Why Choose India?
India is a colorful and fascinating country.
Volunteer will surely be enchanted by the
magnitude of contrasts that is concealed in this
country. Here volunteer will find deep
traditional and cultural roots existing side by
side with the modern impact of globalization.
India is the only country on the globe with
unity in diversity. The language, the tradition
and the culture changes after every 100
kilometer. Here volunteer will find people
having faith in many religions with wide range
of rituals and customs which cannot be found
anywhere else.
India is a land of fairy tales, princess,
palaces and preening peacocks with a proud
history of giant forts. Volunteer also find
hills, deserts, seas, green fields and also the
forests. In cities you will encounter
overcrowded markets, sky scrapers, and latest
model of cars with all the facilities of lavish
living available and opposite to that in rural
areas you will find people are still living in
mud houses with simplicity and traveling by
camel and bullock carts and they are lacking
with the basic amenities of life. Indians pride
themselves in their hospitality. There is a
Hindu saying “Atithi Devo Bhav”, which means
“Guest is God”. Most Indians practice this
saying and you will be met by friendly and
curios people, who wants to make your stay
enjoyable and as good as possible.
India is the second largest populated country in
the world besides the rate of development is
very fast but somehow the economic growth is not
high. The gap between rich and poor is very
wide, which means that the underprivileged
population of India is very much in need. People
who live in the rural and remote areas are very
poor. Some of them choose to move to the nearby
big cities to seek their fortune. Very few of
them succeed in this quest and end up living on
the streets of Metro cities; many of the
children end up in orphanages. This is only a
very small part of the problems in India. There
are lots of other problems pertaining to
education, health, social and family welfare,
because of poverty and lack of awareness. The
need is to give special attention to wipe it off
by putting all possible efforts against this
dark side of life.
