The Emblem
About Our Logo
The three S's in tricolour in the form of an unfurled flag represent the name of our organisation "Sulakshya Seva Samithi" and the colours of the Indian National Flag. 'Sulakshya' is a combination of two words 'Su' (Good) & 'Lakshya' (Goal), summing as a Noble Goal.
The four pictures in the logo represent our core objectives: Education, Youth empowerment, Protecting Environment & Healthcare. We have used tricolour in most parts which conveys Indianness.
The eleven-member human chain at the bottom represents teamwork. We have specifically chosen eleven because Cricket is like a religion in India & a Cricket team comprises eleven members. As we play as a team in this game, we will work as a real team in the organization.
Our Pillars
Our Objectives
Education For All
Making parents and citizens aware of the Importance and Need of Education and Seeing to it that Every child goes to school. We will motivate parents and students to go to school & continue their education further. We will also support them with books, stationery etc in the best possible way we can.
Health Care
As the adage goes, Health is wealth. The majority of the poor in the country spends a lot of money on their health and that affects their savings. We wish to educate people on simple but effective methods to keep themselves healthy and educate them on the various Government policies available.
Protecting Environment
We will try to protect the environment by creating awareness among the citizens about eco-friendly measures. Planting trees, fighting for plastic bans etc are part of this.
Empowering Youth
Youth is the cornerstone of this country. Any change in the country is possible only with the active participation of young people. We will motivate young people to take up social causes and ingrain a sense of social responsibility in them. We will also equip them to stand up on their own by educating them about various opportunities available.
Providing Basic Needs
Many people in our country are not able to meet their basic needs for food clothing and shelter. With whatever we have, we will try to reduce the hunger of at least a few. We will give clothes to those who badly need them and join them in well-established organisations if they are homeless.
Spreading Love & Affection
Not everyone needs financial support. Moral support is all that some people need. A warm hug, a gentle touch, and a gesture of togetherness are what make their lives happier. We will spend time with people in such need and spread the message of love and affection.
Dignity of Labour
Dignity of labour is not only about respecting different jobs that people do, but also about trying to understand the importance of each such job in building society. As a country, we are yet to imbibe this principle. We will spread the message to shed the attitude of looking down upon certain jobs as 'menial.' We will take up activities that are considered menial to highlight the importance of each of these jobs like sweeping the streets etc.
Protecting Indian Heritage & Culture
It is every citizen's responsibility to protect our rich heritage and culture. It is also our responsibility to see that our precious heritage is transferred to the next generation. We shall try to create awareness in this aspect.
Promoting Good Governance
Good governance is possible only when people acquire the strength to question when things go wrong. We will educate people about the importance of voting, choosing the right candidate and being a part of the Governance process.
Transforming Rural India
The difference between the two different Indias is more vividly visible than ever. And as Gandhiji said, Villages are where India lives. We will help people from rural areas by using the latest technology and resources so that they can improve their livelihood. We will also work with Handloom weavers & those involved in Handicrafts. With the support of the burgeoning e-commerce market across the world, we will showcase and market the products of these traditional crafts so that they get their due and lead better lives.
