Community is a familiar thread used to bring people together to advocate and support each other . The main aim of the Podar Volunteer Program is to encourage students to give back to their communities. Giving back instills in students the idea that they can make the world a better place, one small project at a time. Volunteer opportunities for children teach important social-emotional skills such as compassion, social awareness, relationship skills, leadership, and more. When students participate in a service project, it provides them with a sense of purpose and helps them strengthen their social-emotional core.
Dr.Hedgewar Janmshatabdi Samiti from Chandrapur has undertaken a number of welfare projects Chandrapur’s Ashray hostel for underprivileged and destitute children is one such project.
