From our CEO

Another new financial year begins and we have already completed a month. This year we started off on a great note. We created a set of goals for the year 2025-26. Then, using the power of mind maps and some productivity techniques that I learnt from my mentor recently, we worked further. We split the goals month wise. We also worked out methods on tracking what we accomplished. We found that we had done pretty well for April! That felt really good and we are charged to do more next month!

In April an important development was figuring out how we could use volunteers. For years, when we did try, we had not been too successful. This year, we stumbled upon www.wedogood.in - we heard their Founder speak in a webinar and then later connected with them. They are an organization that understands what an NGO needs, connects them to people from their volunteer pool and then helps the NGO to complete a specific project with the volunteer's help. We have signed up for one and are eager to move ahead!

Earlier this year, we had a small experiment with two interns from the NMIMS - a well known institution in Mumbai. It was great knowing that their students of the BBA degree had to compulsorily intern with NGOs in their first year. We got two very enthusiastic students - Ananya and Mittal who put in 60 hours with us and then are continuing with us on their own accord for a slightly longer time. It is a learning experience for us too - and we hope we make some strides in great engagement of volunteers.

From our Blog

In April we decided to restart our blogs after a rather long gap. Do check out a story from our Founder's early career days - on Responsibility, the need to empower employees and the need to train them for specific situations. Read here

Course: Information Resources and Literature Searching

Entered into a whole new world of literature searching with this course. What I liked about the course is the basic foundation building using simple words throughout all videos and mind maps for quick revision. Arya Hardas, UG Student, Goa Medical College
