Mid Day Meal Program Challenges During Covid 19

Image
  Covid-19 has impacted almost every sector, whether it’s education or industrial. During the lockdown, all the schools across India have been closed which automatically stopped the benefits of the Mid-Day Meal Scheme to the 6 to 14-year-old underprivileged children. Considering the statistics, over 90% of the world's student population has been affected by school closures caused by COVID-19. In India, the students who rely on a mid-day meal scheme for their one-time nutritious intake, probably suffer the most. Many are stuck in their home without enough food. The parents who are into labor work are jobless. Unlike other students, kids coming from poor families make school meal programs more than a place to attain education. This is why the Government offers a number of facilities to these students so that they can focus on education, keeping all the other negative aspects aside. The Mid-day meal scheme is also a part of this whole program. By providing meals to students, the Gove...

Debunking 3 myths about NGO donations

Image
  In recent years, the number of donations made towards social causes has increased significantly. NGOs, charitable trusts, and other non-profit organizations have been using these additional contributions to extend their cause and reach more people in need. These small steps taken by individuals across the country can truly help accelerate the process of social and economic development. Besides this, if you donate money to NGOs for a cause you care about, you feel a sense of belonging within your society, as well as great satisfaction that you have contributed to making a positive difference for the members of your community.  Even with the many positives associated with making a charitable donation, a large chunk of the population is inhibited to donate money to NGOs or other organizations because of certain misconceptions. As a frequent donor to different types of NGOs in the country, I would like to debunk some of these myths and give you more clarity about maki...

How do food NGOs help to implement the mid-day meal scheme?

Image
  I recently visited a village with my family, where I came across a school, which is very different from a city school. I always wanted my daughter to get a sense of how different children across the country study and that village school solved my purpose. I believe it is important for young children to be aware and acknowledge how people from different strata of society go about their lives. After taking permission from the officials present there, we began looking around the school. The principal went along with us and showed us the classrooms where children were reading textbooks or listening to their teachers. He also showed us the sports field where a few children were playing amongst each other. Soon after, during lunch time, children from the different classes gathered around as they waited for their meals. Once they were served, I saw that the meals included a serving of vegetables, rice, pulses and curd. I did know that these schools came under the purview of the mid-day...

There are certain steps that you can take to make the best out of your volunteering journey: Choose a cause that you care about:  Choosing to work with an...

Where do my contributions towards the education of underprivileged children go?

Image
Since I was a young girl, I found a lot of joy in going to school, attending classes, and having lunch with my friends. As I grew up, I realized that not every child in India can enjoy the same things that I did, and poverty acts as a barrier to education for a large group of underprivileged children. A few years ago I left my corporate job, and have dedicated my efforts to gift the power of education to as many young minds as possible. Since then, I have traveled to different parts of India and volunteered in some of the top NGOs in India working towards educating children.  From my experience, I can tell you where exactly  donation for poor child education are allocated by NGOs: Providing children with food: Ensuring that children are well-nourished is extremely important so that they can concentrate in class and focus on their studies. I have seen a lot of children feel very lethargic and perform poorly in academics if they do not receive high-quality food to con...
