We all witness the negatives of the society across the world and discuss the same with our fellow companions. After a while we forget about it, always struggling to find a way of how can we help and extend any kind of support. Not everyone is equipped with what is required to bring about a change in this stratum of the society. Can each one of us address world’s hunger and security issues? Or help provide a healthy environment for all? No we all can’t do that.

There are some individuals who have come together and have made their life mission to bring about this change. Their idea is always to empower like minded communities through various CSR arms. We have seen some communities’ working daily to enable people to realize their potential and improve surrounding social and economical life for a better tomorrow.

Skill India Campaign that launched in the year 2015 has gotten a lot of skilled people to come together and contribute to the Prime Minister’s goal. Some of the common issues that are being actively addressed will be discussed in the following paragraphs.

With the rising population and not everybody having the same kind of necessities; good health has become a matter of concern in the nation. Good health is everyone’s basic right but unfortunately not all are blessed with it. So many people in the society are suffering from diseases which they can’t treat and hence can’t control.

Some organizations have taken upon them to support a helping hand and treat this first hand. A lot of CSR activities cater to providing medical aid for under privileged parts of the Indian society. The easiest way is to create health camps around and spread awareness. This is helping a great deal but it will take time because there are many areas suffering from diseases that we don’t even know of.

Our ignorance and neglect has led to energy misuse and abuse. Today the whole world is finding different ways of conserving energy for future. But change starts at home. This means there are so many ways by which each one of us can contribute and save energy which as a result will contribute to the larger goal of conservation of energy.

Organizations around India are helping spread awareness around how this change can easily be brought about by just a change in habits. Small habits like; turning off the lights when not in use, using energy efficient appliances, using rechargeable batteries and so on can go a long way in saving and conserving energy.

Issues like saving of the girl child, child marriage, and basic human rights may not be so common around the world, but in some parts of India this still exists. Skill India Campaign brings organizations together in working towards putting an end to all of this. We salute the organizations that are consistently working independently or with the Prime Minister to give back to the society that is less privileged. The change in such societies in one country can have a positive impact on the rest of the world. We should not stop now.
