Nirmaan Organization
[edit]Nirmaan Organization is a registered non-governmental organization (NGO) headquartered at Hyderabad, Telangana, India. Founded in 2005 by alumni of BITS Pilani, Nirmaan has a presence across 23 states in India.
Nirmaan is recognized as one of the prominent and leading NGOs in India, committed to initiatives in Education, Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Health and Wellbeing, Environment, Rural Development and Social Leadership[1]. It operates several chapters in the United States, including Washington D.C., New Jersey, Philadelphia, Seattle, Bay Area of California, Dallas in Texas, Chicago in Illinois, and Charlotte in North Carolina.
Organization History
[edit]Nirmaan Organization was established by a group of students from BITS Pilani University on February 12, 2005. Drawing inspiration from the teachings of Swami Vivekananda and Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, these students started teaching to the children of mess workers and construction labor and used to visit local villagers. One day, Kashiram Ka, their regular student, who worked as a Rikshawala, didn’t appear in the gathering. Wondered, the students visited his home and ended up realizing that Rikshawala had met with an accident and was bedridden. His girl child had to drop out to help her mother in day to day work, they couldn’t afford medical care nor proper food – they were eating roti that was cooked days ago.
This encounter left a lasting impact on the students and motivated them to explore deeper on one’s responsibility for a better tomorrow for others and nation-building. Back to the Campus, the group announced a meet-up for those who wanted to contribute to the Nation. The group was pleasantly surprised to see 150+ students dropping in, realizing the very fact that ‘we are NOT ALONE’.
Initially launched as 'My India,' this humble, passion-driven initiative by ten students evolved into 'Nirmaan' in 2007, becoming a registered society with the motto "We Have Only One Passion, The Rise of a Great Nation".
Since its inception, Nirmaan has been successfully led by Mayur Patnala, founder and current Global CEO of the organization.
Under Mr. Patnala's leadership, the organization has focused on strengthening its efforts to ensure an inclusive society and create a long-lasting impact on many underprivileged individuals in need.
