Journey of Karmaarth
We believe that “charity begins at home but should not end there”. The responsiveness
and the need to bring some change in the society became an inevitable thought. The
initiative was taken by Jagannath Gupta Memorial Educational Society in the year 2010
with its prime focus to increase the employment quotient among the under privileged
youth of the Indian society and collectively increasing their literally skills by
creating a source medium centre with no personal gain. The vision, mission and the
success of such organization has its grounds on its constant growth and efforts
initiated by skilled professionals and experts who have outgrown within a span of
two years and inculcated relentlessly their efforts and energies towards the social
cause. The man behind the idea, Mr. Manish Gupta the chairman of JIMS (Group of
institutions) and the founder of ‘‘Karmaarth” a self owned Non governmental organization,
contributed collectively to take a path which is socially responsible. The iniative
is a setting example for those, who can individually; join hands than materializing
the aspect behind a self owned social organization. It is a source giving opportunity
to the underprivileged youth. To see such talent pool of youth who can deliver their
best of their potential and can accept the reality of life that life is beautiful
and that its their right to get the basic necessities of life was our aim, and to
experience them nurture and blossom is an achievement and a heartening experience
in itself.
The Thought
The idea started with a thought of reaching to the under privileged, mainly the
aim was too dug out a source which would initiate a ray of hope to the underpoverished
people. Keeping this in mind the idea reached a growth stage where now it stands.
To reach out to the slum communities and attracting live people with their real
life stories who were at a situation of being hand to mouth.
Achievements
With the advent of economic progression with the passing days, inflation reaching
no boundaries the hard times of the impoverished classes started. Unemployment became
a major issue which needed much concerns and had to be resolved. Karmaarth came
as helping hands and as a source centre to people, who were looking for a hope.
Few from many were the real task takers and iniated all their energies irrespective
of any gain dedicated to this cause. It started with 40 beneficiaries from different
age groups and classes coming together from Mangolpuri community. After this there
was no looking back the number increased and reached to 2108. Its growth is tremendous
and so the result foreseen. Nurturing women inherent talent was another cause which
was iniated. Grooming them and enhancing their personality came out with zubilious
colors. Through this they received the basic employment so that they can keep a
head high attitude in the society. Every door was reached and knocked and a proper
family counseling was done to showcase.
The activities that student undertake are life giving to them as they were clueless
as to what they would do in life. Girls of all age groups and young boys who could
not get a basic education were trained. They successfully participate in various
competitions and are getting maximizing exposure that they can receive. From dancing
to music to art making, free hand stitching, tailoring, hardware and software to
mobile repairing all our taught by trained professionals
The children at the age of 6-14 were hand picked from urban slum communities who
lost their childishness at an early stage. Education for them at Karmaarth became
a ray of hope and light for them to become civilized human being in the society.
Prioritizing the child education and employing the masses were the spirit of people
working for Karmaarth
Some of our successes stories make us feel proud:
