Rejuvenating SPANDAN

Hello friends

SPANDAN recently completed three years of it's functioning. Though 3 years looks a long time but for an organization its growth is decided not on the basis of number of years of its functioning but the work it had executed and change it made. On this scale I feel SPANDAN is still in its childhood.

As last 9 months I was not able to contribute much towards the development of SPANDAN so I thought I will give my best to it in coming 2 months. In this two months I am planning to metamorphose SPANDAN and to rejuvenate it completely.

Present Situation and Problems

Number of members =35-40
Though the number looks good many of them are not self driven and they need to guide to participate in SPANDAN’s activities.

Major Problems

1. There is no proper organization structure in place which will make sure the work will go on smoothly.
2. The activities lack planning. The work is getting executed in ad hock manner.
3. There is no work that can be visible and tangible so for the entry level member it is difficult to decide what he can do.
4. As most of the members are students and always busy with their studies their bandwidth available is less.
5. At present the members are only from COEP hence activities depends on their schedule.
6. The group is not yet registered which creates limitation in fund generation and in execution of some activities also.
7. There is no corpus collected for the activities at presents funds are generated from the some working members.
8. There no tie up with the other NGOs or social groups apart from Akansha.
9. No centralized communication tool which make the group activities visible both internally and externally.
10. Many ideas and initiatives not get completed due to lack of the tracking and reporting.


Action Plan

After studying the above listed problems here I am ready with the action plan

1. Work on to decide the organization structure and registration procedure.
2. To identify the work so that the work is visible and tangible to the members.
3. To increase the member base and involve members apart from COEP students.
4. Tie up with the various organizations working in the areas of interest of SPANDAN and request them to contact SPANDAN for any assistance in their activities.
5. Fund generation fix target 1,000 00 Rs.
6. To identify the means in which fix corpus can be build and also to generate the regular funding.
7. To build a centralized communication tool (interactive website), which will help in internal, external communication and also bring transparency in SPANDAN’s functioning.

I will be working on this action plan over next 2 months and expect cooperation from all of you.
I will update you will the progress periodically.
