Diwali festival is a time to have spread joy and cheer. let’s not restrict it just to our friends and family this time. Make your Diwali festival more joyous not by mere bodily but by heart. Spare just few moments to think for the poor children of your neighborhood.
A small effort from you can light up the life of a child in need and in that process you can also Educate, Entertain, bring Smile and make them feel that they are a Part of Us. Give them hope. Sell them dreams. Play with them and teach them some good habits. Do this Good Karma. It will be your best Diwali gift ever! Worth claps and admiration!!
Donate old clothes & other household items- You can also carry forward this initiative and can collect clothes and other old items from your neighbors, office, school, etc and can donate among poor children.
Donate Food- Once in a while, make food packets and give it to poor children. It is like a drop in the ocean but it will really feed those 15-20 kids at that time. So, it's worth the effort.
Encourage others- To help people who are earning less like Maids, Watchman, Washer-man, Driver, etc. May be a one time help of INR 5000-10000 Rupees on the treatment of a kid of an underprivileged person will go a long way.
Arrange a Buffet for poor kids- If there is a function at your home or neighborhood then you can volunteer to donate the left out food to a poor children so that rather that getting wasted that can feed some poor hungry people.
Please don't forget to watch these three videos. Just click on the below given titles:
I have one great suggestion from the perspective of undergrad student- For all those who have just completed their graduation, the best way for an undergrad student to support poor children is by sharing knowledge he has gathered in so many years. As the education system in India for poor children is crippled, this way you are actually help them in building their future which is far much noble than giving them money. Do not feel shy in going alone to slums to teach children.
If you add to your teaching activity once in a year (or more as per your desire)- fund raising events, food donation, cloth donation, motivation sessions etc., there will be overall development of you and poor children, and that way of our entire society.
Let's first ask ourselves, What is Society? - the aggregate of people living together in a more or less ordered community.
By Betterment of Society What do we Wish to Do?:
Upliftment of Society?
Qualities to Improve Collective Action?
Friendship and Mutual Support?
Science and Education?
Spiritual and Moral Upliftment?
Individual and Social Transformation?
Global Solidarity?
Gender Equality?
Mutual Respect?
The Fact is, we already know what we need to do for the betterment of the society, What we need to figure out is "How"?

It is very well said by Mahatma Gandhi that 'Be the change that you wish to see in the world.’
Pick an area on which you wish to work on, and discuss with an open perspective and absorb what you feel about it and keep exploring by talking about what you feel with your circle, but don't form an opinion yet. Slowly, Start Expanding your Horizon of Knowledge. And soon what you will do will start affecting people around you.
Society is held together by our need. We bind it together with legend, myth, coercion, fearing that without it we will be hurled into that void, within which, like the earth before the Word was spoken, the foundations of society are hidden.
The undermentioned is a list of just few things a person needs to do for the betterment of society:
1. Stop supporting useless and nonsense social costumes and rules. Even if leaders of the society give reasons like ‘this is our culture/morality/ethics’ or like ’our ancestors have been doing this for ages’, try hard to dissociate yourself from social evils.

2. Stop teaching your kids about social evils. Kids are going toconstitute the society in future. You are present, ensuring well being of future is your responsibility even at the cost of past. So don’t let your kids learn about bad things of the society. Teach them that they are free to change the rule as per requirement as rules are made to make life easy.
3. Find people like you and create a new society, slowly replacing the old one . A society is a group of people collaborating among each other for living. A group of good people will make good society.
Hope this Diwali festival will be proved the best ever of your life and you will soon be a part of a good as well as happy society…...
