. Buyers will have the option to pay up to the Maximum Retail Price (MRP) of the item, and those who choose to pay more than the Base Price will be considered as Sarthi.
Charitable contributions, regardless of their size, can lead to significant changes, as every donation is valuable. The support from Sarthi will enable us to operate these stores, where the products sold will adhere to the following criteria:
Hastnirmit
One of the primary objectives of the NGO is to implement Labour Intensive Technology; therefore, the products available for sale in the store will primarily be handcrafted. The application of Labour Intensive Technology contributes to the creation of employment opportunities.
Utkristh
Adulteration and quality represent significant concerns when purchasing non-branded goods, particularly for individuals with lower incomes who often rely on such products. It is our conviction that access to quality goods is a fundamental right for all individuals. Therefore, these stores will prioritize the production of Hastnirmit and Utkristh items, which refer to handmade goods of superior quality.
Kifayati
One of the significant challenges we encounter is maintaining a price comparable to that of non-branded products while ensuring our quality surpasses that of branded items. Given that most handmade products are typically priced much higher than their machine-made counterparts, our objective is to offer pricing equivalent to that of machine-made products. Establishing a base price, which includes a minimal margin, will undoubtedly assist us in reaching this goal, and with support from Sarthi, we can certainly enhance our competitiveness.
