About Sugathi

Education improves the level of human well being. Basic education covering reading, writing, studying basic sciences and doing arithmetic is considered as a crucial aspect of quality of life.

Sugathi (which means welfare or bliss) is a group started with an aim of working for social development by contributing in the areas of basic education and child development. Sugathi firmly believes that these are the areas of great relevance with respect to the future of children.

Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam says in his book Indomitable Spirit . "A scene appears in front of me where there is a child, a teenager, an adult and a leader. All of them are facing a situation of human need, but each one reacts differently. The child asks , "What can you do for me?" The teenager says , "I want to do it alone." The young person proclaims, "Let us do it together." The leader offers, "What can I do for you?" The education system has a tremendous responsibility to transform a child into a leader – the transformation from "What can you do for me?" to "What can I do for you?". These leaders, as enlightened Indian citizens, work for the development of society as a whole.

Short term goals

1.Initially, we help the organizations/ charitable societies/ NGOs , which support the school education of the poor and underprivileged children. Our help can be of any kind i.e., infrastructural or voluntary support.

2.Giving our time to children is as important as donating money.We can spend our free time with them on a regular basis. We can teach them basic Maths, Sciences and English etc . We can organize events say games, painting , singing, quiz programs or anything which makes their mind sharp and brings out the creativity. We will conduct these kind of workshops and activities in Government schools also.

Long term objectives

1. We will address the grass root problems prevailing in the Indian education system viz., out-of-school children, school dropouts and quality of education etc.

2.We will sponsor the education of meritorious but poor children at school level.

3.We will help Government schools to have conducive environment.

Sugathi's plan to visit to Samskar

Sugathi always believed in the philosophy "Giving time to someone is as important as giving money". Though Samskar is the organization we have been supporting right from the beginning, we could not do any voluntary activities there. There are a couple of reasons behind this. Samskar is located in a remote place called Varni and needs 5 hours travel from Hyderabad. Moreover, we have only a few volunteers in Hyderabad and it is practically difficult for the volunteers from other places to visit Samskar often.

Going to Varni very often may be difficult but visiting once or twice in an year may not be. So we planned for one full day Sugathi programme at Samskar. We have a long weekend during Ugadi in March. (Ugadi falls on 27th March, Friday). Here is the itinerary.

Outstation members can reach HYD on 27th Mar - Friday, morning and leave for Varni on the same day evening. HYD based members join us in the journey. We will conduct the activities on 28th Mar until the evening and shall try to reach HYD by midnight. If we cant come back to HYD on that day, we will start early in the morning on the next day i.e, 29th Mar, Sunday. Members will plan journeys from HYD to their respective places as they wish. Feel free to contact Srinath @ 9886777878 or Pavan @ 9980199133 in case of any doubts.
