Skill Development

Social Doctors
All stakeholders

A brain surgeon or medical doctor will fail if she or he tries to do difficult plumbing job.
But an illiterate but experienced plumber in India can do that job perfectly because he has skills and develops it everyday with experience.
A brain surgeon's expertise is brain surgery and not plumbing.
So a brain surgeon should update latest technology & issues related to brain as well as expert & experienced doctor's skill.

A nurse can not do heart operation even if she is there in the operation theatre while operation is done.
This is because she is not skilled to operate. She is skilled to offer help, not operation skills. And she is not certified to do operation.
Yes, both her and doctor spend same time in operation theatre. Infact she spends more time.
So a doctor has a medical skills to operate and has sufficient certification, knowledge & experience.

So skill development is for people from all categories in all countries.
Because even if one has skills, one must update them because new technologies are emerging.
But we limit our skill development forum to only a few skills, typically for those who desparately need them for their survival.

Skill development is practical experience.
Seminars, conferences or experts on the issue based in different countries or within the country where one lives update the skills you have.

We share the programmes related to skill development from different countries but with a difference.
We share links to the programmes and not our views because everyone has different views or perspectives.
And we dont want to be the judge.
The other important thing about links is one can directly reachout to related NGOs, Corporates, Funding Agencies, Philanthropists, celebrities, UN and Government.
"Not through us" is important because we dont want to be in betweens or agents. And more importantly, we can not do justice to answering thousands of calls on which NGO on which issue or which corporate helps particular issue or for a particular issue which funding agency helps in any specific country.

The insufficient skills and illiteracy compel the poor section of the society to put more physical efforts than those which really need.. So despite sweating hard, they manage only daily wage.
Because they dont have skills, they use human labour elements.
If the same person is a skilled plumber, then it benefits her or him live life and gives them relaxation time to conserve energy for tomorrow.
Its the same story for skilldevelopment or children or disabled or women or youth or whatever category one thinks of.

Even in the films, a skiiled actor doesnt need too many retakes.
The first shot manytimes is ok. It not only saves time for her or him, but for all the people associated there and it really makes economic sense to be skilled artist.

Now for some, this skill was always there but even the best artist is not a perfect artist.
She or he needs to upgrade skills, know latest technological advances .. so skill development is like a Change which is constant.

NGOs are Non Government Organisations and they help Governments in addressing the challenges of the issue.
So in NGO coverage we will include government departments so that one knows how government is helping the issue and also will add UN help because in most of the cases UN works with governments of countries.

In case of Thane district which is a district in India, we are integrating the work of Government, NGOs, UN, Corporates, Corporate Foundations, Funding Agencies, Philanthropists & Celebrities and value volunteering groups. So instead of Skill Development NGOs in any Thane district, the link goes to Skill Development Thane.

Please Note
We are sharing the names of NGOs and in some places link to their website so that visitors can see the actual programme.
It is not possible either through human intelligence or artificial intelligence to study the credibility of 300 000 NGOs.
Hence the donors can directly check the credibility of the NGOs they partner with through their own departments or can use consultants or experts or other specialised portals.

In case of India, many large corporates have offices or branches at district level, so their employees at the location can also voluntarily check the credibility of the NGOs.

It may help if donors approach the local bank (village, city or district level branch) to know whether the NGO has any transactions in the last 6 months or a year. (We are not saying ask amount but they can say check the credibility of the donor any may share the facts - again, not number of transactions or amount in transaction, more so if they know that some one is trying to help the communities through NGOs and are helping the government in tackling social challenges)

CSRidentity.com thinks that many NGOs may be doing good work to help local communities but may not get donors at village level, so they use their own funds or get some support from District, State / UT or National Governments. So it is not right to exclude their name but at the same time give precautions to donors.

Please note that we have observed that in case of NGOs in India, they share their name in 10 or more issues on related government site. So 2 50 000 NGOs in India may mean that 25 00 000 times the names of these 2 50 000 NGOs are shared.

NGOs in countries other than India

Skill Development : Success Stories

A heart operation (cardiac surgery) is succesful not just when patient is alive but is doing well like she or he was before heart surgery. That's impact.

Now heart attack can be because of various factors.

So in skill development, we share various skill development challenges & success story which addresses the challenge successfully.

While deciding on success story, we faced challenges as to whether we should share success stories countrywise or we should share success story on issues within the skill development issue.

We want to brand issues as well as countries.
We are making efforts to brand countries separately, so while issue branding, we will share success sotry on each subissue and within the example, it can be from any country.

We were thinking of success stories of actual beneficieries.
But we then thought that instead of just one beneficiery we should share the organisation which helps many people.

Donors give funding to organisations and not individuals. So it is better to help enhance the brand value of donor as well as donation receiver whether it is NGO or Government or UN.

So we have decided to share the project (just one para) and link it to the related organisation, so that you can see details info and contact them directly.

Give funds directly to the related organisation and not through us because we just drive this promotion platform globally. You can or need not mention our name because we no way take credit for the programme. Credit must go to the donor anddonee, with or without us.

Success stories are from NGOs, Corporate Foundations, Governments, UN from any country in the world.

We share links to corporate programme because corporates are social investors in CSR and they have a team which looks after which NGO, Government, UN to partner for impact of the money they donate (invest in right word, though technically, its a donation). So ideally all corporate donations are success stories.

Of course, some corporates do it for some purpose which is not shared officially.
