About the Ngo
I have been working as an intern in A Ray of Hope charitable trust, it is a non-profit
Organization which looks forward to a peaceful world by helping each other join hands together
to bring a better future for all children. The main center of the trust is situated in Pune,
Maharashtra. It has its other branches in cities like Ahmedabad, baroda, Bangalore etc. The
founder of the organization Er Sanjay Kumar is an IT Engineer, here he and his crew made this
organization for the children who couldn’t get proper education. As we all know during the
pandemic there was lockdown for almost 2 years. During the lockdown many children in slum
areas as well as in rural areas were not able to get proper education due to lack of technology.
As the education during the pandemic was online and these children were helpless due to lack
of smart gadgets and were not able to continue their education further.
The scarcity of technology in the rural areas acted as one of the founding pillars of the
organization. The organization also deals with issues like social health and sanitation.

Study Done Related To The Law
The law relating studying was majorly related to human rights and its violation. Human rights
on which I studied are as follows -:
Right to Education
Right to Protection from all sort of violence
Right to Survival
Right to Adequate standard of living
Right to Water, sanitation and hygiene
What is human right violation?
A human rights violation is the disallowance of the freedom of thought and
movement to which all humans legally have a right. While individuals can
violate these rights, the leadership or government of civilization most often
belittles marginalized persons. This, in turn, places these people in the
cycle of poverty and oppression.
Right to Education
Right to education means that education is fundamental right of every
individual and it is the government’s responsibility to ensure that individuals
are able to exercise their right. Article 21-A of the constitution of India lays
down the rules and regulation to be followed to ensure the right to education.
Right To Adequate Standard Of Living
The right to an adequate standard of living requires, at a minimum, that everyone shall enjoy
the necessary subsistence rights: adequate food and nutrition, clothing, housing and the
necessary conditions of care when required. The essential point is that everyone shall be
able, without shame and without unreasonable obstacles, to be a full participant in ordinary,
everyday interaction with other people. Thus, people should be able to enjoy their basic
needs in conditions of dignity. No one should have to live in conditions whereby the only
way to satisfy their needs is by degrading themselves or depriving themselves of their basic
freedoms, such as through begging, prostitution or forced labour. In purely material terms, an
adequate standard of living implies living above the poverty line of the society concerned,
which according to the World Bank includes two elements: ‘The expenditure necessary to
buy a minimum standard of nutrition and other basic necessities and a further amount that
varies from country to country, reflecting the cost of participating in the everyday life of
society.’ ICESCR General Comment 12 finds that what is ‘adequate’ ‘is to a large extent
determined by prevailing social, economic, cultural, climatic, ecological and other
conditions.
Right To Water Sanitation And Hygiene
Water is the basic need for the survival of human being and is part of the right to
life and human rights as enshrined in article 21 of the constitution of India and the
right to healthy environment to sustainable development are fundamental human
rights implicit in right to life. Right to sanitation and hygiene is a part of
fundamental right to life. Right to sanitation, like various other rights, is a
derivative of right to life enshrined under Article 21.
Article 21: Protection of life and personal liberty- No person shall be deprived of
his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law. and
expressly included in Article 21, it came into being by judicial interpretation of the
Article. The Supreme Court and High Courts have consistently held that right to
sanitation is a part and parcel of Article 21 and the Article encompasses within it
the right to sanitation as right to life can never be achieved in kits true meaning and
spirit without sanitation and hygiene.
Experience Undertaken & Conclusion
The 30 days I spent working with my NGO, brought massive changes in my life, I was able
to connect with people of different age groups at the same time, the on field internship gave
me practice of how to deal with problems and how to explain those problems to the less
learned. I was able to brush up my communication skills and convincing skills all together. I
even realized the value of technology and the importance of money throughout the
internship. The internship also changed my perspective on education as well as I was able to
use my knowledge to help and cater to the needs of the needful.
These different experiences have somehow helped me in forming a better personality and
also gave rise to my confidence.
