Prior to existence of the institution there was very little awareness towards social services in the area, but there was ample interaction and feeling of cooperation among the habitants of the area. Now, though the emotions still exist in people but a feeling of suspicion can be seen creeping every where into the mind set of people, which eventually indicates decline in mutual faith. It seems so wonderful to me that I have completed 30 years serving in rural area.
Entire community and programmes for it moved hand in hand and inspired us to stride ahead. Our achievements have always been very good. Monthly meetings on 15th of every month have become a big tradition. Even today it is so natural to feel pleasure while experiencing same attraction and liking among ladies and gents towards meeting, their participation in the meetings wearing traditional colorful dresses and enjoying this happy get-together. We have completed our 30 years span of journey with the cooperation of hundreds of workers, intellectuals and people associated with Government and public. Today it is our opportunity and privilege to honor those deserving villagers, intellectuals and donors who have helped us in completing, the journey till date. They will always be honored and remain source of inspiration for us.
One of the great advantage of working together by taking all the participants in oneness has been that it has generated cordial relations among them which consecutively has worked a feeling to help each other at the time of need. Several programmes have been executed and many more will be taken up. People are accepting the existence of the institution, participating in the programs willingly and ready to cooperate, this is also a marvelous achievement during 30 years journey. The report card of 30 years devoted service to the society by Nirman Sanstha is now in your hands. This useful document of social works accomplished in last 30 years by us is placed before you. Kindly guide us further.
