NATIONAL SOCIAL SOCIETY
ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012
Message from Chairman Dear Friends,
As I write this message, there is much change and promise of progress and development around us. There are fresh faces heading our government and we expect rapid growth in all areas, as the Development sector continues to do its best for bringing about social change in India
NATIONAL SOCIAL SOCIETY encourages volunteers to contribute their time, skills and energies to enhance the work Being carried out at the grass root level. We are happy to record that in the two years since our inception, we have grown from placing a handful of volunteers/interns with partner NGOs, to forging new collaborations, partnerships and programs in order to strengthen our volunteer program.
Young people are the strength and asset of a nation, and it is in the age bracket of 18-35 years that the maximum number of our volunteers/interns comes. The largest numbers of these are postgraduates who have contributed to programs that fitted their specialization or abilities best. Their contribution directly impacts the lives of many with whom they interact. It is heartening to note that the ratio of women volunteers/interns is steadily increasing.
Our mission is directed towards bringing about positive social change. Through our training workshops we influence volunteers and groups/communities within which they work, and encourage them to contribute to the development sector. By consolidating activities and expanding our collaborations, we strive to add value to the work of partner NGOs.
I would like to thank all our committed volunteers, partner NGOs, supporters, trainers and the Joining Hands team for all their hard work and dedication fellow trustees.
Best wishes
Yours Sincerely
SANJAY BAIRWA
(Chairman)
ABOUT US
About organization National Social Society solicits support to reach out to the first 300 girl children. The
NSS concept motivates father to take charge of their daughters and ensure that the
daughters Rights are protected in every way and provide a secure and dignified future.
However, the fathers are financially poor and that is one of the reasons that the girls are
out of school. Once the girl children have reached the required standard of education,
they shall be mainstreamed into Govt. Schools, where education is free thereafter.
Although the mainstreamed child in the Govt. School gets free education to avoid them
dropping out and acquire the requisite quality and standards, the child has to be
assisted with "Remedial Education" for which similar expenses are to be incurred on
similar numbers for at least 2/3 years. As they settle down, the support can be
withdrawn.
NATIONAL SOCIAL SOCIETY is an NGO that aims to provide people from the world
over the opportunity to work in evaluated and credible NGOs in India. Programs are
selected that best match the skills, area of interest, expertise, and time availability of the
individual, with a view to strengthen and add value to the ongoing work of NGOs in
India’s social development sector.

this program. The society appointed
experience teachers to teach the
students without any problem.
Women Teaching Center
Gender inequality in education is extreme. Girls
are less likely to access school, to remain in
school or to achieve in education. Education
helps men and women claim their rights and
realize their potential in the economic, political
and social arenas. It is also the single most
powerful way to lift people out of poverty.
Education plays a particularly important role as a
foundation for girls’ development towards adult
life. It should be an intrinsic part of any strategy
to address the gender-based discrimination
against women and girls that remains prevalent
in many societies. To make women more
innovative and creative we started Education for
Women. We have provided training for women
those are working in houses and not able to
speak hindi very well..We are trying to educate
them or better communication in their life.
NSS’s Literacy Programme for illiterate women within the age group of 18 to 45 years,
who have been made literate in slum area of Delhi. Several women participants from
slum areas were benefited by this program Scheme of Condensed Courses of
Education was initiated by NSS in 2008 to cater to the needs of adult girls / women who
could not join mainstream education system or were school dropouts. The scheme aims
to provide educational opportunities to girls / women above the age of 15 years along
with additional inputs of skill development /
Education of women can be helpful in eradicating many social evils such as dowry
problem, unemployment problem, etc. Social peace can easily be established
Girls Child Day
The purpose of this day is to focus
attention on the depleting female to
male ratio and take a stand on
issues of female foeticide, domestic
violence and malnutrition in
children. Campaigns around these 3
major concerns are highlighted and
the government tries to raise
awareness as well as propagate gender equality among people. We celebrated this day
with children with lots of fun and activities.
Skill Development Program
The NSS undertaken youth counseling center at, Delhi the main areas of our
intervention are education, community health, socio-cultural unity, national character

the youth groups for their carrier building, educational supports, information on
development policies and avenues of employment and self-employment etc.
This center is planning to fulfill the present needs of youths (both student and non-
student) as at the present juncture the socio-political and educational systems affected
the youth force leading the youth unrest and violence. Efforts are on to cover at least
thousand youths per annum under this program effectively. During the year 20010-11,
approximately 248 youth including 98 females were provide with counseling and
guidance services for their career settlements and other problems. We are mainly
interested in empowerment local community by making them politically aware of their
rights and giving them economic strength.
MID DAY MEAL TO CHILDREN

in the country, encouraging children to attend school and partake of nutritious and
healthy meals. This has not only increased attendance of children at schools but also
gives children the required amount of nutrition.

Vocational Training Center Vocational education plays an important role
in providing employment to people and in
raising their standard of loving. Keeping in
view of importance of such type of
education, one tailoring and cutting centre
training centre were opened in Slum area of
Vasant Kunj. By these training centers 25
women in tailoring and cutting trade were
trained properly. The duration of these training
centers was of six months. Out of these
trainers, about 20 women are doing tailoring
and cutting job work and they are earning
handsome income by getting these training.
Their standard of living has also improved.
Now they are self dependent and helping
their families.
Rural Development
Local social workers and students actively
supported us in our rural development
programme. We propose to carry out major
development work in villages in the future.
We are now in the process of contacting
concerned government agencies for
organizing joint collaborative progressive
programs in the future.
We executed different rural development
programmes with the help of the local
people. We got them involved in
repairing of village roads repaired. They
actively participated in repairing and
cleaning of village drains and cleaning and
chlorinating drinking water wells.
Rural development was traditionally
associated with agriculture. The policy shift
towards integrated rural development
reflects the complex linkages and
interactions within the system of overall rural
development. Putting too much emphasis
on agriculture and ignoring its linkages to
the rest of the economy could result in analytical bias. Rural development provides an
alternative to agriculture as a source of incomes and livelihoods.
Our Society executed different rural development programmes with the help of the local
people in rural areas. We involved them in improving their own fields of work. We
received active support from local social workers, students and also from
the local common people. With our combined efforts we were able to carry out a
number of development works like repairs of village roads, cleaning of drains and
chlorinating drinking water wells.
Our purpose is to create consciousness about the current position and act as a catalyst
role to facilitate collective mass actions so as to assert their rights and entitlements. To
provide critical inputs to enhance their ability to fight structural causes of poverty and
demand larger change. To set up models for replication and to build capability for
addressing local issues and initiating based activities.
