PART I: COVERING LETTER

“What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the

world remains and is immortal.”

Greetings,��We at YIMF would like to take 5 minutes of your time to introduce our NGO, the

"Young Ignited Minds Foundation".

Background

Young Ignited Minds Foundation is a student run non-profit organization whose primary aim

is to help the poor children in acquiring education and helping them become self-sufficient to

support themselves and their families. Young Ignited Minds Foundation is a registered non-

government entity operating on the NGO scale level. We are an operational NGO, striving to

plan and carry out boots-on-the- ground projects to accomplish our objectives. This requires a

great deal of careful planning, communication, and local involvement for each project.

All across our nation, there are various non-governmental organizations that strive to step away

from the conventional, refuse to remain complacent with the ignorance of a majority of the

nation towards their rights, and, venture to change the same. Young Ignited Minds Foundation

(YIMF), is no exception to this. Founded in 2015 by a law student, Eshaan Bansal in the memory

of his grandfather.

The organization has endeavored to approach social issues like poverty, education, women

empowerment, access to courts of law, etc, in a subtle yet effective fashion.

Our aim at YIMF is to reach the disadvantaged directly, who represents the suppression still

prevalent in India even after seventy-one years of independent history. Through a multifarious

approach in spheres such as Environment and Sanitation, Women Empowerment, Child Welfare,

Education and Legal Aid, we aspire to touch a substantial portion of social issues persisting in

India. Comprising of young college students, YIMF, by undertaking awareness and restoration

drives in schools and organizing donation events, has managed to leave a mark in the lives of

those benefitted by it. Our aim is to expand our reach and continue to fulfill the vision on the

basis of which YIMF was founded and achieve this by taking one step at a time towards a

brighter future.

Vision

Our vision has been planned while keeping in mind all the latest developments and changes

which India needs to achieve in the social sphere. The vision for the country is to make it legally

empowered in order to combat all evils which haunts our nation even after 71 years of

independence. There must be equitable justice for each of our citizen, irrespective of their

position in the social strata. We plan to see an independent India, where its citizens get the basic

amenities of life, their requirements are fed and their needs are catered to.

YIMF works for the social upliftment of deprived classes with the vision, for them to stand on

their own in the upcoming years of achievement. Education would be reached out to more than

95% of the total population, which in turn should help them meet better hygiene and living

conditions. People must be properly educated at the present time, about the maintenance of

health, conservation of energy, prevention of economic degradation, etc. with the aim that future

generation does not suffer due to our negligence. Eradication of poverty and promotion of

sustainable development must be at its best to help various transitions in the country for the sake

of development of the economy as a whole.

Though YIMF is a recent contributor in the development of the integrity of our nation, its

members are working actively to make the aforementioned vision a reality. YIMF promotes the

pro-development activities and conducts sessions and seminars regarding the same, with the aim

of educating people about the vision we need to achieve in the contemporary times. With the

mutual cooperation of the members and volunteers, the dream to establish India as a major

power- free from the elements of social degradation, holds true.

PART III: CSR PROJECT DETAILS

Ø WALL OF HOPE

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself I the service of others.”

-As quoted by Mahatma Gandhi,

Our first step towards the society began with the event “Wall of Hope”, where we made a

contribution to social welfare at Patiala which was the biggest giveaway in the city. Distributing

Clothes to those in need brought smile to our face as well as to those of the poor people to whom

we distributed the clothes. It felt like, we were able to make a small yet vital impact on their

lives. Through our event “Wall of Hope” we could help many underprivileged people leave with

a smile on their face was the best part of the event. We tried our best to giveaway the most by

distributing clothes, blankets, footwear, soft drinks, eatables to people present there, especially

children. The smile they had on their face was priceless.

Following the pathway given by the Patiala event, similar events were organized by the Mumbai

and Delhi branch in the month of May and June, 2018, which ended up being a huge success.

Ø PAATHSHALA

Paathshala is a Restoration Drive for government schools. We have conducted 2 such

Paathshala’s, in Lachkani School, Patiala and in SGVM English School, Mumbai, where we

distributed the basic stationary to the students, cleaned the school, get the whitewash done.

Educating children is an important part of the society that really ensures about a healthy future of

our nation. No country can hope to progress or become civilized unless its young have access to

education and a life which promises full exploration of their potential.

Our event “Paatshala” provides the platform to students to take participation in the painting

competition, sports events. Sports activities promote physical mental well-being and helps in

reducing stress. Students have shown enthusiasm in participating in the event in sports activities


of 14

like: Musical Chair, Football, Sack Race etc.

Ø SAARTHI

This event marked our venture into the field of social welfare and emancipation of children in

particular. Conducted in local government schools, ‘Saarthi’ is an awareness drive for middle

schoolers about the signs, dangers and redressal mechanisms related to sexual abuse. Children

are provided comprehensive talks, material and made to participate in discussions revolving

around concepts like ‘good touch bad touch’ and child care helplines established to safeguard

their interests in times of need.

A special session on menstrual hygiene and awareness is also held for and by female students.

This event is a step towards YIMF playing its part as a conscientious contributor to the holistic

welfare of the society; beginning from the very grassroots.

“We do hope that this information will help you gain a clear idea of

what we offer. We believe that our organization is a worthy cause that

will do a great deal of good for many people. We're eager to partner

with you to make this noble cause lead to substantial benefits in the

short, medium and long term.”
