I am associated with DCT since last 6 years.
It was thoroughly learning experience for me.
What I have contributed towards DCT should come from the other members.
“Unity and open culture was, is and will be our strength.”
Deepastambha is the most enthusiastic group I have ever came across till date.Despite having career and family responsibilities everyone is contributing as per respective reach.As far as my thinking goes, apart from social work the personal growth is also there.There is no concentrated effort on any of the particular area as yet, but exactly on other side we are reaching to the various social problems and needy areas.
In 10th year of working, I see DCT as a Successful social organization as far as actual social work concerned,Carrying the responsibility of selected social issues thoroughly and having the exact identity that was there on the first day of DCT.
Member’s unity is the major strength of DCT.The bond between members is and will be a reason for success.Though diverting from ground level activities is issue for concern.
“Only those who have learned the power of sincere and
selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment.”
-Tony Robbins

When I joined Deepastambha in 2009, it was more or less a clean slate and the world ahead of us. We managed very well keeping our heads down and concentrating on working for the society in every minute way possible.
I was fortunate enough to be a part of the very first installment of
‘Eco-Paavitrya’ which is now a hugely successful project conducted by DCT.
During the early days, a mind bubbling with ideas and limbs eager to work there was a need to reign in my thoughts and actions. That was when DCT’s philosophy helped me grow in a controlled manner. Certain ideas had to be dismissed as they did not fit in the philosophy, but in the long run that proved to be a wise decision.
To me, being able to work in such an environment is an achievement in itself.
One that does not feel the need for trophies and medals, it is quite an encouragement in itself to keep going.
During the annual meet of 2013 I was tasked with the responsibility of delivering the ‘vote of thanks’ in front of some noted personalities. A challenging duty on the face of it, the team work and encouragement put in by everyone involved made it very easy and all the more enjoyable in the end. Being a ‘mentor’ for couple of schools during the ‘Skool-Sansad’ project in 2014 and 2015 was an experience which I will always cherish. Understanding fresh and brilliant thoughts coming from school-children was a humbling experience, one that cemented my confidence in the great future of our country.
Deepastambha for me has always been a platform where you can explore your ideas to help create positive change in the society, one where experiential learning supersedes bookish one, and bestows far bigger impact on personal life. Apart from getting to know fantastic people, one can meet highly respected personalities from various strata of the society- which only adds to your knowledge and experience. Deepastambha is like a sprawling banyan tree under which innumerable activities that aim at bringing about positive social changes begin. The roots are strong and the opportunity for further growth is plain as day.
We have already managed a feat -of operating for almost 8 straight years- that not many can. This proves DCT is on the right track and should keep moving forward. A couple of years from now in its 10th year of working, it will be a whole new ball game altogether. More than just planning and dreaming about it, we should be ready for it. There will be challenges that are unknown to us at this stage, but the team we have built at this moment is more than capable of reaching for the stars. Personally, I see DCT as an organization many will look up to. This will give us great power to channelize the willingness and strength to create a positive change. But with great power, there will be a far greater responsibility. ‘2 hours for the society every week’ has been our motto until now it is should remain so.
Projects like Gramarthan and Skool-Falak will experience monumental horizontal growth and I see school-related projects like Eco-Paavitrya and Skool-Sansad find acceptance in the highest levels of government.
To sum it all up – so far so good, the tenth year will be one where we look back on our achievements proudly, and find more strength to keep moving ahead.
The strength of DCT lies in every last member. This is one aspect we have been very fortunate about. There is no dearth of enthusiasm and willingness to go a long way to achieve something. Members thrive in an environment where support and encouragement can be found easily, this in turn gives birth to innovation. We have undertaken numerous innovative projects, and they are all down to the hard work and readiness of our members to take up responsibility.
Talking about weaknesses there aren’t many but the ones that exist, need to be dealt with positively. On one hand members come up with innovative ideas, solutions and all inclusive projects; but on the other we are not always successful in pulling together resources to make those ideas work. Tackling the resources problem is the one that must be addressed in order to ensure even smoother working of the organization.
“Each of us is a unique strand in the intricate web of life and here to make a contribution.”

I like to do social work and through DCT,I have achieved it.One important thing I learned is that social work has to be done in systematic manner.
(Let go attitude or “Chalta hai,social work hai” are not tolerated)
Social work should be done for oneself,not as a favor.
I am an ordinary member of DCT.Being a lawyer,I devote my time,contacts to the organization.Honestly,the quantum I am supposed to contribute, I haven’t yet but I shall manage it in near future.
DCT is an integral part of my life,without which I cannot imagine my life.In social work,one has to think of contributing than achieving and this is DCT’s philosophy which I like.Dct is a platform where on can explore his/her ideas and our trustees are always there to support these legitimate ideas.
Hats off to Trustees ,they deserve an applaud. I love u Trustees!
DCT has achieved many things beyond imagination in past few years.The philosophy and concept behind DCT will reach great heights in future.
Today’s scenario,the activities for the entire year is fixed and to manage these activities,DCT has to be financially sound.And we all will take appropriate steps to achieve the goal.
Why I like DCT? Because it doesn’t revolve around one person.It is a work based Organisation.
The one and only strength of DCT is its members.Its a voluntary organization ,a charitable trust with some restrictions.Hence, to achieve the goal,we need some volunteers/members who will work for the organization.
It is time now for DCT to look for earning mechanism as everything we do, we need Vitamin “M” (Money) without which we cannot survive.We are positive people and are working on it which we will achieve next year.
I am extremely proud to be a member of DCT and I love DCT being a part of my life!

A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.

Deepastambha is An Impartial Platform for me.
Deepastambha in its 10th year of working will be An entity that has gained assurance of desirable and sustainable future with its integrity and strong belief in "social work professionalism"
Genuine work culture and open approach for ideas, strong project incubation procedures, has been the strength of DCT as few weak points to mention, a system for guaranteed member involvement for baby projects, loopholes with proof reading system of text circulation through mails.

Deepastambha is an amazing platform for any person who wishes to contribute in the field of social work. From the past 6 years, Deepastambha has been working tirelessly, keeping a steady pace and chasing for excellence in every activity that it takes up. With every passing day it strives to make this society a better place to live in by attempting to make people socially aware and responsible.
For me, Deepastambha is a place where I have the freedom to express and channelize my thoughts, ideas and creativity. It has helped me imbibe skills like multitasking, meticulous planning and execution, punctuality, team work and positive thinking. It has helped me polish my skills in public speaking, leadership, being an attentive listener and channelizing my enthusiasm in an output-oriented direction. Working for Annual Meet or for Deepotsav was a life time experience which gave me immense pleasure and satisfaction.
Strength of Deepastambha is its firm ethics, focused aim and its dedicated members. What makes it unique is that its members from varied backgrounds come together for a common cause and give output in an unanimous voice.
With so many parallel projects running and innovative activities going on, it definitely is a big challenge!
But consistent efforts and commitment to the team will surely take Deepastambha to greater heights!

It gives me immense pleasure to feature in this blog. I had always liked to be close to nature and that's how I came to know about Deepastambha - a Group or People who arrange tree plantation drives, through Facebook. And since then I've been a small part of Deepastambha and Deepastambha has been a part of me.
The most important two things which kept me attending Deepastambha activities are 1 the type of activities we do and 2 welcoming nature of the Group.
My most favourite activity is Deepotsav - Diwali celebration at an old age home. The joy you see on grandma and grandpa's faces, makes me feel so HAPPY that it can't be expressed in words. Activities like these give you the motivation to keep the good work going.
Apart from these innumerable moments of joy, Deepastambha has helped me grow as a person. I feel privileged to be given opportunities to represent Deepastambha, to be the face of Deepastambha on stage. The People, biggest strength of us; We come from different backgrounds, professions, age groups. I feel very lucky to be a part of such diverse group. Most important thing is social awareness each individual inculcates within themselves being a part of this group. Deepastambha has also given me so many good friends, guides. It has helped me become a bit more social person than I was before.
I've been a part of Deepastambha since last three years. I have seen it grow and I see it going places moving ahead. More and more people joining in, more organisations getting associated with Deepastambha through CSR, spreading reach to other cities than Pune.
I would definitely continue being a part of this group for many years to come!

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 years, 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.
Members, teamwork, systematic management,
media-shy attitude, maintaining a positive
environment for Girls, our quality
of work
Weakness:
Low member-count for some activities, people who take responsibilities but fail
to manage them many times..
