OUTREACH ACTIVITY
With Swami’s immense Grace and Blessings, SSSSO Delhi-NCR has launched a School outreach initiative for spreading His divine messages across the private and government school children in Delhi-NCR.
A two-fold strategy was formulated for this initiative:
-
Outreach through conduct of EHV programs in MCD Schools
-
Inviting participation of Schools in competitions/programmes organised at SSSIC, New Delhi.
Main Highlights:
-
Outreach through conduct of EHV programs in MCD Schools
● We approached the Directorate of Education, MCD for permission to conduct Education in Human Values/ Bal Vikas programs in Schools.
● A program was proposed to the Directorate for conducting EHV Programs under SSS Vidya Jyoti Program in Govt. Schools comprising Bal Vikas/Yoga Classes, Morning Assembly, Competitions, Celebrating Festivals, Teachers’ Training Programs, etc., and permission was granted to conduct our programs in 100 primary schools under them.
● District wise teams visited these schools for understanding the ground situations and concerns facing the schools.
● Copies of the Annual Report of SSSSO Delhi-NCR were given to the Schools so they could understand the Organisation’s objectives. 28 Schools have been covered across Delhi-NCR in the first phase of the project and Bal Vikas classes have been started in a few schools.
● Principals of these Schools are wholeheartedly supporting our Teams for conducting the EHV programs.
● Small teams of 2-4 persons are being identified for mapping with these schools, comprising of BV Gurus, Youth, Retired Devotees, Active Ladies & Gents Seva Dals.
● SSSSO will support these schools with RO, separate Toilets for boys and girls, furniture, computers etc., as required.
