Few thoughts about Notebooks & Stationery Distribution

In the last Samaj Utkarsh, we read that as many as 770 students of 435 families took advantage of notebook & stationery distribution scheme of the samaj. This is the statistics provided by Yuvak Mandal. We can very well assume that same number of students would also have taken advantage of the scheme offered by Mota Mandal. Numerically, this is a big achievement but in our view it is not a glorious achievement as more or less same number of students come to collect their quota of notebooks & stationery every year so those at the helm of affair are well experienced to handle these many students.

We want to make it clear that what we are discussing is multi point alternative/addition to existing arrangement. All of which can not necessarily be implemented. But, If the committee likes some points we would be happy and if they do not like any then also we are happy that we have said whatever we wanted to.

Let us discuss the quality of the work undertaken.

First of all, both the mandals are running parallel activity which we would call duplication . What we mean by duplication is we over feed a particular class and keep some other class unfed or under fed. It would be wise if one of the mandals hands over the work to other mandal and look for other activity which could be useful to members. Duplication is waste of resources not of money but also of man power.

If both the mandals ignore our request and continue with their current activity, they can make life easy for members by having 2 counters of distribution each at Dadar & Masjid in the offices of both the mandals so members do not have to rush to 2 places on the same day at the same time in rush hours and carry 6/7 kg load . On working days , ladies are coming to collect the notebooks and for them to lift 6-7 kg of load is very difficult. At 6 kg per student, parents have carried 770X 6 = 4620 kg (i.e. 4.62 tonnes) weight to their homes. Little planning can save lot of discomfort to members. But for that both the mandals should work in tandem. Who will blink first forgetting their ego ? The answer is one who has good of the samaj at heart.

Still better would be to study the areas from where our members come to collect the notebooks & stationery. After locating the areas open an outlet near those areas for distribution so the members face least hardship. we know there is a problem of keeping the stock of material to be distributed at different places but you have to handle the situation in a business like manner. As in business when there is an opportunity we do not think of problems but advantages. Committee should not think who would do all that ? But should think how this could be achieved? It is difficult but achievable and with experience, we can always refine our plan. As such no plan is perfect. There is room for improvement always. It is better to try and do something than not to do at all. Do not be afraid of failures. Those who work can fail but those who do not work do nothing.

We would still go further to say that we can think of delivery system (Courier based) so that people get their material at their door step. This today looks far reached but in days to come we may have to think of that too. We will rather be forced to think.

This year the distribution is over and next will be after a year. This is the time for introspection. During this time committee should make a list of the families who did not take part in the project though there were school going children in the family. Know their problems, understand them and if their points are valid and just ,try to modify your distribution system so they are attracted toward the project. There may be a few families which may feel that they should not get the notebooks & other stationery from the mandal as they can afford them from open market. They should be convinced that if they do not want to get the benefit of the project they can donate the amount to samaj but in no circumstances they should buy from open market as their participation will encourage others as well to join.

Look at GHOGHARI SAMAJ, every member of their samaj is getting educational expenses from their samaj irrespective of their financial position. We would like to see that happen to us as well.

Lastly, When we place the order for these notebooks & stationery items it has to be bought in whole sale. These quantities do not match with the requirement we may have from members so there has to be surplus/ shortage of the items distributed . What is being done to those extra items ? They should be sold at a concessional rate to the members in open just like Derasarjis sell sweets after SANGH JAMAN. This can also increase your cash inflow.

In summary :
1) Let one of the samaj hand over this work to other so only one samaj handles the whole project to avoid duplication. Saving our resources.
2) Both the mandals should join hands to distribute notebooks at both their offices.Thus facilitate the members from running to 2 places on the same day in rush hour.
3) Locate the pockets from where maximum members come to collect the notebooks & other items and transfer your place of distribution there.
4) In future, Courier service may be a possibility.
5) Locate those members who do not take part in the project even if they are entitled to do so. Convince them to take part and if hesitant, ask them to donate to samaj but participate they must.
6) Sale surplus items to members and en-cash your investment which may go waste.

ADMIN SAYS : We are not interested in discussions suggested by Hiren. We are throwing light on the issues our SAMAJ face. It is for the members of the SAMAJ to wake up and ask for the explanation from the concerned person. If you do that , our job is done. Whatever we have stated is not the personal grievance but needs to be addressed for the larger good of the SAMAJ. Please do not misunderstand us.

Our Identity

Thank you for your positive response. We are getting SMSes from members of samaj welcoming us and encouraging us.

One SMS reads like this : "Congratulations to you for this good work eager to know you rashmikant j shah"

Not only through SMS but also through phones members try to find out our identity. We would have been very happy to say who we are but some considerations are holding us back from revealing our identity.

Before we say what prevents us from showing our face, we would request all the eager members of the samaj to allow us to work peacefully and allow us to remain unidentified. Let us have our space and let us have our privacy as we need them for working efficiently.

Now, here are some reasons for keeping ourselves behind the screen.

We want to be neutral. We don't wish to take side of one group against another as our role is that of a journalist. we are like umpires in a match. They are present in the match , they have very important role in the match but they do not play the match. They do not win or lose the match . They judge the match.

We want to report on the issues of the samaj. we may criticise or appreciate some works of the working committee of both mandals or other mandals(Ghatkopar, Mahila etc) of the samaj. Unfortunately these mandals do not gel well with each other.

For example donations received by mota mandal are never printed in Samaj Utkarsh. Eye check up and operations by Ghatkopar Mandal are not reported in Samaj Utkarsh. For shradhdhanjali in Samaj Utkarsh you have to pay hefty Rs. 2000 (This discourages the members to give their advertisement). Ultimately all these work against the good of the samaj. Mota mandal very often do not hold elections on one pretext or other thus they make the working of the samaj activity stagnant. As a result needy people suffer. Now, if we say who we are and publish certain criticism of such acts , they will try to pressurise us to stop writting their wrong doings.

Our wish & goal are to make all the mandals work in tandem with each other without competition. we wish all the mandal supplement and complement each other in a harmonious way to the larger good of the samaj. One mandal should not be jealous of the other mandal's activity but should be ,on the contrary, happy to see that members of the samaj are benefited by such work.

There is lot to be done. We are lagging behind in many activities which other samajs are undertaking. If one mandal is taking up a project , we can always take another project which is totally different from the first project. There is no need to compete. There are many projects available for execution. There is need to think out of box. To identify project which we can undertake for samaj. Do not use your energies in competing and fighting with each other but help each other to succeed in their project. Have brotherly love. Forget past issues. Forget your egos . No body remembers you if you leave the samaj with no work or some petty work. You do honorary work of samaj to make friends and not foes. So wisdom is in spreading the goodwill by doing good deeds and allowing others who follow you to emulate such good works.

amen
