Introduction:

SANSKAR KENDRA is a well organized group of Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology,Burla,Odisha,India Which has been working since 2004 to enrich the moral ethics and educate the needy. We have our Centers at Kirbaa and Panitanki Para(the two near by slums) where many people are below poverty line and they are not able to provide proper education to their children. Education is the only way to transform India and that day is not so far when our country will not be a developing country any more, but a developed one. In our student life we are busy in studying,making and destroying stuffs yet we do have time to spare.That little time we devote to make the world a better place for them too. Vision: The vision of our SANSKAR KENDRA is to develop the rural people of Odisha so that the face of our state towards others will be changed. Though SANSKAR KENDRA is in its initial stage, yet we have dreamt of an Odisha of our dream. We intend to uplift the educational, social, and cultural ethics of the needy. We help them in studying; guide them to choose a suitable career.We teach them the custom of our society. We try to make them self-sustainable. Needy won’t need needs from others. This is our motto.

History: India is a developing country since the British left us. Till now we are struggling to bring a new era in the field of education, health, women empowerment, un-employment etc. There has been no end to our snags. How can we improve when the real us is dying inside and we yet feel nothing for our country. If we the students take some accountability for the improvement of the society, mother India will surely be proud of us. Taking this in mind our super senior brothers initiated SANSKAR KENDRA, a group whose motive was to teach poor & the needy children who roam around in their leisure time.That small seed has now become a large tree under which nearly 150 students are being benifitted. When SANSKAR KENDRA was started, people were not liaising enough. But now the time has changed. A revolutionary change has been cropped up in their minds and now they are more concerned about the future. We taught them to fly and  they are all set for the forthcoming industrialization of our state.

Acivities: Sanskar kendra just was formed to educate the needy children of neighborhood slums.But it is more than just a teaching organisation.It is a temple of knowledge,morals & humanity.Here children are not only imparted with academic knowledge but are also shown the right path to live their life.A person filled with knowledge only and & no ethics is just like a chariot without horses.sanskar kendra put its effort in developing virtues and morals in minds of children to make them a good human being. Daily routine: Since its establishment,each year new members embrace this organisation from the 1st year.There are 12 groups working 6 days in a week in both the slums KIRBA & PANITANKI alloted a particular day in a week to carry out the task of teaching the children from 6 pm to 9 pm (lable to change). In each group their is at least one 3rd year student who takes the charge of 2nd year & 1st year students under him. Every student is assigned with a specific subject of a single class and he takes full responsibility of completing the syllabus with in time in a effective manner. Attendance register of all children is maintained to keep an eye on their regularity. Another register is maintained for the University students who, through this register, mark their presence and also indicate the homework given to their respective classes. it helps us to monitor the punctuality and sincerity of the members regarding their under taken responsibility.

The children pursuing their studies in SANSKAR KENDRA spend maximum time in their homes, so unless the parents are awakened to their senses,the upliftment of children is difficult. So a parent - teacher meeting is conducted on weekly basis. In these meetings, parents are guided and advised on matters regading their children's education and future. These meetings have resulted in good co-ordination between the parents and Sanskar kendra members which is reflected in the behaviour of children. Practice of Yoga: Yoga is a well-renouned practice which has now spread from INDIA to abroad signifying its importace in our day-to-day life.Keeping this above things in mind Sanskar Kendra team has made provision for yoga classes for the children.Once in every week yogic experts visit these slums areas and reveal to the children the rich techniques of yoga.Yoga not only helps the children to maintain a healthy body with healthy mind but also directs their thought in the proper direction.This helps them to fully concentrate and give their best in any task undertaken by them. Festivals: Festivals are the time when people get together to celebrate life and thank "The Almighty" for his grace. Festivals not only thrill our spirits but also rejuvenate us. So Team Sanskar Kendra celebrates certain festivals with the beloved children as a family. Lord Ganesha is the God of wisdom & Goddess Saraswati is the deity of knowledge. To seek their blessings, Sanskar kendra observes Ganesh puja and Saraswati puja in a very delightful manner. The bond between children and teachers is strengthened by celebrating Raksha Bandhan. Diwali is the festival of light which signifies victory of good over evil. With the hope to eradicate all the evil customs in our society, we celebrate Diwali in humble manner. Parents are the honest representation of God on earth. Sanskar Kendra reminds the children about the importance of parents in thier life by observing Matru-Pitru Diwas on 14th february. co-curricular activities: Sanskar Kendra also concentrates to enhance soft skills among the children which would help them in future. Sankar Kendra organises various competitions like elocution,essay,singing,dancing,etc. which helps the children to open up and to identify their talents. Sanskar Kendra also organises some competitions in near by schools to boost confidence in the participants. Near the end of the session, an annual function is organised to motivate the children by awarding them for their performance. The children who pass board exams 1st division are also awarded for their hard-work and sincerity.

Special activities : Sanskar kendra has not limited itself to only education. It also makes sure that the children get exposure to the outer world and adjust in these modern changing times.Tours like visiting science express, museums , etc are planned whenever possible.The children are also taught the importance of environment and once in every year a plantation programme is planned in an attempt to bring the children closer to the nature.With the help of various organisations, every year free health camp is organised to ensure good health of the children and to provide them with hygiene tips.
