Volunteering is vital as it fosters a sense of community, compassion, and social responsibility. It enables individuals to contribute their time and skills for the betterment of others, creating a positive impact on society. Through volunteering, people build connections, gain valuable experiences, and collectively work towards creating a more empathetic and supportive world.
In 2023, I actively participated in a commendable campaign organized by the Municipality Corporation of Chandigarh aimed at fostering environmental awareness and responsible waste management practices. As a dedicated volunteer, I engaged in a series of impactful initiatives, primarily focusing on enlightening students in various government schools. My role involved delivering compelling speeches and practical demonstrations to elucidate the importance of the three Rs – Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle – in our daily lives.
During these sessions, I passionately conveyed the significance of minimizing waste generation, adopting sustainable practices, and maintaining cleanliness in our surroundings. By effectively communicating these principles to the students, I aimed to instill a sense of environmental responsibility and empower them to become agents of positive change. As a recognition of my active involvement, I was honored with a volunteer certificate by the Municipality Corporation of Chandigarh, affirming my commitment to contributing towards a cleaner and more sustainable future. This experience not only enriched my understanding of environmental issues but also enhanced my ability to communicate and inspire positive actions in the community.
The Secretary and Social Welfare Member Incharge of Sant Nirankari Mandal, Mr. Joginder Sukhija, shared that the initiative, inspired by the motto 'Clean Water, Clean Mind,' will simultaneously take place in 27 States and Union Territories, spanning 900 cities and over 1500 locations across India. The central objective of this campaign is to enlighten the public on preserving water bodies for the benefit of future generations, promoting a healthier future.
In Chandigarh, the members of Nirankari Sewadal and Sadh Sangat will participate in "Project Amrit," focusing on cleaning the surroundings of Sant Nirankari Satsang Bhawans.
Launched in 2023 by the Sant Nirankari Mission and the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, 'Project Amrit' was initiated to honor the cleaning drive, inspired by the teachings of Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj. The project's primary aims include water body conservation, cleanliness promotion through awareness campaigns within local communities. The overarching goal is to enhance the cleanliness of various water bodies, such as beaches, rivers, lakes, ponds, wells, springs, etc. This environmental preservation endeavor received widespread praise and respect from all sectors of society, making the program a tremendous success.
I too participated in this project by cleaning a small river channel and ground close Sahid udam Singh colony, TDI Pull, Mohali.
In 2022, I eagerly volunteered for Qbiz, a unique and impactful initiative that brought together individuals passionate about fostering positive change and innovation. As a dedicated volunteer, I actively contributed my time and skills to support Qbiz's mission, whether it was organizing events, assisting with logistics, or engaging with participants. This experience not only allowed me to be part of a dynamic and inspiring community but also provided me with valuable insights into the intersection of business and innovation. Volunteering for Qbiz was a fulfilling journey that enriched my understanding of collaboration, leadership, and the potential for positive transformation within the business landscape.
In 2022, I actively participated in the enlightening event, "Pariksha Pe Charcha." This engaging platform, hosted by a prominent figure, offered a unique opportunity to discuss and address the challenges associated with exams. As a participant, I found solace in the insightful conversations that not only alleviated my exam-related stress but also provided practical tips for effective exam preparation. The event fostered a sense of camaraderie among participants, allowing us to share experiences and learn from one another. "Pariksha Pe Charcha" was more than just a forum; it was a valuable experience that equipped me with a renewed perspective on handling academic pressures and thriving during examination periods.
In a meaningful act of service, I volunteered at a blood donation camp where my responsibilities encompassed crucial aspects of the donation process. Tasked with entering the essential information of prospective blood donors, I ensured that each participant met the necessary criteria for donation, contributing to the overall efficiency and safety of the event. Additionally, I played a pivotal role in the post-donation phase by providing refreshments to those who generously donated blood. This experience not only allowed me to actively engage with the community but also reinforced the importance of facilitating a smooth and comfortable environment for blood donors.
Volunteering at the blood donation camp was a gratifying experience, as it underscored the significance of collective efforts in promoting and sustaining life-saving initiatives.
