Nirmaan is a Non Profit Organisation started by Students of Bits-Pilani which works in areas of Education and Employment. With respect to education we have a major project, Gyan Bodh, an evening school program where we teach about 70 kids of pilani at Gyan Vihar. And with respect to Employment we have Self Help Groups as a major project. As a first step we have started a stitching centre in khedla which is running smoothly with 8 trainees.


After the stupendous success achieved in khedla training centre Nirmaan aimed at bringing out the hidden talent of people in other villages as well. As our second step we choose Harinagar Colony in order to carry out our mission of forming a network of training centres. After a survey and an interaction with the people we realized that it has good potential. We started publicizing this cause by distributing pamphlets among them.

The inauguration of the training centre took place on 14th September 2008. The chief guests for the event being Mrs.Surekha Bhanot , Electronics and Instrumentation chief professor, Mr.Rajesh Agarwaal,preseident of an NGO Jilha Paryavaran Sudhar Samiti

Firstly a meditation session was conducted by Mr.O S Verma at 10.45 am. The training centre was inaugurated at 11 am by our honorable chief guest Mrs.Surekha Bhanot and a puja was held to appease Lord Ganesha.

Then we had a motivational speech by Mrs.Surekha Bhanot to all the women. She quoted instances from her own life and inspired them to work. Later Mr.Rajesh Agarwaal spoke about the NGO he is working with and also briefed them about SHG’s activities like Savings, Bank account and generating income.Our work till date done in Khedla was described by Mr.Naresh
