Navigation of Ashwamedh Foundation in the FY 2015-2016

  Navigation of Ashwamedh Foundation in the FY 2015-2016


       Yesterday on 29th January 2016 Ashwamedh Foundation completed 3 yrs as a registered non-profit Organization. As a founder I am quite happy to see that Ashwamedh Foundation reaching this important milestone in it's life. In a Business real valuation starts once you achieve 'Break-Even' but in case of Non Profit Organization you start getting Valuation only after you complete 3 years as registered Organization. That's the basic requirement to get NGO status, apply for Govt. funding, 12 A, 80 G certificates and so on.When I started Ashwamedh Group in August 2010; I started working in four fields simultaneously  Arts (Ashwamedh Kalamanch), Finance (Ashwamedh Financial Services), Education (Ashwamedh Knowledge Centre) and Social Work (Ashwamedh Foundation). Ashwamedh Kalamanch was winded up in the August 2012 and merged into Indifame Media a media company. Ashwamedh Foundation was founded on same day and started it's operation from it's Foundation Day itself. It got registered as Charitable Society on 29th January 2013 and then Public Trust in July 2014. Ashwamedh Foundation works in the field of Education, Healthcare and Environment. But Child Education and Development remained our Major Focus in the last three years. Attrition being the biggest problem in Ashwamedh Foundation we saw many people exiting it and many people joining it; but it didn't affected our work and we continue to give our best to the Social Sector. Navigation so far was quite easy as we were working with the strategy called 'Survival'. From this year We will work with Strategy of 'Growth'. So it's quite important for me to try and find out some great Unconventional Social Projects in the public domain. Many NGOs are working in Education and Healthcare Sectors and it's quite difficult to carve your niche in the clutter of this Me-Too kind of sector. It's possible to keep working in a Local Area for Several years and sustain, but then there is NO scope for Growth beyond some specific limit. Therefore My Priority this year is to Find some Non-conventional Projects like Waste Management, Renewable Energy, Financial Literacy etc. 
I am quite positive that sooner or later My team will find sense in what I am planning to do. 

     The ongoing Project Ankur of Ashwamedh Foundation will complete after some more lectures. Team Ashwamedh Foundation is doing great work in Mulanche Samarth Vidyalay Vidyanagari where we are teaching English to vernacular medium students. As the name suggest PROJECT 'Ankur' believes in developing Students early in their life so that they can be moulded properly. Apart from English, we took some interactive sessions on speed maths, science topics etc. We played several educative games and kept quizzes etc. Students also showed their talents by completing the assignments given by us. Project Ankur was carried out under the able leadership of Project Co-Ordinator Sneha Sharma under the guidance of Operations head Mr. Abdul Hakim Ansari. Many members and volunteers participated in the Project Ankur and gave their valuable time to the cause. They enjoyed teaching students and working with Ashwamedh Foundation. In the Month of July I gave a Lecture in HKIMSR college on CSR in India. 9 students from this college volunteers two Months for Project Ankur and completed their CSR projects under me, 
Apart from Project Ankur we also carried out many activities, healthcare camps and events, educational trips this year. You can like our Page of Facebook and also visit our website www.ashwamedhfoundation.org to know more about Ashwamedh Foundation. 
      I am sharing our video of Journey of Ashwamedh Foundation in the calendar year 2015 here. Do watch it. Keep Supporting Ashwamedh Foundation.

             Review of the Financial year 2022-23   On the 19th February 2023, I decided to visit Jivdani Mata temple in Virar to take blessings of Maa Jivdani. I took my nephew Yash with me as I had no plans to climb the steps for the temple. We used Funicular train route to go up and come down from the Mountain. Ashwamedh Foundation NGO was founded on 1st August 2012 by me to work in Child Education and Development Sector. We completed 10 long years on 1st August 2022. Also 19th February 2023 marked 5 years completion of Ratneya Group (formerly known as Doddamani Group) which I started on 19th Feb 2018 with first brand Stocksbaazigar - The ultimate wealth creator.

Before 2012, I tried to establish many businesses but I failed within 2 to 3 years. Hence when I registered Ashwamedh Foundation, I prayed to Maa Jivdani with all my heart and requested her to please

I hate Gandhi

Image
Image courtesy: Bigstock                 "I hate Gandhi" my student said loudly without any hesitation.  I started looking at his face with shock. "What? Why do you hate him?" I asked him.      He started giving me some reasons which were obviously not his 'own'.              He was just 14 yrs old kid and was blaming Mahatma Gandhi for partition of India. He even called Gandhiji 'Taklya' once or twice during his argument. I was quite angry on him but didn't scold him, as I was eager to know why he hates Gandhi? According to him Gandhiji is 'root-cause' of 'terrorism' in India. He gave reference of those '55 crore rupees' which India gave to Pakistan during partition. I was not at all amazed by his (childish) knowledge as I understood within few minutes that he was explaining me something, which his father had explained him earlier. I just warned him not to use any bad words against anyone; and told him to learn to respe
