Above mentioned are famous personalities around the globe. They are an example for those that tend to give up on their dreams due to different kinds of hardships they suffer, especially those that suffer from disabilities. The disabled people are also different and need proper help and guidance which helps them to overcome certain problems in life. As the greatest creation of God, we should always be ready to provide the necessary help to people from all sections of life.

It is the right of every human to receive proper medical care. It is obvious that disabled people need more medical care and attention than normal people. They need proper equipment and aid to lead a stable life. Narayan Seva Sansthan provides proper medical care to all the people suffering from disabilities. They provide them with corrective surgeries in their chain of hospitals and give them proper care in their physiotherapy centers.

NSS also runs mobile vans that go to remote places to give the necessary medical care to the poor and discarded section of the society. Here we can see how people of various age groups suffer from various disabilities which give us vast yet in-depth knowledge about the problems faced by those people.

The people's disabilities need all kinds of support, so it is of the highest priority that they should also be treated as equals and have access to proper judicial help and assistance. No amount is too small. The world is a funny place. The reality of life is totally different than what is said. People say that money does not matter, only good heart matters but the ugly truth is that this world runs on money.

If you do not have the purchasing power, you cannot buy what you want. You will not be able to fulfill your desires if cannot afford it. Begging does not bring any pride or acknowledgment in this world. Either you have for what is yours or snatch the opportunity and use it to its full potential and to have that power to take what is yours, you need money, and that is the bare and ugly truth of the world live in.

With the rapid growth in population in the last several decades, mainly after the modernization and growing facilities. But the job market has not been able to keep up its pace which has resulted in an ever-growing trend in the rate of unemployment.

If one does not have the skills, then it is very tough for him to be employed, and this issue is far worse for the disabled people. The people with special needs cannot perform a task at a similar speed to other normal people and they need additional aid too. These issues create a problem for disabled people. Narayan Seva Sansthan gives job training to the disabled people who go through corrective surgeries by their hospitals and other people who come to them for help.

They give them valuable training so that they become employment ready and can earn their own living. The Sansthan knows that this world is a digital world and everything that happens, involves computers and mobile phones.

So, NSS provides those people with training to repair computer hardware. They are also taught about the basic functions and operations. They are taught to use computer applications which are widely used in almost all sections of work, like MS Office. As of now, in India, there are more mobile phones than there are people, so it is common sense to know about how to repair phones.

The Sansthan realizes the need of the hour and imparts these valuable pieces of knowledge to the people with disabilities and who are coming from the poor and lowly background which massively empowers those people. Besides needing extra help, disabled people, mostly in India, come from a poor and deprived background. They often do not receive even primary education.

The hardships they face in life pull them back when they want to move forward towards a happy future. People with disabilities face difficulties that just never seem to end. They do not receive a proper education, which inhibits in their path to acquire the necessary job skills which further results in them not getting a respectable job that ultimately leads to a life of endless trouble and dissatisfaction.

Narayan Seva Sansthan is a non-profit organisation that, since its establishment in , has been a beacon of hope for these poor unprivileged people. This nonprofit organization has shown that every human deserves to be treated as a human. Everyone deserves proper food, proper shelter, proper education, and lastly, the means to a happy life.

To fulfill their mission to give every life a chance to a happy life, the Sansthan started its Empowerment Centre. They believe that the core of a person to be satisfied with his life, he first needs to be employed. When a person is employed, he becomes financially indecent. Without any kind of gender discrimination, disabled people are taught how to sew and make new clothes.

This gives wings to their imagination and creativity and also makes them employment ready, either they can work in a shop or use that skill for domestic purposes.

Besides training those people, the Sansthan also gives them sewing machines which are a massive help for them. To date, NSS has provided poor people with sewing machines. The empowerment center of Narayan Seva Sansthan has provided more than disabled people with vocational training.

This training helped them to get a job, which laid down the path for them to have a happy and satisfying life. It will host all the humanitarian works of Narayan Seva Sansthan and will be a one-stop dream fulfillment for the poor and disabled people.

We are witnessing healthcare and education become highly expensive while World of Humanity is a one-stop solution where everything is free of cost. This is a noble cause to support and bring more differently-abled into the mainstream. Within 3 years, the World of Humanity Center will become operational which will provide services like food and clothing and also education to the kids.

The Sansthan will bear the cost of all the free diagnostic checks and treatments. They will provide care after the operation which includes the medication and the physiotherapy in the bedded hospital. The WOH will also be the abode of the social works of the Sansthan. There they will provide vocational training, teach them to do Art and Crafts, repair mobiles and computers and will give them all the knowledge necessary to be eligible for employment. You can play your part and help build this center when you donate money to an NGO.

Do we ever stop and think about how lucky we are? How blessed we are? We have eyes to see the beautiful creation of God, ears to hear the sweet sound of birds, tongue to taste the delicious food of our mothers, mouth to express love to our loved ones.

We have fully functioning hands that give us the freedom to play and legs give us to travel this beautiful world. We have all these things but still, we often curse God and ourselves because of something insignificant. We are blessed with so many good things, we can see, hear, taste, feel, and explore the beauty around us. Sometimes, we should stop and take a moment and appreciate all the good around us, and what we are naturally capable of doing, which is only a dream for countless others.

In India alone, there are more than 3 crore people suffer from some kind of physical disability. These people suffer from mobility problems.

They cannot move freely. They cannot visit all the places they would like to do. Going on adventures and trekking mission is only a dream for many of those people. We can only imagine the pain and suffering they go through every day. They not only suffer from these physical problems but also psychological issues. They are often reminded of their disabilities. Moreover, we as human beings, are also not completely inclusive to these people. The parks we have built, the museums we have constructed, the malls we go for entertainment, most of these public places are not disabled people friendly.

All these places should have wheelchair ramp assistance so that the people in a wheelchair can easily visit those places and have fun like other normal people. Nearly 43 percent of kids who suffer from some kind of disability are planning to drop out of studies due to difficulties faced by them while taking part in online education. Because of this ongoing pandemic, all the public institutions are closed which has forced the teachers to conduct their classes online.

But, though this a good idea, it is not inclusive for all the kids. When Swabhiman, a community-based organization working for the rights of people with disabilities conducted a survey in Odisha, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Tripura, Chennai, Sikkim, Nagaland, Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir in the month of May that recorded the information provided by people.

It was found that There are some non-profit organizations that are serving the handicapped and disabled through physical aid and vocational training programs.

However, these NGOs need our support and donation for Divyang to continue with these services. The life of a disabled is never an easy one. Every day, from the moment they wake up, an innumerable number of challenges waiting for him. The tasks like washing our face, brushing our teeth, combing our hair, and another daily task which we perform daily without a speck of any trouble, the disabled people find it particularly hard to get these tasks done.

Either need a person to help them or years of practice which makes them self- dependent. After getting the morning routine done, it is now for them, like us to face the cruel world. Kids with disabilities often go to schools which are specially made for them. The teaching faculty and the other staff are all very loving and caring for those kids, but not all kid is lucky to have parents who take care of them. We have often read in the newspapers and seen in the news how parents abandon their disabled kids.

These parents see their disabled kids as a burden on their shoulders and they just cannot afford to take care of their kids. No mother wants to abandon their kid, the child she bore within herself for 9 months, the pain she goes through during delivery of that child, I can only wonder how much pain she goes through which forces her to abandon her kid. When we are not able to do something which our peers are able to do, it is obvious that we suffer from an inferiority complex.

The people who suffer from various disabilities, cannot do things at a similar speed as his normal friends. Disabled people face discrimination on a daily basis. In this competitive and overpopulated world, finding proper employment is tough enough for us, then think about the hardships they go through.

Due to his physical disability, he faces discrimination due to his physical shortcomings. Some people feel powerful when they use their power on the weak. This bullying of people with disabilities is a shame for all of humanity. This social discrimination is never a good thing to see, never mind being on the receiving end of it. Narayan Seva Sansthan is known as the top charity organization in world, providing an umbrella for such people who are bullied by society.

The Sansthan provides them with proper medical care, education, job training, and the opportunity to earn a place in society. They help them and aid them in facing the challenges of everyday life. NSS also provides those people who suffer from discrimination and inferiority complex, a platform to show their talent and be recognized by all. This helps the people suffering physical disability be happy with his life and earn their own living.

He earns his employment and thus empowerment. The pandemic has put enormous pressure on the well being of all the people, and specifically on the disabled people.

Similarly, for people who are blind, they need someone to hold their hands to take them around. People who have intellectual disabilities need a caretaker for their personal and emotional needs, etc.

Social distancing is impossible for people with disabilities in general. Covid helplines are not accessible to the deaf and only very few centres are providing interpreting services. Alim Chandani, founder of Access Mantra Foundation also adds that communication for people who are deaf will now become difficult with the mandatory use of masks, "It would become double the effort for us the deaf community to get access due to the blockage of facial expressions or not being able to read lips.

The problems faced by the Youth of India The world we live in is a very unforgiving one. There are cutthroat ruthlessness and betrayal all around. The world is filled with crabs who just want to progress at your cost.

You have to be incredibly lucky and fortunate to have good and genuine people and friends in your life. And people who suffer from disabilities, find the world harder. The opportunities available to them are much less and they find it extremely hard to get the respect and acknowledgment they deserve.

There are people who have a tough time even considering these people as equals and thus find discrimination to be the easiest way to communicate with people with disabilities. In the last week of May, the unemployment rate of India stood at We also have to note that the rate of labor participation was marginal to What is stuttering the development of the people? This happens mainly due to the poor background of the kids, so they get in the job market to do menial jobs so that they can earn some money and help out their families.

This trend continues to higher standards as the Institute for Policy Research Studies PRS reports that many children leave their studies due to poverty and other major issues.

Though this a major advantage, the lack of opportunity for these kids to have the proper vocational training and skill learning will leave this enormous advantage null and void. What should be done to improve the condition of the people? Narayan Seva Sansthan runs its own multipurpose vocational academy. They impart the necessary skills to the people who ask for help. They are like the friend, philosopher, and guide who is always there by the side of the poor people, when they are left alone, and they suffer in despair.

The Sansthan, under the leadership of Mr. Prashant Agarwal, is always working hard to provide those people with an equal platform who have always been disregarded by society. They give them a valuable education of life and they teach them the necessary skills by which they are able to earn their living.

Being financially independent is a major step towards having a good life. If you are able to support yourself financially, people do not look down on you, rather, you earn their respect. As they highly prioritize the employment and empowerment of the people with disabilities, the Sansthan provides free courses for skill development and various training schemes which trains the people to repair smartphones, computer hardware, sewing, and many more, depending on the learning capability of those people.

These programs are run with the view to lifting the Divyangs from the grasp of poverty and desperation. NSS helps the Divyangs people in all possible ways so that they become self- dependent in life and earn their own food. Besides providing valuable skills, they are also given the tools and raw materials which improves their chances of employability. Free Basic Computer Course This 21 st century is the age of computers.

Every work that is being done, involves working on a computer. Knowing the basics of computers is a must to be eligible for being employed by an organization. Narayan Seva Sansthan does a great job of providing the Divyangs with the knowledge of computers. The people who suffer from disabilities are treated by the Sansthan are also given training on the basic working of a computer.

The operating systems, typing in a proper way, the basics of MS Office, and many more. After doing the necessary courses and getting certified, they learn the necessary skills and make themselves available in the job market. Mobile Repairing Course Besides making the poor people learn about the basics of computer operations and hardware, they are also taught the skill to repair mobile phones. They are taught about the electronics of the phone, phone communication, assembling and disassembling a smartphone, details of the Integrated Circuits and troubleshooting any problem.

After the Divyangs complete the course, they get a job and some people even choose to start a shop of their own to repair mobile phones. Any donation for skill development in NSS goes to its vocational training programs to support divyangs. Sewing and Tailoring Course The Sansthan also provides sewing courses to both men and women free of cost. The poor people from the disregarded parts of the society are given training so that they become professionals in stitching and tailoring.

After the completion, so that they are able to do stitch for professional reasons as well as on a personal level, these people are provided with sewing machines without charging these poor people a single rupee. Both men and women are vastly helped by this program. They are able to make clothes that are worn by the Divyangs and shown off in the talent shows. This gives the designers both an opportunity to earn their living and as well as a platform to show their skills.

This massively helps to earn money as they regularly get orders to make clothes for women like sarees, blouses, intricate work of zari on the clothes, and also school uniforms for kids.

Modern school for orphans and poor kids Besides giving the elder the required vocational training to be employable, Narayan Seva Sansthan provides education to kids who are from a poor and underprivileged background. They are provided proper education, taught English which is a vital job requirement and are also taught to use computers. NSS has reached about children and helped them with proper education which a part of their long-term goal to provide them with a better future.

Narayan Seva Sansthan has focused on making the lives of poor and suffering people since Through various campaigns, they have been a personification of kindness and humanitarian work. These philanthropic works have made the Sansthan the Best NGO in India and they look forward to keeping on providing help to the people in need. If anyone wants to enroll for these training courses and want to improve their living conditions, they should get in touch with us by clicking Free Vocational Training Courses.

In a country of more than crore people, providing food, security, education, and health care is always a massive challenge. As the current situation stands, the number of doctors and hospitals available for people is much less than satisfactory.

Another issue that is of major concern in India is the poverty level. These people are not able to afford even basic medical facilities, and they never even dare to dream about private hospitals. The fees charged by private hospitals on a daily basis are probably more than the yearly income of these people. The government must take care of its citizens, providing them with the basic necessities and amenities is always a major priority for the government. But providing help and reaching to all of the crore people is a tough task, to say the least.

So, Non-Governmental Organizations often come forward to help the people where the government falls short. Narayan Seva Sansthan is one such NGO which provides help to the poor and unprivileged section of the society free of cost. To provide the care to these people, the Sansthan has opened a chain of hospitals that are focused to provide proper health care to poor people of the society.

Those hospitals are as listed below — 1. Prashant Aggarwal. Their hard work has helped grow the Sansthan into multiple folds. And now they want to build this massive project which will be nothing less than a boon to humanity. This home of wellness will have all the state-of-the-art technologies which will be focused to help the poor, without charging them for the service. They provide free food for all the members of the families, education for the kids, employment training for the adults, and organizing mass weddings.

They do all this work for the poor and the disabled people who have very few people to take care of them. To be said frankly, it will be a one-stop service centre for all the poor and unprivileged people of our society. Lest I forget to mention, Narayan Seva Sansthan operates on disabled people and provides them with the necessary tools to make their life more fruitful. They provide prosthetic limbs and calipers to physically disabled people. They also provide canes, crutches, normal and powered wheelchairs, and tricycles which helps physically handicapped people massively as those aids and appliances improve their mobility.

Realities of Life Is life fair to everyone? Does everybody get the same opportunities in life? No, life is not fair, and it definitely is not equal. But life is a challenge that presents itself to everyone with its own set of challenges and obstacles.

Different people have to face different difficulties throughout their lifetime. Some people face challenges later on In their life, and some are born with their own challenges. We often see that kids are born with various problems mainly physical. So, let us go on a journey and learn about how a person with physical disabilities, either since birth or due to some unfortunate incident go through their life.

Different people cope with their disabilities in different ways. Some people are born with their disabilities, so accepting it and leading a life with the problems come much easier to him than a person who is inflicted injuries by fate. Humans are the most developed beings on this Earth. We learn to live; in the situation, we belong. We make the habits in our life. So, when due to some cruel accident, a person is forced to accept his disabled body, it is a very tough thing for him.

The toughest thing of all is acceptance. Accepting that your life has changed in a drastic manner, you will not be able to do things in the same way as you used to do before. You will not be able to run like the wind or play with your mates like before, accepting these harsh realities is an awfully hard task. Accepting that your life will be limited to wheelchairs or medical aids or calipers, you will need the external support of crutches or some other adaptive technology just to do the basic things, gives a huge amount of trauma to that person.

Disability in India In India, according to the survey report of the National Statistical Office in , it was seen that the number of people who live their life with some kind of disability is 2. This statistic also counts people with physical disabilities, i. The report added that "In India, the prevalence of disability percentage of persons with disability in the population was 2.

Prevalence of disability was higher among males than females. Among persons with disabilities age 3 to 35 years, Percentage of persons with disabilities of age 3 to 35 years, who were ever enrolled in an ordinary school, was Currently, only It was also seen that, among the people suffering from disabilities who are over the age of 15 years, the unemployment rate was 4.

Free Artificial Limbs and Prosthetics The people with some sort of physical disability, need an adaptive technology which helps them to perform the daily tasks comfortably. Their workshop makes tools for people who are specifically made to help them.

To date, NSS has distributed calipers which have helped the physically disabled people massively. Narayan Seva Sansthan Udaipur organized a free artificial limb distribution camp in Aligarh to serve the aged and the underprivileged. Free artificial limbs and calipers were distributed in this camp to 40 Divyangs. In the same order, similar camps are being organized by Sansthan in other cities for the differently-abled beneficiaries. In both of these distribution camps, several people came forward to make donations for operations so more people could be helped.

Prashant Agarwal, the president of Narayana Seva Sansthan, says, "We are also providing education and vocational training to the differently-abled with the treatment of economically weaker sections corrective surgery so that they can develop their full potential and become self-reliant and become independent. The prostatic and orthotic expert at Narayan Seva Sansthan, Mr. Now, Narayan Seva Sansthan is working on organizing artificial limb distribution camps in various cities like Agra, Ahmedabad, Aligarh, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Jaipur.

In over camps organized by the Sansthan all over India, they have helped 1,13, people to lead a better life and the freedom of movement. With the help of these prosthetic limbs, now they are able to do their normal activities without any difficulties. NGOs like Narayan Seva Sansthan are exceedingly rare who take upon themselves to give the proper treatment to a disabled person. They provide for all the medical therapies, from surgeries to physiotherapies at their own hospitals.

Then they also provide the people with various adaptive devices like wheelchairs, calipers, prosthetic limbs, and various things that help the person to lead a better life. The Sansthan does all these humanitarian work free of charge and they believe that serving people is as holy as serving God. What is the first thing which comes to your mind when you get a cut? When you fall down while running and cut open your leg and it starts bleeding, what do you do?

First aid, right? Yes, whenever we receive any kind of physical damage, the first priority is to wash that wound, then sanitize it, and then give the required medical attention, which may be as simple as applying an ointment or maybe a bit serious like applying some stitches to close the open wound.

This is what we have been taught from our childhood, which is a very sensible thing, but what happens when the wound is not about any physical damage but something which has hurt us emotionally or psychologically?

As we all know, India got its political freedom in due to the work and sacrifices of countless brave hearts. They gave us this freedom so that we become free from all kinds of unhealthy bondage and live a life filled with happiness and satisfaction. They taught us to treat each other equally, no matter the gender, the caste, or the financial background.

They dreamt that every Indian would have a free mind which will always strive for the betterment of themselves and the others. But, even 70 years after our independence, we still find people looking down on each other, shaming each other, and having an unhealthy attitude with others. Why is this so? Like the five fingers in our hand, no person is exactly similar to the next person. They have different pasts and experiences which leave a substantial impact on that person which gives them a unique personality of their own.

One may not know what impacts the mental health of another person. What words he is sensitive too and what hurts him the most. Any person can be suffering from a mental illness from within.

Our society is not so forgiving and empathetic. Still today, people who come forward with their mental health issues, they are considered to be weak and are often looked down upon. Even we are educated, we still lack this sensitivity towards other people.

These are among some of the challenges faced with insuring mental illness. There are many kinds of mental illness which are still considered a taboo in India. Anxiety disorders - Adolescence anxiety levels when increases are a major source of mental illness. This happens due to social phobias like agoraphobia and claustrophobia, panic attacks, and other problems.

If these problems are left untreated, they cause severe health issues later in life. Bipolar affective disorder — Also known as bipolar depression or manic depression, causes a person to experience periods of depression and elation.

The exact cause of this problem is still unknown but genetic predisposition has been established. Obsessive-compulsive disorder — A person becomes obsessed with certain images or impulses that cause him to take erratic actions. To treat these kinds of acute problems, professional psychological support from psychiatrists. Depression — The most common cause of mental disorder that people suffer from is depression. Often in life, we come across situations that make us feel incredibly sad, we find it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel and we lose all hope.

We lose interest in life and do not get enjoyment in any activity. The severity of depression depends on form people to people and from time to time. Depression has an awfully bad influence on people. They often have suicidal thoughts. They see suicide as the easiest way out of all the problems he is facing in life.

People should take care of their mental health in the same way they take care of their physical health. They should seek professional help who will diagnose their problems and suggest the best way to recover from that illness.

It may be psychiatric care or certain medications. These antidepressants give the patient relief from mild to acute depression and are one of the safest and have minimal to no side effects on the consumer. Serotonin is a chemical messenger that transports signals between the brain and the nerve cells.

These medicines can also be used to cure other mental illness apart of depression, like anxiety disorders.

To raise awareness of the different mental health issues which various people suffer, World Mental Health Day is observed on the 10th of October every year. This day gives all the people who are working to provide a better atmosphere for people who wants to cure their psychological issues and allows them to lead a happy life.

Narayan Seva Sansthan works every day to provide people suffering from different problems a way to cure their issues. Whether it is a physical problem or a psychological one, NSS welcomes everyone with open arms and give them the necessary medical aid.

They have professional and experienced doctors and state of the art technology which gives the patients the care they have been longing for. Everything the Sansthan does, they do with love and care and treat every patient equally. Even you can help us in this mission, and not just from donations.

If you would like to do NGO volunteering in your free time, you are always welcome at Narayan Seva Sansthan to help people in any way you can. Food, what is food?

A means to stay alive. Or the reason to live? Everything we do in life, either from gaining proper education to do exercise regularly, every big or small thing contributes to our future.

But everything important finds its place after food. The need to satisfy our hunger is of prime importance in all living beings. From a single cell amoeba to the most developed multi-celled organism, human beings. Every day we need a certain quantity of food which acts as fuel and gives us the energy to go on.

Along with quantity, our diet should also be balanced as we must consume all the necessary nutrients and macro-nutrients that keeps us safe from various diseases. Our country India is the second most populated country, only after China and the rate at which our population has been growing over the last couple of decades, it will not be long before we clinch the top position. This huge population comes with its positives and negatives.

India can offer one of the cheapest labor in the world market which is only possible due to our enormous population, but to sustain this population and keep them healthy, they need to be given proper food which we have not been able to do in the recent years.

As per the Global Hunger Index of , India stands at a lowly th spot among countries, which is a major fall from its ranking of Of all the children age 6 to 23 months in India, only 9. The report also adds the rate of child wasting is highest in India with an incredibly high rate of These huge numbers which show us how the poverty-stricken people are affected by hunger.

Let us learn about some of the causes of Hunger In India- 1. Lack of access to nutritious food and safe drinking water — It is a myth that food is scarce in India. India always produces surplus crops, but the poor people often stay deprived of it.

They are unable to afford proper food for them, their kids, and other members of the family. According to some reports, it is known that This shows how poverty is indirectly leading people towards hunger and thus they become undernourished in India. The poor people do not have access to safe drinking water on a regular basis which adds to the unhygienic practices which are the main cause of them becoming vulnerable to water-borne diseases which directly results in chronic malnutrition.

Conflicts — We often read in the news that poor unprotected people are forced to flee their native place. They have been forcefully driven away from their homes, their land on which they practice farming, which is often their sole source of income. These people are then forced to move to other places, which are foreign to them and they are derived from the basic necessities of life, which starts a vicious cycle of poverty and thus hunger.

Climate change — A problem caused by humans, which they are still doing on a massive scale. The rising sea level has caused major causes of worry for the low-lying coastal regions. In the last couple of decades, it can be seen how many natural disasters like cyclones, droughts, and floods have increased.

These disaster causes major harm to the infrastructure and diseases spread rapidly, all of which results in the suffering of the poor, thus hunger. How to eradicate hunger in India is the major point of discussion. With the massive population in India, and infrastructure which is massively underdeveloped and undermanned, there are long paths to take before all the problems of the poor people are solved. The State of Food Security and Nutrition Act of was formed to give these people nutritional food at affordable prices, but that is still a dream.

With the inability of the states to reach all of its citizens equally and draconian laws like the caste system they still prevailing in various parts of our country, people will keep on suffering. The infrastructure should be appraised and improved which will result in better health and supply of nutrition to all the underprivileged people of India.

Narayan Seva Sansthan works hard daily to provide food to the poverty-stricken and underprivileged people of India. NSS organizes several camps and always works for the good of the humans, which is ultimately the greatest service to God. When the sunsets and the night draw near, a single light from the lamppost 20 meters away becomes the only source of light for so many street dwellers. A half-torn blanket, a shredded asbestos ceiling, and an earthen stove are all the properties of those people.

They are deprived of the basic amenities in life.
