Our Initiatives
-
Health Care
Making quality healthcare affordable and accessible has been the objective of the Trust ever since its inception. The Trust has initiated several activities that benefit the rural and urban poor. Various blood donation camps have been organized by this Trust since its inception to help poor people. Apart from organizing health camps and health awareness programmes, the Trust also distributes medicines to economically weaker sections of the society.
-
Education
A secondary school has been run by this Trust for the past ten years, in which free education has been provided to poor children irrespective of their caste, race and creed. School dresses are provided free of cost to these children.
-
Social Rehabilitation & Rural Upliftment
Even after 60 years of Independence, villages in and around Pilibhit continue to remain backward due to a combination of natural, social and economic tribulations. They include illiteracy, unemployment and lack of sanitation, waterborne diseases, malnutrition, alcoholism and scarce medical facilities, among others. The Amar Shaheed Baba Deep Singh Trust seeks to address the needs of society’s most neglected. The Trust is lighting a candle instead of cursing the darkness. Its contribution to reducing these problems may amount to a drop in the ocean today — all the same, the ocean is richer by a drop. Some initiatives taken by us for social rehabilitation and rural upliftment include helping people in disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes and floods, and partnering with various rehabilitation centers (NGOs) that help children, the elderly, the mentally and physically challenged, and street children.
-
Women Empowerment
The condition of rural women in India is still pathetic. We have taken many initiatives for women’s empowerment through economic upliftment, adult education and co-operation programmes. The Trust has facilitated women’s self-help groups through financial assistance for employment ventures. Besides that, education has been provided to women so that they may become self-dependent. The majority of people in the rural area of Pilibhit district are too poor to bear the expense for the marriage of their daughters; for the past many years our Trust has helped these girls by providing financial aid for their marriage, and many times by helping find suitable life partners.
-
Helping Accident Victims
Where people are afraid to help accident victims at the moment of road accidents, our volunteers come forward to assist them — rescuing them to hospitals within no time and providing first aid.
-
Computer Education
As computer education is a must in this fast-changing world, but weaker sections of our society are being deprived of it, our Trust has organized various workshops in rural areas where modular training programs have been conducted to impart basic computer knowledge to the poor and to provide motivation.
-
Providing Employment Opportunities
Our Trust recognizes the talents in the weaker sections of society and aids them in getting the right job. Our Trust has many volunteers who are industrialists; while they are not able to devote much of their time directly, they help in an indirect manner by providing employment opportunities for these people.
