SSY Aandhale

In our endeavor to empower rural India, we are continuously reaching out to different villages with our enriching SSY program. And we have now successfully added Aandhale village in our fold. For the first time, Aandhale village hosted SSY program for the villagers with a batch of 19 people. Already, in Khamboli village, there’s an SSY program being conducted with 32 villagers.  At Katarkhadak, we recently completed an SSY batch for villagers. Also, our ‘Clean India Mission’ is being incorporated in the program by creating awareness & showing the villagers, the video –  ‘ The Cleanest Village of India’, along with SSY program. It is an initiative to inspire them and raise their consciousness, so that they are open to ‘Clean India Mission’ and work towards making it a reality of their own accord.

Mehendi

This time we used a shade of red to spread smiles. Women at Katarakhadak village have been receiving training in applying mehendi. To give a festive cultural tinge to the Upanaynum and Raksha Bandhan ceremonies, 9 village girls were invited to apply mehendi on the hands of Gurukulam girl students, teachers and parents. Our small endeavor to colour the lives of the village women with hues of happiness.

Naturopathy organisation INO

‘When beautiful people come together, beautiful things happen.’ We experienced this when 500 of us gathered to celebrate International Yoga Day. Our Rural development team led by Mrs. Renuka Vyas, a senior Naturopath and her team of three other Naturopath instructors made us bond over yogasanas. The exchange of love and thoughts between people from different villages was a cherry on the cake. INO recognised our work with appreciation & coupled it with certification.

BNI chapter (Titan)

It is said, ‘Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.’ Keeping this as a motto, BNI chapter (Titan) joined hands with RSVK in our vision for Women Empowerment at Katarkhadak village. The support came in form of four sewing machines along with tailoring kits for women and Naturopathy equipment like massage table, body steamers and Kati snan tub. The cloth bags tailored by the village women will serve the dual purpose of saving environment in addition to gifting them financial freedom. The Naturopathy and beauty treatment training, along with equipment, given to the village girls is helping them carve out a niche for themselves.  13 BNI personnel visited Katarkhadak to inaugurate this activity in the village. They enjoyed making cloth bags with village women and interacting with them. The women also enjoyed a head massage given by the village girls.

Training women for the last four months and connecting with BNI to make our collective vision a reality.

Rains raincoats and plants

Let your heart melt this monsoon! Yes, the joy of sharing is so blissful! Children in villages go to school walking. And many of them have to walk miles. During the rains, if they have raincoats, it’s easier for them to walk and be dry for the whole day in the school. Yet, not to make any one just seekers of charity, even when we share our abundance, we link it with a higher purpose! So we linked this raincoats distribution with the Plantation drive. Every child was given two saplings, one of Amla and one of Jaamun. Children loved to receive the combination of both saplings and raincoats. Both the things made them equally happy! It was a heartwarming sight to see these children value the raincoats – the way they received it, tried it, folded it and were in gratitude.

Offering of RSVK

We distributed in four villages schools of Aandhale, Katarkhadak, Jawal and Khamboli. Total 200 raincoats, 400 saplings.
