Zeeshan’s Perspective of DEEPASTAMBHA:
When I joined in first, Deepastambha was an organization for me where only Sunday activities kept importance. Now Deepastambha is not just
an organization for me, it’s more likely a family. And it's family members are awesome people who share same views about social
development and are dedicated for same cause. And looking towards well-being of family is a responsibility now. Deepastambha has given me a
new vision, new horizon and let me meet new people who share some breathtaking dedication towards a social cause.
About achievements, undertaking the responsibility of Eco-Paavitrya project and completing it successfully was an achievement. Playing the
role of king in skit also is achievement as I always wanted to act someday. I have learnt a lot in Deepastambha, managing things and timings,
how to work and coordinate in a team. The brainstorming sessions which we conduct, makes us to think way beyond what one generally may do. If you undertake some work, it has to be done in every best manner; nothing here is taken in a casual way, & this is what I learned and appreciate about Deepastambha.
In past one year what I have noticed about Deepastambha is that it always craves for excellence. Each activity is superior to what it was the last time. So in coming year I see Deepastambha growing to new horizons and along with it I getting chance to work for amazing causes. New organizations and growing network along with exploring new areas to conduct activities and more activities in different areas in Pune like Aundh, Baner is what I see coming up this year. And the existing projects along with Upayn - our trademark donation camp and Annual meet would set new trends as always.
Strength of Deepastambha lies in its awesome people and their awesome dedication. The freedom to talk, express, letting the ideas flow and
encouragement to each individual is what is best part of Deepastambha and this imparts faith in every DCT member. At the same time, professionalism is also practiced here. Innovation in every undertaken activity and its optimized approach & believing in new members and imparting confidence in them by
allocating big projects to them as project managers is definitely encouraging. Another plus point is of finding ways to interact with school children with different activities and Encyclo-Falak project. This will impart some sense of responsibility in young age.
However we have some challenges ahead. Many big projects in a short span can lead to member crunch say during awareness or other activity. Also there should be a way that somehow funds/ financial help can be developed out of some projects and that same can be invested into our Deepastambha projects preparation.

Kedar’s Perspective of DEEPASTAMBHA:
For me Deepastambha is a platform to do our bit for society. It’s a forum where we get to know different aspects of our society. We get to interact with many people working in different areas. Deepastambha helps us to improve as a human being and also gives us a chance to contribute towards betterment of our society.
I was heading a department called as Support Staff from Jan 2011 till June 2013 & was Star of the Year for 2011-12.Currently, I am playing a role of an IT head and Project head for the Annual meet.
I think we have many things going on in parallel. Many projects or small events are happening. We have our calendar packed. In next one year, I think we will continue with our traditional projects and will try to raise the bar we have set for ourselves.
The strengths which we have as an organization are its main elements – Its enthusiastic members! Our open culture in terms of ideas & the excellent bonding between our members helps us to do social work innovatively as well as in a better way. Our knowledge base which we have been working on since last 5.5 years & are still learning new things each day, is what keeps us going.
Our pace i.e the pace at which things are happening in Deepastambha; It’s like a double edged sword. It will attract some but it might lose some. Also the events which we are conducting, we have to be careful so as to avoid the commercial attitude. Social work should not take a back seat.
We have to now anticipate the sorts of problems which we will encounter as an organization & plan in a way to avoid it! There is lot of work to be done!

Advait’s Perspective of DEEPASTAMBHA:
Deepastambha for me is Passion, Devotion, Determination and Dedication. Deepastambha fosters a family atmosphere.
I have developed a whole new skill set altogether, honed existing personal qualities, got tremendous exposure, leadership skills, public interactions.
There are plenty things which I learnt from Deepastambha while doing social work. Time management, multi-tasking, people management, meticulous planning and taking responsibilities, planning a budget, setting and achieving targets, & humanity, are few of them. I had got a chance to plan and execute the few activities along with co-PMs like: Christmas celebration at Manavya, traffic awareness activities, Upayn- our trademark donation camp.
In the next one year, I see Deepastambha as- innovation tied up with growth in current as well as new endeavours. Expansion to various areas, collaborations with various organisations are few things where we will definitely work in. Along with this, there will be requirement of improved co-ordination between members and volunteers & requirement of better funding so as to take up new social projects.
Our strengths which are our dedicated members, visionaries, & our faith in good cause will help our organization to progress as whole. Transparency in all aspects, freedom of expression, innovative ideas and projects, strong roots, enthusiastic members and their team spirit are going to keep us going!

Sucheta's Perspective of DEEPASTAMBHA:
Working with Deepastambha has been an immense learning experience, not only in social-work area, but overall! The thing which keeps all of us going is: ‘believing’. Believing in the thing we do, believing in the thought & philosophy of Deepastambha, believing in anything & everything related to Deepastambha.
Something I came across while reading was about: ‘Daffodil Principle’, which we can relate with, whenever we, Deepastambha, do any kind of work.
The Daffodil Principle -“One bulb at a time. There was no other way to do it. No shortcuts--simply loving the slow process of planting. Loving the work as it unfolded. Loving an achievement that grew slowly and bloomed for only three weeks each year.”
Social work also works in similar way. You cannot change the system in one go, or expect every social issue to eradicate soon. What it needs is: consistent efforts.
It would be like focusing on the social issue taken up, having no short-cuts, doing all R&D of the issue and getting involved in right manner, and eventually see the results or in a more positive direction - a better society.
Our strength lies in our members. We work together for a social cause, solidify ideas into a realistic, concrete plan, and connect them to the correct resources to help them implement it. One of our aims is to maximize opportunities to showcase best practice in a way that reinforces a view of social work services which reflects the value and diversity of our work.
The new CSR bill introduced by the present government is a very remarkable achievement. As per this, companies may conduct CSR programs through trusts & societies. This would eventually give a great resource: man-power for social work.
Over the past six years, we have worked and explored different areas and there is still much to learn and work. Journey till date has been quite successful thanks to the support of the members, organizations, schools, sponsors, vendors and everyone who has been involved with us. With the same support and willingness for work, DCT definitely has a long way to go.
What we should always do is - Learn all the time, put yourself about, seek new and different experiences, reflect on people's views and ideas – and always be known as someone who really does care and wants to make a difference. Values matter deeply in social work and social care, and must always shine through.

Bhagyesh’s Perspective of DEEPASTAMBHA:
Deepastambha is like a family for me. It is like an institution, where I learn new things regularly. It is like a "stress-buster" after a long tiring week. Working here.. makes me happy.
In next year, I see Deepastambha conducting it's major activities in different parts of Pune (outside Pune too). Our area of work will be much bigger and advanced. Number of projects would increase.
Learnings I have got from this organisation are many, just to list down few: Social Cognizance, creativity, sense of responsibility, management skills, communication with strangers. I was the project manager for our donation camp- Upayn in Nashik-2013. The experience which I got & the satisfaction which we all got after this donation camp, definitely has motivated us to do work in areas outside Pune also.
A part of Eco-Paavitrya 2013 was done in schools and gave me an opportunity to interact and explore this are of society. The special appreciation which I got for this further motivated me positively.
Our strength lies in our members. The teamwork & systematic management which is done for activities, events, as well as meetings is our strong point. Our policy of being a media-shy organization actually explains the genuinity & attracts more people. Another plus point is the way a positive environment is created & maintained for girls.
Sometimes we have low member-count for some activities which is our core part. Also as some members are working in varied fields as well as few are students, we should be careful while taking responsibilities, as leaving them half way is not the way Deepastambha works.
In coming years, we can look into different areas of social work as well as make our foundation more strong.

Aditya’s Perspective of DEEPASTAMBHA:
I think,
Deepastambha is not just a Charitable Trust, but also is a family where
different people contribute their efforts to build a better society. There is a
wide scope of developing person’s skills.
The area where we can work on is by
taking benefit of the online social media, which will help us to spread our
message to a larger audience. We should also make sure our members follow the
timelines esp during activities so that we will be able to get better output in
terms of social work.
Our biggest strength, undoubtedly are
the members of Deepastambha, as well as the structure of Deepastambha, where
members are at the top. Deepastambha policy of being media shy organization is
also one of its strength. The concept of First friend which was introduced last
year, helps the new members to gel in with the current members and this helps
in group dynamics which eventually help the members to work together for a
social cause. Also every member is given
an opportunity to share as well as execute his idea and work in his field of
interest.
Though Deepastambha is very clear
about its goals, for the next one year Deepastambha can broaden its own nature
of work, where a member can deeply involve himself in that particular area in
which he is willing to work for example Water Conservation, Traffic Issues,
Donation Camps, etc.

Shradha’s Perspective of DEEPASTAMBHA:
It has been two and half years now that I am associated with Deepastambha.
It started with spending just 2 hours every Sunday for some kind of social
activity. And now I can very proudly say that it has become a vital part of my
life.
Being a Deepastambha member, I feel my responsibility increases even more
in a day to day life. Because when I am creating awareness among people to
follow traffic rules or to keep our city clean then first I need to check if I
am following all these things.
Here, every member gets an equal opportunity and freedom to express his
opinion, put forth his idea and I think this is one of the best things in DCT.
We have discussions on every new idea that comes in someone’s mind. Then we
have a proper planning on how to work on it and every single member contributes
as per his ability. At present, we have many new projects introduced in a span
of last one year and different teams are working on each project.
One
of these projects is “Gramarthan”. It means supporting a village in its
development. So, far Deepastambha has worked mainly in Pune city. However, in
last annual meet we decided to explore how we can contribute in the rural areas
and from that emerged an idea to search for a village where we can do all-round
development of the village with the help of the villagers. This can include
water management, waste management, health and hygiene, education, women
empowerment and more.
All of us are aware that in this new project we will face new challenges
in coming period but looking at the past record of Deepastambha, I can
confidently say that we will surely find our way through all these
challenges.

Pratik’s Perspective of DEEPASTAMBHA:
When I joined
Deepastambha it was only a platform for me to create social awareness and doing
my part of social deeds but as my relation grew with Deepastambha it became the
integral part of my life. Everything I did had a shadow of Deepastambha on it.
Now Deepastambha has evolved drastically in last 2 years. This is not just a
platform for developing social sense it is way more than that. I consider this
is HOME to anybody’s wildest ideas to hatch. Of course the ideas need to have a
social aspect behind it. And slowly Deepastambha can and is creating more of
socio-economic views. But our main motto behind Deepastambha is untarnished
indeed viz. to help society build in an ideal way.
I have gained
huge amount of confidence while working in Deepastambha. Along with doing
social work I also have learned management skills eg - managing an event,
managing people & managing finance etc. I also have improved my
communication skills &interpersonal skills. There has been a considerable
increase in the knowledge at personal level & have gained social sense
Right now at
whatever pace we are heading, I would say in one year there won’t be any drastic
change in Deepastambha. And in one year surely we will have increase in our member
count as well.
Currently the financial
position of Deepastambha i.e. ways of inflow of funds & sponsorships is
something we all will be working for, so as to conduct different social
activities & events on a larger scale. Also the attendance of members for
weekly activities and monthly meetings or any other meetings should increase.
We should make good use of the current social media to spread social
awareness. The strength of Deepastambha
lies in its simple working structure & the consistency of the weekly
activities.We also
have back-up of very eminent experts in almost every social field .The friendly
atmosphere which we create while doing social work probably is the best thing
which helps all of us to contribute more
for the society.

Laxman’s Perspective of DEEPASTAMBHA:
Each moment in
Deepstambha is learning experience for me.
Deepastambha is like career for me, I am still under developmentm still
learning new things every time I participate in a social activity.
‘Samarth bharat’ gave us an opportunity to
select any NGO in between 364 NGO’s in Pune. And I had chosen Deepstambha that
time. The spark that I had felt that time is what I am witnessing even right
now.
Deepastambha has helped me to achieve my
aim of social work in reality with very well manner. Now we, as Deepastambha
Charitable Trust are moving from ‘voluntary social work’ towards ‘Professional
social work’.
Deepstambha underlined with true spirit of
dedication no motive for profit, prestige or political mileage is the main
thing which keeps all of us going.
The overall management and the set and
disciplined system makes things manageable on a larger scale for any of the
social activity/ event. As we are into a professional social work area, what we
should work on first is understanding the base of social works which involves :
studying different techniques for social work, mode of delivery towards
society, network building with society, agencies, volunteers, various sectors
along with our effectiveness of management & functioning. We should also be
now concentrating on the different projects which have started in the last two
years.
As we are going on the path of progress we
must not forget our basic objectives and vision and work together for the same,
we have a lot of work to do for the betterment of society.

Anand’s Perspective of DEEPASTAMBHA:
DEEPASTAMBHA is a great platform to each person who is willing to do something for society. I am really proud to be a part of this group which has brought changes in my life.
DEEPASTAMBHA for me is: An important element in my life, a need of an individual’s social life. How to interact with people in society is an important lesson taught by DEEPASTAMBHA which is helpful in my profession also. The environment in this organization is very open and transparent. It makes all the members working in it, very comfortable. It’s like one huge family in which every member takes efforts and believes in the concept of Deepastambha. It’s a great platform for all who want to contribute for the society. Deepastambha has grown in a right direction since last 5-6 years and I believe the secret behind it is the efforts put in by the members. By working together in the similar manner, we together can achieve great heights in this field. There are different policies formed here, so that as an organization everything will work in a smooth way. Last year, we had our trademark donation camp, “Upayn” in a newer parts of Pune - Sahakarnagar & Baner. By taking such new projects, we will definitely spread across different parts of Pune and involve more and more people. Gradually in coming years we can spread this awareness in different parts of Maharashtra as well! Also in last few months we planned 2 grand events under’ Encyclo-Falak’. Both the events involved school children and were successful.
The area where we need to work on is for getting strong funding backup which is a very important thing for DEEPASTAMBHA in upcoming years to plan & execute new activities and projects.
We must look at ANANDWAN- A Project by Baba Amte and get inspired. We have started study tour- ‘BrahmanJidnyasa’ which gives an opportunity to anyone to visit Anandwan, Hemalkasa & Somnath and get an unique experience and learn things related to social work & social sensibility.
“Think big goals, and win big success”. Deepastambha will progress further and become one of the most successful social organizations.

Prashad’s Perspective of DEEPASTAMBHA:
Deepastambha is a platform not only for me but for every one who really wants to do something for the society. If asked what Deepastambha is for me then, I would say it is something that I cannot put it in words but it is something that one needs to experience and trust me once you come to Deepastambha activity you will come again and again. We all come here with one object/motive, but who are new to Deepastambha and who are willing to join Deepastambha I want to tell you guys this the safest place to work for everyone and not only that but you are at liberty to do all the “legitimate” things for the benefit of society and for Deepastambha. You can explore your ideas and members are always there to help you in every situation. Now Deepastambha is like family to me and tell me can anyone live without family?
Just to share one recent experience : We Deepastambha members were doing awareness about donations on the very day of UPAYN- which is our Trademark donation camp. We were appealing to people for various donation like blood, clothes, plastic, paper etc. During awareness I saw the music director Pyarelal buying fruits along with his wife near UPAYN venue @ Baner. Without wasting much of time I went to him and told him about concept of the UPAYN and requested him to visit the venue. Initially he said no as he was heading towards the Mumbai and he told me that he might get late. But I insisted and requested him & tried to explain him the cause behind this social event. He came to our venue & appreciated our work and his wife also donated some money to Deepastambha. At that time donation was not important for me but convincing him and taking him to the venue was important. From this incident I want to tell my fellow Deepastambha members that, talk to people convince them, trust me they will definitely help Deepastambha.
From last 3 years I am working with Deepastambha. I have witnessed the growth of Deepastambha. Right now we have many ongoing projects. According to me instead of introducing any new projects we should properly implement the existing projects in terms of “finance”. After 1 year I see some definite income source to DCT, at least we should take major steps for fixed income this year.
I think needless to say “our own members” is the biggest strength of Deepastambha. And I don’t find any weakness but definitely there is lot of scope for improvement.
Name : Madhavi Chitale
Madhavi’s Perspective of DEEPASTAMBHA:
I’ve learned many things after joining Deepastambha of which I was not aware of. I’ve came to know my role in our society, basic rules & discipline, which we should follow.
Deepastambha is another part of my life. I always wished to bring happiness in other's lives and this organization has been a great medium for achieving that.
In this year Deepastambha should plan some big social events based on the concepts that are out of the box, so that other people would come to know about Deepastambha more. This will make social work more interesting.
Our strength lies within ourselves. Deepastambha members’ give full respect to their co-members and everyone tries to understand everyone’s view. What we can improve on is the management done after any of the entire social event conducted by us, by re-using & managing the different inventory/decoration material. With such enthusiastic member count in Deepastambha, we can give a new dimension to social work.

Tejas’s Perspective of DEEPASTAMBHA:
Deepastambha for began as a platform for social service for the
community around it. As time progressed and my involvement increased,
I realized that this is not just a platform but a joint family with a
common goal. I am happy and very proud to be a part of this family.
One of my biggest achievements in DCT was when I learned
the attitude required while working in a team of people from various
fields. The technique that I learned has helped in success of various
social activities of DCT including but not limited to Upayn- our trademark donation camp, Annual Meet, Eco-Paavitrya, Gramarthan- village development project.
I am also a member of Pratirav team our bi-monthly newsletter.
I see Deepastambha as a banyan tree that has increasing number of
trunks to support its canopy. I have a vision that in the coming year
to focus more on strengthening each pillar and branch before
increasing the size of the canopy.
Most people believe that Deepastambha's biggest strength is its
growing number of members, whereas it is not quite so. The strength of
Deepastambha lies in the dedication of the members shown towards the
activities, projects and functioning of DCT. The member count needs to
increase, that is necessary, but the dedicated members must also
increase with as much potential as possible. The training sessions which Deepastambha conducts surely help in motivation, member bonding and knowledge transfer also.
Understanding the strengths and working on our weakness will definitely help us to explore more and more social work areas & work on them.

Deepastambha is way of life for me. I always wished to bring happiness in other's lives and this organization has been a great medium for achieving that.
“We can never really change someone; people must change themselves. But we can help. We can be a resource." - Stephen R. Covey. These words reflect the soul of this trust and I am honoured to be a part of it.
I have learned many things from Deepastambha. It taught me the discipline. It helped me in improving the art of building a helping relationship, in self-determination, perseverance. The things which I have learned are what I have achieved, and I want to achieve more. Deepastambha created a comforting sense of being understood and accepted.
We have reached out to the people through our efforts in the various activities that we've been actively pursuing, & in the coming year I hope this continues and grows with its arms reaching out to the nooks and corners of the cities we serve.
Our strength lies in our unity and the strong resolve to which every member abides while doing what we do. Every member participates whole-heartedly to fulfil a unified purpose.
The area where we can look into is regarding the management of the art and craft decorations post-use, which we make during our events. The material which we utilise should be re-usable.
I also hope that we tread down a path that has not been travelled. Last year the way we interacted with the school children we can get involved more in this like arranging tree plantations & other social awareness workshops for the school children. Because in doing so, we'll familiarize their minds and perspectives towards nature and society in general.

Tejashri’s Perspective of DEEPASTAMBHA:
It’s been almost a year I am working with Deepastambha. Deepastambha Charitable Trust is the best platform to the person who really wants to bring the change in the society and work for it’s development. In Deepastambha, every member is so dedicated and focused and it’s a real strength of DCT. The upwards graph of Deepastambha’s growth is only due to its simple structure, clarity in actions and fundamental principles.
In Deepastambha, members enjoy the freedom to express their ideas and opinions and also are ready to accept suggestions. In DCT we can see a good blend of good ideas, creative implementation, team work and best leadership. The quality work and best end results are the highlights of every activity in Deepastambha.
In Deepastambha, we have a system where-in we maintain the database of each member/ donor, every organization, our well-wishers etc. We also keep the records of inventory needed and logistics required. This makes the management and planning of any activity/ project very easy.
In coming years, Deepastambha, as an organization, will expand the scope of its activities and projects all over Maharashtra. DCT will try to reach nearer and handle every possible social cause and will try for betterment in many sectors.
As we all know, the scope of DCT is increasing and many activities and projects are going on simultaneously, we must make sure that we are not ignoring the basic structure and principles of DCT. We also have to consider every small thing and opinions and view points related to that activity / project. The second important thing is we must continue to keep and maintain proper records of each and every activity and of every department more efficiently. We need to invest more time for the upcoming responsibilities and challenges too.
I really feel immensely satisfactory and proud to be a member of Deepastambha Family where ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!

Sayli’s Perspective of DEEPASTAMBHA:
Deepastambha for me is the best part of my life. It is the best thing I spend my time for. Working here gives me tremendous joy, and also a feeling of handling a huge responsibility. If there's one thing I regret is - its not joining DCT earlier. I love to take part in each and every activity and give my best for it. I sincerely feel that DCT has literally changed my point of view towards life. I feel happy and loved to be given so many things when I see people struggling to get it. Deepastambha is in the hands of some great leaders guiding you in ever step towards the noble cause.
I have learnt that social work or helping the needy is not a work which only the ones interested in it should do; It is our responsibility and if I could make an attempt to change a few things about the society, making people aware to contribute towards the society would top my list. My contribution towards my people can be said to be very tiny, compared to the hard working and sincere people in Deepastambha. These people are a continuos motivation for other members also.
The strength of Deepastambha lies in its unity, and in the fact that its handled so carefully and sincerely. Here everyone gets his/her chance of leadership and learns to manage things and people, which is really a very good opportunity. The regularity & the consistency in the activities being carried out is majorly responsible for the success of Deepastambha, as per my view. I haven't seen any weaknesses till date, and even if I have, I have seen them perishing very soon.
I see Deepastambha growing bigger and spreading its branches wider to reach out to the maximum people possible, just like the way we grew in the last year.

(Trustee)
Education details: B.E (I.T), M.B.A( Systems,Finance,IB)
Anushka's Perspective of DEEPASTAMBHA:
“Any sufficiently
advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. “Technology refers to the
collection of tools that make it easier to use, create, manage and exchange
information. With this, we started converting our processes into IT enabled
services I can say it was an IT year for Deepastambha as many IT initiatives
came in. The first paperless Upayn is the best example and moving forward we should
come up with few mobile-apps and more interactive web systems.
Quality means doing it
accurate when no one is looking and it is our adoptions that show who we really
are, far more than our abilities; this type of attitude is going to help us in
moving forward. With Completion of 5 years we have definitely started setting
benchmark for us in quality with one or other activity. As the organization
grows, percolation of ethics and values into and around the organization becomes
very critical. I feel while exploring new ideas we should definitely focus on
this.
We often use the words
"creativity" and "innovation" interchangeably but we should
not. Creativity is about coming up with ideas while innovation is about
"bringing ideas to life." “Innovation is the process of turning ideas
into manufacturable and marketable form.” With which I can actually connect our
project “Encyclo-Falak” which was the step taken towards connecting new
generation and their thoughts.
Addition to this rural
enrichment can become one of the top agenda wherein making villagers self-sufficient
will be the main motive.
It is said :
"If you would be known, and not know,
vegetate in a village; if you would know, and not be known, live in a city. “A
village is a hive of glass, where nothing unobserved can pass”.
I feel working on villagers’
development than village development can be the outline. Practising new things, individual and
organization growth will be always there,however I think next 3 years are going to be very challenging for Deepastambha as I predict a major move in “concept to
implementation” speed, new volunteers and changing environment in social expansion.
