Again and again it has been proved that ideas can change the life and destiny of aperson. Communication, inspiration and motivation can transform any person from

being an ordinary person into an extra-ordinary person. Self motivated and

committed youth can collectively achieve any objective and can simply transform

our planet. There are only a few institutions trying to transform the present day

youth into a conscious, spiritual and dedicated youth.

We made a humble beginning in 1997 by starting career guidance programmes. We

conducted many career guidance programmes in schools and colleges in and

around Bikaner. We realized that there was a need to motivate and inspire the

youth. Most of the students didn’t have a clarity regarding their career goal and

aspirations for life. Most of the youth didn’t consider social welfare or socialdevelopment as the goal of life. Hence, there was a need for doing something in this

direction. We realized that the youth could do a great work, if only they were

properly motivated. However, we also realized that the teachers, who could

transform them, were also not self motivated. Many teachers didn’t realize the

power they possessed. At that juncture, we realized that there is a need to do

something broader. We started Afterschool Career Guidance Trust at that time and

started Centre for Social Entrepreneurship in this to promote all these concepts.

From the beginning, we have offered all our programmes on no-profit basis. In fact

we havn’t yet started charging for our programmes. The founders (Trilok Kumar Jain

and Kalpana Jain) devote their time, money and resources for this cause, just to

propagate this concept. Now we want to spread this concept in other parts of the

country also. We are able to get favourable responses from many places. We are

extremely thankful to all those who have invited us to conduct workshops / training

programmes / seminars / symposia. We now want to open centres all over India to

promote our concept, however, we are not yet able to get partners in other places,

as no body seems to take up this cause in the same spirit as we do. In today’s

professional and commercialized world, it is difficult to spread this concept on non-

profit basis, but we are sure that it will benefit and achieve its desired impact – may

be at a smaller level. We have conducted mam

COST OF THE PROGRAMME AND REQUIREMENTS FROM THE HOST

INSTITUTIONS

We are willing to conduct these programmes for every school and college across the

country (but that is not possible – hence we can conduct it in only those institutions,

which invite us). We are not commercially minded on these issues. We are not

asking the institutions to pay us money for conducting these programmes. We just

need little bit assistance in terms of transportation costs, local hospitality and local

infrastructure support. All those institutions, who can help us, are actually going to



help themselves – as our only objective is to strengthen our educational set up so

that we are able to have better education and training for our next generations.
