W.A.R Foundation- A Quiet Revolution

All of us have noticed many large organizations and N.G.O's (not-for-profit) exercising Corporate Social Responsibility in order to serve society and contribute towards the economic development of our nation. Many are the one's who get this sense of responsibility fulfilled by spending hefty amount as charity or donations. And, on the other hand, there are one's who actually roll up their sleeves, get out on streets, with an inexplicable fire and promise in their eyes, for doing SOMETHING big and unimaginable. These people have silently outraged CSR and have like just taken an oath of creating an Outcry against inhumanity, dishonesty, corruption and all evil doers in society. These men are not afraid of anything and have a strange inextinguishable fire in their bellies.

Have got to know about many such honorable men in recent times. It includes many individuals who have paid huge opportunity costs, leaving MNC jobs after IIT - IIM combo pack and starting NGO's, or other society serving organizations. Saluting the tri-color far above duo-degree. Adding on the legends who have joined Police force, Army, Military, Politics with faithful aims, and many who made to be IAS officers. Hundreds among them remain unrecognized, yet working hard and fulfilling their responsibility just like anything. Not forgetting to salute many who are on their way, making regular efforts, for achieving something to make a mark.

The feelings and the thought process that these type of people carry, can just make one feel so small and could make one realize the sense of responsibility he has towards the War against Injustice'S. Their Crazy attitude, Animal like Spirit, Wo Jasba kuch kar dikhane ka, Junoon they have in their eyes ,scream aloud saying- Rok Sako to Rok Lo...
I remember someone actually saying in a video- “Kya karna padega? Raat ko Roz der tak kaam karna hai, karenge. Nahi hua to subah fir jaldi uthenge...Usse bhi nahi bana to soyenge nahi raat bhar yaar, par kuch karke bataenge...” tears popped out of his eyes while saying so... Can anyone Stop people like him fulfilling their dreams? Kaun Rokega Inhe???

Having taken in to account all these happening factors, yet it makes us feel something missing and incomplete from our side when we see our denizens begging on signals, people robbing judiciary, breaking unstructured laws, promoting child labor etc...For sure we cannot resolve all these issues, but beginning with something for doing SOMETHING can make us eligible to at least stand in front of honorable men we talked about.

We even had this type of sensational discussion in our Entrepreneurship class at PROTON a couple of weeks back. Many would be entrepreneurs expressed their POV's on the same. We came on topic- Is it essential to realize CSR only when you get too big in Corporate world? No not at all, can't start it now, hand in hand with whatever corporate giant dream we have for us..? Hence born- W.A.R Foundation – A Quiet Revolution.

The objective what we as a group have decided while going for Walk, Act and Rise Foundation, is to do many small things with a not-for-profit motive (viz-a-viz our daily rat race routine) which could help creating awareness, making people happy and hence serving the society. We had been through three stages for this as of till now. Would like to come up with in depth info on all 3 of them separately in next post.
