Creation to destruction.

It is said that God created life in 6 days. And has been nurturing it since centuries out of mind
and gifted us with the best and named it, Nature. An astonishingly balanced, replete with all
needs of every creature. From herbal mountains to fertile plains. With the sun as our
powerhouse and the clouds of water as blessings of heaven. Vegetables for our nourishment
and fruits for dessert. North Star to guide us and forests to get lost in. Rivers to swim and
oceans to drown. Wish for it and one can live it.

Nature has enough to fulfill a man’s need but nothing to fulfill his greed. The sordid boon the
man is living with is a consequence of their desire for materials. Fool’s gold has taken the
precedence over the wisdom of nature. The glad animal movements are lost in the concrete
jungles. The peaceful environment that bore every creature in harmony, is now, out of tune
under the noise of industrialization. The environment has met it's alter ego.
The inventions that meant to help the humans are threatening their fellow phylum. The plastic
bag that helps to carry the loads are choking the stray. The car that made transportation an
ease, has melted the ice caps. Polar bears are losing their habitat. The road that was to bridge
the distance has destroyed countless homes.
The environment that was meant to be our home, has been left to decay under the weights of
pollutants. And all credits to human intelligence. Hats off to fragile dreams of greedy. And no
doubt Hermit’s cave is losing to Burj khalifas.

Its better late than never. The clock is ticking, the time is running out. Make your move now or
regret in your grave.
Compensate now or get ready to pay for your sins. Plant trees, be compassionate towards the
fellow kingdoms, pour out some water for little Aves and rodents, to nature's environment. Adopt
the effective ways to lower down pollution. Choose to carpool. Use CNG technology. Harvest
rainwater before every well dries up. Use biodegradable material before land degrades and you
run out of space for your own grave.
We are trying to make our environment a better place to live in.
Do your Prayaas as well.

Our Work and Initiatives

● Shiksha Mission- Shiksha Mission is one of the most drastic and superlative initiatives of
Prayaas Corps. Realizing the hollowness of the Indian education system, volunteers took a
major step in educating children in nearby government schools which lacks to provide children a
fundamental education. Children are taught after school, not only the syllabi but co-curricular
activities too. Shiksha Mission received an overwhelming response from villagers who were
reluctant to give their children a proper education as well as from children who were interested
to learn and adopt new skills and learnings.

● Leprosy Event-
There exists a misconception among people of our country regarding Leprosy. Discarding such
baseless concepts and to give those people hope of life, volunteers celebrate World Leprosy
Day and Republic Day every year with Leprosy contracted people of Indra Kushta Ashram.
Apart from providing them food and delicacies, educational and entertainment events also
organized to show them that they are too, a part of this society and country. They are
encouraged to study, to learn and never lose hope so that someday they might become dutiful
citizens.
● Raahat- A gift of warmth-
Northern India is one of such part of our country which, each year, witnesses extreme winters.
Well to do thrive, the poor and the needy suffer. It is through Raahat the volunteers carry out a
large-scale blanket and warm cloth distribution to the needy and poor to help them sustain the
extreme cold. The event is conducted in two parts. In the first part, people in Old Age Homes
are being donated blankets and in the next phase, needy people on streets are being provided
with clothes and blankets. Through years, the growth has been substantial.

● Environmental Issues-
Volunteers of Prayaas Corps have taken steps for environmental protection as well. Organising
plantation drives, providing food and water in hanging pitchers for the birds in summer and
cleanliness drives under Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan have been the major events which reflect the
organization’s sustainable perspective towards our environment.
These events received huge accolades as support increased.
● Health Care-
With growing support and volunteers, Prayaas Corps in association with many hospitals have
organized medical camps and blood donation events. This helped in several ways.
Blood donation cards helped volunteers to donate blood to the one in need whenever
necessary. It too gave an opportunity for many people to save as many lives by donating their
blood. Health camps are too being organized in villages with poor medical facilities. Doctors
treat villagers free of cost providing quality medicines and treatment.
