Key Projects

Introduction

Community service has always been a cornerstone of my professional and personal life. Over the years, I have dedicated significant time and effort to various initiatives that aim to make a positive impact on society. Here, I am delighted to share some of the key projects and roles I have undertaken in the realm of community service.

Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Vahini (SSSVV)

Since June 2011, I have been actively involved with Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Vahini (SSSVV), an educational initiative by the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust in India. My role has been to enrich the deliverables of SSSVV through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives since 2014. This has involved collaborating with corporates to leverage their resources and expertise, thereby enhancing the educational content and delivery mechanisms of SSSVV. The initiative aims to provide value-based education to rural and underserved communities, bridging the educational divide and fostering holistic development in students.

Efforts with Deloitte during COVID-19 Pandemic

During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, I coordinated an extensive CSR project with Deloitte, a multinational consulting organization. In this project, 7500 Deloitte employees volunteered their time and skills to create interactive quizzes across various subjects for students from class 1 to 9. The entire event was executed online, showcasing the power of digital platforms in bringing together a large group of volunteers for a common cause. This initiative not only provided engaging educational content for students during a challenging time but also highlighted the potential of remote collaboration in community service.

Akshaya Kshetram

I am also serving as a Digital Technology Consultant at Akshaya Kshetram, a charitable organization based in Andhra Pradesh, India. Akshaya Kshetram is dedicated to the care and education of 100 mentally and physically challenged individuals of all ages. My role involves advising on and implementing digital solutions to enhance the organization's operations and educational programs. This includes developing digital infrastructure, creating accessible educational content, and training staff to use new technologies effectively.

Engaging Senior Citizens

Recognizing the importance of active engagement for senior citizens, I designed and conducted various activities aimed at keeping them physically and mentally active. The initiatives include "Fitness with Fun," a program designed to encourage physical exercise in an enjoyable manner; "Chai pe Charcha," a discussion forum where senior citizens can share their thoughts and experiences; and "Games for All," which includes a variety of games to stimulate cognitive functions and provide entertainment. These programs are tailored to promote overall well-being and foster a sense of community among the elderly.

Conclusion

My journey in community service has been deeply fulfilling, offering numerous opportunities to give back to society and make a meaningful difference. Each of these initiatives has taught me valuable lessons and reinforced my belief in the power of collective effort and digital innovation in driving positive change. As I continue this journey, I remain committed to exploring new ways to serve and uplift communities, leveraging my skills and experiences to create a lasting impact.
