IDF works hand in hand with Central and State Governments and
Municipal Corporations for National Leprosy Elimination Program
and TB Control Program. It involves lakhs of students and citizens for
leprosy/ TB awareness-cum-resource mobilization. The school Teams
have their pride of place. Since 2005, on the directions of our beloved
ex-President Shri. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam ji IDF has grown into a
leading NGO in India in the Health Sector and women empowerment,
Education, and Skill development.
IDF has given the opportunity to every citizen to participate in this
national humanitarian effort. India had an estimated 4 million leprosy
cases in 1982 with a prevalence rate of 57 per 10,000 population.
Several districts were hyper endemic and endemic for leprosy. With
the active work of the Union Health Ministry, State Health Ministries,
Municipalities, and National and International NGOs, some states
have already eliminated leprosy by now, with a prevalence of less than
1 per 10,000 population by March 2005.
India has achieved the leprosy elimination status (Elimination status
means achieving the prevalence rate of less than 1 patient per 10,000
populations) Consequent to the drastic reduction of leprosy cases in
India and leprosy elimination in several states, it was felt expedient by
the Board of Trustees to diversify and rechristen Indian Leprosy
Foundation as Indian Development Foundation (IDF).

1
Proposals were made to Govt. and the Charity Commissioner;
Mumbai has approved the change of name and the diversified roles.
Thus, IDF came into existence on 1st April 2005.
Indian Development Foundation (IDF) has taken its enlarged and new
responsibilities spanning health, education, and development areas.
These are priority health areas of the Govt. and IDF is focusing its
efforts on these areas.

IDF’S Field Staff and volunteers are giving health awareness talks on
these diseases to students in Schools, Colleges, and Institutions
throughout India. Campaigns in Mass Media are taken up with all
enthusiasm.
Education to the handicapped, the poor and the marginalized children
in rural areas, tribal villages and urban slums is a priority concern for
IDF. Education gives empowerment in employment areas, commercial
activities, health care, and in fact Total Quality of Life. We are also
focusing on Women Empowerment Programmer providing adult
education and vocational training to women folks under -Sarva Sakhi

1.2 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT

Project 1 - SuiDhaagaJi!

Project SuiDhagaJi is a program designed to empower women through

Skill development. The concept here is to provide sewing Machine,
and a suitable place, training material and a trainer. The training
Centre operates as the basic tailoring learning Centre and also imparts
specialized training like embroidery and soft toy making. The
knowledge and the acumen gathered here in this program will further
help them to have a productive unit of their own from where they can
flourish and grow. Recently, the women of the SuiDhagaJi centre in
Mumbai made over 75,000 flags for the government’s "Har Ghar
Tiranga" project. The SuiDhagaJi centers also welcomed women from
the transgender community to become a part of this project.

Project 2- Laxmi

Project Laxmi is a program conducted in collaboration with Srujna to

share financial knowledge among girls and women. Through Project
Laxmi, Srujna envisages improving women's understanding of savings
and investment instruments. They intend to offer financial literacy
Awareness to 550 women in partner organizations and communities
nationwide. This is mandated by RBI to sensitize the beneficiaries
about the various saving methodologies, about managing the meager
finances.
And to be aware of cyber frauds that are happening rampantly due to
the digitizing of our payment gateways.
The beneficiaries for this program are girl students and their women
relatives.

1.5 PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT

Project 1 – Sui Dhaaga Ji

There are currently 23 operational Sui Dhaaga Ji Centers across India

aimed at providing vocational training for learning tailoring as a skill.
The knowledge and the acumen gathered here in this program will
further help them to have a productive unit of their own from where
they can flourish and grow. Recently, the women of the Sui Dhaga Ji
center in Mumbai made over 75,000 flags for the government’s "Har
Ghar Tiranga" project.
Initiated with the intention of stitching affordable masks during the
covid-19 pandemic which can be used by the masses. The Sui Dhaga
Ji centers also welcomed women from the transgender community to
become a part of this project ensuring balanced overall development
in the society. We visited 3 centers to understand the operations and
management of those centers. The objective of the visit was to analyze
the processes followed by the center manager and how well the
students were able to make the most out of the training being given.
Also, to help them increase their operational and learning efficiency
and to find the scope for improvement and valuable
consultation/recommendations from a 3rd person’s point of view, and
take follow up on the same.

Project no 2-Project Laxmi

Our basic objective was to Identify colleges and institutions where the
project can be carried out and contacted them to brief them about the
need for financial literacy programs among young women and
convinced them to conduct the program for the degree college girls
who would be requiring financial knowledge and awareness about the
cyber-crimes happening around. This is a unique project where crisp
and relevant information was disseminated to the beneficiaries who
benefitted.

26
4.2 FINDINGS
The concept of "Corporate Social Responsibility" (CSR) has become
an integral part of corporate philosophy and practice all over the world.
CSR has long been a component of Indian business. There have been
efforts on the side of the business community and government, both in
the distant and recent past, to make responsible business practices part
of our commercial culture. Nonetheless, such attempts have been
haphazard, individual/institutional focused, and, in some
circumstances, lacking in a well-defined direction and objective.
Recently, there have been signs that the situation is shifting.

A host of factors such as the globalization of business operations, the

rise to prominence of the climate change agenda, the adoption of
Millennium Development Goals, and so on have contributed to an
enhanced level of concern and commitment to the idea of corporate
social responsibility.

The government's initiatives are reflected in the new Companies Act,

which mandates CSR spending for a designated group of corporate
companies, which was passed in 2013. There have also been
initiatives, in line with worldwide practice, to integrate CSR into
corporate strategy and use it as a tool for gaining and maintaining a
competitive advantage in the market.

27
 CHAPTER 5: RECOMMENDATIONS

On the Macro level, the recommendation would revolve around not

only providing capital as an investment to the NGO for social welfare
but also the corporates should contribute through their employee
involvement in a small way towards social welfare and participation
for the overall growth of society.

A few other projects related recommendations were given directly to

the CEO Dr. Narayan AB Iyer Sir.
Recommendation no: 1

One such was for project Sui Dhaagi ji centre operational at Andheri
West which we found was facing certain issues in relation to the
following.
- Higher volume of students to be taught in 2 hours’ time.

- Limited number of traditional sewing machines (6 machines were

available)

- One minor safety problem one of the tube lights was broken and
hanging on the side wall.

Our recommendation was focused on creating efficiency based on our

discussion with the center teacher Ms. Umaizer, from which we
understood that she was running 2 batches every alternate day sized 30
and 20 students respectively, operational 2 hours on each day.

We analyzed and found out that every student was only getting active
20 mins on the traditional machine which in a span of 3 months would
only come down to 24 hours in total which in our regard itself was
very less time to learn a vocational course which requires in-person
practice.

28
 Finally, our suggestion to Dr. Narayan Sir was.

- Either increase the training operational timing by 2 more hours (i.e, a

total of 4 hours each day)

- Alternatively increase the number of traditional machines from 6 to 12

as space was not a constraint.

Both the alternative would work well, however since a large number
of students were being addressed the first suggestion above was highly
recommended with 1 additional teacher being placed to drive
efficiency and a better overall learning experience for all students.
Also, this would cost significantly less fixed asset (sewing machine)
investment and only attract an increase in electricity bills and
teachers’ expenses.

Recommendation no. 2

For Project Laxmi, which was focused on providing financial literacy

awareness focused on young female minds, we gave the following
inputs and recommendations to ease IDF’s work.

- Prepared a list of institutes we connected with and shared the contact

details for future follow-up.

- Suggested targeting institutes that are catering to only female students

for better reach.

- Some kinds of benefits such as snacks and other minor items attract
students to sit for such sessions.

- To conduct this as a secondary program on Women’s Day and other

related days to female students where the reach of the program can be
maximized.

29
 CHAPTER 6: CONCLUSION

IDF runs several projects in various fields including Health,

Education, Skill development, and Women Empowerment.
Major corporate social responsibilityinitiatives undertaken by Indian
Development Foundation are.

Meals to Heal , Aashayein - A ray of hope, Cover Of Compassio n,

The Dignit y Project , SuiDhaagaJi!, IDF Bal Gurukuls, Project
SHAAN, Sarva Sakhi Swabhiman, Missio n W2K, St udent Leadership
Program, Yout h Leadership Program, Milit ar y Leadership Program
(MLP), IDF Centre of Excellence,etc.
Recommendations based on the analysis done for the project Laxmi and project
sui dhaga ji were implemented by the NGO during our internship period.
Later it was found in Sui Dhaaga Ji that machines were utilized in the best way
possible for 3 centers and they could save 90 mins per day.

In project Laxmi new 23 institutes were contacted, and slot was finalized to
conduct a program. We approached 45 institutes and 23 gave positive response.
We finalized a session of Project Laxmi on the occasion of women’s day wherein
around 200 students were expected.
