Measures for community improvement

How would you improve your community?

Your community is the one which supports and nurtures you and helps you during difficult times. As a member of such a robust set up it is our duty to strive for its improvement. There are many ways how this can be established, few of which are illustrated here.

1. Be actively invoved in the proceedings of the local administration: Find out the problems that affect the community and work towards reducing them. The most common ones would usually be inprovement in Infrastructure and health care as well as employment opportunities etc., especially so in the rural areas. It would be wise to attend the village panchayat meetings that are held regularly and work with the authorities to bring about speedy redressal of problematic issues.

2. Helping the disabled and elderly: this Can be done by forming a local group and attending to needs of disabled and elderly people in the area who are staying alone. Help can be provided in the form of food, clothing, buying medicines, doctor visits, filling out forms for administrative purposes, making them aware of local schemes under social welfare and availing the benefits of the same etc.

3. Providing services to children in the form of coaching classes, extra curricular classes in music, dance etc. Children are the future of the country and need to be prepared to be future leaders

4.learn and arrange discourse on our culture and its rich heritage: the education system in the country does not impart knowledge of the rich heritage of Bharat. It is vital that citizens of a country know about it’s history so that mistakes are not repeated in the future

5. Arrange programmes for youth on financial literacy, career choices and mental wellness. Youth are the pillars on which the country stands

6. Provide some free service in whatever capacity possible: this can be at a community hall, animal shelter, temples, old age homes etc. This helps us put others before us and inturn relax our minds.
