A touching and motivational movie was made by the students with fantastic audio and visual aids. Ehsaas is started with an objective to provide students with a platform to contribute to the society. Some of the initiatives planned are: Blood donation camps, helps rendered in old-age homes, orphanage; at traffic signals, stations; to roadside urchins etc.
Zensar Center of Business Innovation, thus, is helping the students not only in understanding the business industry requirements and dealing with the issues in innovative manner, but also with the society in total.
With his years of experience, Ranjit Gadgil helped the students in understanding the ground realities. He shared his feelings of what it feels like when one is trapped in the situation where one is on the crossroads of the life. He has worked for the corporate sector and has lived the lavish life of United States. But he listened to his call of life and opted for coming back to India to work full time for his country, for the people of the country who need help.
Ranjiit Gadgil’s ‘Janwani’ in Pune works in an organized manner for the cause. It is the citizens’ initiative of the Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture. He is its Program Director. He explained that with the funds that NGOs have, they need to manage their resources in an efficient manner. And they need the human resources too, for the same purpose. He cleared the misconception that some people generally have ‘the NGOs are useless and any financial help given to them is a waste. A lot of work has been done and all that has been made possible only because of the sincere efforts that NGOs have put.
In the interactive session that spanned around an hour and half, the budding managers got real tactics about how to work with the kind of political system and bureaucracy that exists in country at present; about how to change the system, even while remaining in the system. The civic bodies need to be shaken from the slumber they are in. It requires a great deal of conviction and perseverance to handle the things in such situation.
With the support of Zensar Technology and Zensar Center of Business Innovation, the spirited students are venturing into this arena of taking projects related to social cause. It shall empower the students to make a difference not only in their lives, but also in the lives of the fellow beings.
