The Trust is located in the center of the city having 2 floors in its office premises. Field Visit – Janani Home: Janani Home was started in 2012 and currently has 8 children which have a capacity of 15 children, which provides a safe and structured environment for underprivileged girls who are born into deprivation. They built the home by taking license and following all rules by the government. The rules for girl children are very strict. Janani Home provides support and care to the girls sent by Child Welfare Committee. Janani Home has orphans and semi-orphans. Janani Home takes care of the children’s nutrition and education. They have a separate van to take them to the schools and pick them up back to home. Prime Trust organizes various activities like tailoring and other fun activities for the children living in Janani Home. In my opinion, the children now have forgotten about the difficulties they faced in their past lives. They are really happy with the way they are living and the opportunities provided by Prime Trust. They are content with what they have and are living their lives to the fullest. The smile on their faces made me realize how to find happiness in the little things in life.

First Impression of Ms. Meghana Maduri, MBA intern from SP Jain Institute of Management and Research, Mumbai On my first day of the social internship, I had the opportunity to meet Mr. SM Arasu, the founder of Prime Education and Social Trust. He spoke passionately about how and why he started the NGO and the various areas in which they work. I learned that they focus on helping children and women because they are more vulnerable and in need of assistance. Through their various programs like education, evening schools, home for girls, micro-credit for women, tailoring classes and SHG for women, infant care center, and healthcare for children, Prime Education and Social Trust not only provides for the underprivileged but also empowers them and helps them become self-sufficient. It was inspiring to learn about the impact the NGO has had on the community and how they strive to make a difference in the lives of those they serve. I am excited to be a part of this team and contribute to its mission in any way I can. Subsequent Work – During our first meeting with Mr. SM Arasu, the founder of Prime Education and Social Trust, he shared with us the various projects we could take up during our social internship. He explained that our work would range from social media campaigning to raise funds for the NGO, teaching kids, enhancing content for public platforms, creating marketing posters, and conducting market research to help the women utilize the tailoring machines they have. One of the urgent projects that Sir mentioned was to raise funds to buy the building of Janani home, which is currently home to eight underprivileged and orphaned girls. We were excited to take up this challenge and started brainstorming ideas on how to raise funds quickly. Our team came up with a crowdfunding campaign, and we also reached out to organizations for donations under their CSR initiatives. We took it upon ourselves to market the campaign extensively, creating posters and sharing them on various social media platforms. In addition, we also visited the Janani home located in Puducherry to get a first-hand experience of the situation. It was inspiring to see how our small efforts could make a significant impact on the lives of these young girls. Working on this project gave us a sense of purpose and fulfillment and we were proud to be a part of this initiative. As we spoke with Mr. SM Arasu during our social internship, we learned that the landlord of Janani home had been increasing the rent every year. To address this issue, Prime Educational and Social Trust had set a goal of raising a substantial amount of Rs. 1.6 crores to buy the building and provide a stable home for the girls. We were moved by this cause and knew that we wanted to help in any way we could. Learnings – During my social internship, I came to understand the various challenges associated with running a foster home for girls. I learned that the government has strict rules and regulations, making it difficult to operate a home, and requires an immense amount of paperwork. Furthermore, we discovered that the properties in Puducherry are quite expensive, as we had to purchase a house for Rs. 1.6 crores, even though it can only host a maximum of 15 girls. Moreover, the number of girls sent to our home depends on the government, and they are free to adopt anyone into the home. Despite these challenges, it was inspiring to see the positive impact our organization is making by providing a safe and nurturing environment for these girls. We are committed to overcoming obstacles and continuing to make a difference in their lives.

First Impression of Mr. Ansh Malik MBA intern from the SP Jain Institute of Management and Research

First Impression of Mr. Ansh Malik MBA intern from the SP Jain Institute of Management and Research When we were allotted our project and locations by the college, I was both nervous and excited. Nervous because I was going to spend one full month in a South Indian city and I did not know the language they spoke (Tamil) – the feeling was scary. But excited because the city lies on the southeast coast of India and is a famous tourist destination for its serene beaches. It was a bittersweet feeling but I decided to make the most out of it. Fast forward to nearly a month and it was time for the internship to begin. I left my home in Delhi and boarded a flight to Chennai. From Chennai, I had booked a cab in advance to take me to Pondicherry. We took the most popular driving route – the Eastern Coast Road (ECR). The road lies parallel to the Bay of Bengal coastline and one could witness the scenic views throughout the three and a half hour ride. Once I reported at the NGO, I was surprised to see the actual location. It was a small office situated in a residential area (Rainbow Nagar – fancy name I thought to myself). It was a colorful building. The NGO has 3 full-time employees – Arasu Sir (the founder), Mrs. Mary Slessor (Program Manager) and Mrs. Nathali Raja (Secretary). All three of them were quite friendly and onboarded us smoothly. Arasu sir began briefing us about various activities that Prime Trust looks into and this officially kicked off DoCC for us. Through their dedicated efforts, they covered a plethora of SDGs namely – No Poverty, Zero Hunger, Good Health & Well Being, Quality Education, Decent Work, and Economic Growth. He essentially runs three charity organisations – • Prime Educational and Social Trust(TRUST) • India Volunteer Care(TRUST) • Akshaya Self Help Group Confederation(SOCIETY) Prime Trust is the parent organisation that works on various causes whereas IVC and Akshaya SHG Confederation were setup for supporting purposes. Our internship was to be done with Prime Trust. During the first half of our stint, we were supposed to work on a crowd funding campaign and its related social media activities. So for past several years, Prime Trust has been renting a building to house an orphanage they run. However, they face the perils of increasing rent every year and when they shift addresses; they need to get the records updated for all the children in the government's books. To avoid these issues, they are now looking to purchase the building and provide a permanent home for these children where they can thrive. To arrange funds for this, they are running a crowd funding campaign. To get a first-hand idea of the situation they’re dealing with, we went to the field and saw the orphanage – When we decided to visit the orphanage, I did not give it much thought. I did not realize that it would be such an emotionally challenging field visit. Meeting children without parents and a stable home made me gloomy and, on some level, I felt helpless. After returning, we made a point to give our 200% to make this crowd funding campaign a success.
