SIDDHARTHA VASHISHTA CHARITABLE TRUST (REGD.)

Vision

The Jail system is like kidneys of society which filters out the toxins & re-introduces the clean fluid back into our system. This aspect is important and has to be understood that everybody who is in jail will one day be re-introduced into the society. Therefore, we have to try & reform these people and not punish them, as punishment will only bring in ill-will & bitterness.

Ours is the land of the Vedas, the Upanishads and of Gan-dhi where love & forgiveness conquers all. Therefore, this approach of punishment and hate has to transcend into one of reform & change. It is the future of society that is at stake, therefore let it not be someone else’s problem. Make a difference. And you can do it by just changing your atti-tude of negativeness towards those in jail, to an open mind and to look at the positive side also because everyone has a positive side.

People who are in Jail are just like everyone else, they just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe there are a few rotten apples but they are just about 5% of the peole in jail, the rest are in jail because of incidents & accidents, which can happen to anyone. So extend a hand and don’t shrug off your responsibilities towards the future of our society. This is a cause for the betterment of all. I understood it after spending more than 8 years in jail & I feel it is my responsibility to let it be known to as many people as possible.

Please join us, to help us make a better and safer tomor-row.

CATCH THE CANCER

CANCER AWARENESS & DETECTION PROGRAM

Vision

Cancer is the most rapidly growing disease in India and is now reaching epidemic proportions. The largest segment affected by cancer is Breast & Uterus Can-cer in Women and Mouth & Throat Cancer in Men. These happen to be amongst the most ignored symp-toms of illness as there is very little or no awareness about them in people & especially in the urban poor. We at SVCT feel that if detected in time, these can be easily treated. Our vision at SVCT is to help spread awareness and help detect these problems in as many people as possible.

Objectives

 To help create awareness about Breast, Uterus, Mouth & Throat Cancer in the urban poor.

 To hold medical & cancer detection camps in underprivi-leged areas to diagnose & treat cancer patients.

 To hold seminars & video conferences in the slums to teach them self-detection methods and spread awareness.

CHANCE FOR CHANGE

REHABILITATION OF CONVICTS

Vision

All people who are convicted are not per say crimi-nals. They are more often that not victims of circum-stances. They too were normal citizens who made a mistake & ultimately they too will join mainstream society and therefore they should be given a chance to change. We at SVCT strongly believe that human beings are not bad but circumstances fare differ-ently for different people. Therefore, SVCT is trying to help effect this change.

Objectives

 Training in different fields (vocational training) with certification.

 Help in getting suitable jobs.

 To create awareness among youth & business enterprises to help them rehabilitate.

 Help them in becoming self-reliant, build self-worth & live a dignified life post release.

 To finance & support needy inmates after their release.

HUMAN TOUCH

CHILD EDUCATION PROGRAM

Vision

The children of jail inmates suffer for want of educa-tion, books and medical attention as usually their earning parents are in jail and they also become stigmatic. Therefore, we at SVCT feel that it is our moral duty to try and help out & support as many families as possible. These children have done nothing wrong & deserve a chance to build their future like all other children. They should not pay for the mistakes of their parents. By helping these children, we will help build a better society.

Objectives

 The objective of this program is to make Educational & Medical Aid available to all the families of poor & under-privileged jail inmates.

 To develop self worth in them.

 To help them face life with their heads held high.

 To give them a feeling that they are not outcast from the society.

 To ensure they do not get frustrated & take to wrong ways.

 To help build a secure society which has love & forgiveness & not condemnation.

Children of more than 100 inmates have been provided with educational fees, books & uniforms.

 Four Cancer detection camps have been held in the Wazirpur slum cluster.

 62 inmates have been provided employ-ment post their release from Tihar.

 In future, one cancer detection medical camp will be held every week.

 Application for education & medical aid of 500 children is under process.

 A distribution network of Jail products to be sold by families of inmates and vic-tims as retailers is proposed.
