HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR
01st January 2016 – 31st December 2016
The year 2016-17 for ARYA BHARAT has been a year of experimentation, learning and evolving. The year threw up many challenges, prompted us to push ourselves to new limits, become innovative and emerge with new insights. It made us face many situations where we were challenged to change, modify or recreate the modality to work with our beneficiaries. However, what did not change for us is our zeal to create a ‘World free of pollution, unemployment, poverty, child abuse, etc… The path for this work has never been smooth, and we have faltered, learnt and evolved into being more rooted and compassionate. We are delighted to have exceeded our targets across all of our few programmes. We are learning how to further strengthen and streamline our interventions through regular monitoring, evaluation and timely strategic decision making throughout the organisation. In times of crisis and pain, what has helped us stay the course is the faith that has been bestowed on us by our beneficiaries, partners, funders and well-wishers. Amidst all of this, we are kept motivated when the unemployment, poverty, child abuse, etc… people we work with emerge as champions and participate in their own safety. This year we were fortunate enough to see many such moments, and we would like to give you a glimpse of these through this annual report.
Creating mass awareness on the issue of unemployment, poverty, child abuse, etc… has always been a critical aspect of our work at ARYA BHARAT. We reached out to few individuals through a diverse range of awareness sessions.
ARYA BHARAT also participated in various national and international events and conferences, including:
- NGO Expo
- CSR
Our outreach through social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook has been to few hundreds. This space has been used to create visibility on the issues of women empowerment and entrepreneurship, poverty alleviation, women safety and security, etc… through articles, photos and posters as well as to showcase ARYA BHARAT programmes and outcomes.
ARYA BHARAT has also gained visibility through both print and visual media.

Avoid soda drinks, chocolates, chips, snacks and junk quick bite between meals.

The surgeons also highlighted about the possible formation of harmful acid which develops when bacteria (plaque) get in contact with sugar in the mouth which ultimately results in tooth decay. “Added sugars often are present in soft drinks, candies, cookies, pastries and therefore to help control the consumption of sugar one must read the food labels and choose the right foods and beverages that are low in added sugar”, Dr. Sumit ,Dubey added.
