“I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man [woman], whom you may have seen , and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him [her] will he [she] gain anything by it ? will it restore him ]her]

to a control over his [her] own life and destiny ? In other words, will it lead to swaraj [freedom] for the hungry and spiritually starving millions ? Then you will find your doubts and yourself melt away” M. K. GANDHI

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I Acknowledge Shri S.P.Jakhanwal (retd.IAS), Director General, Amity School of Rural Management, Dr. P.C. Sabharwal , Director of Amity School of Rural

Management Our Faculty

guide Dr. Geetanjali Srivastava, Lecturer , Amity School of Rural Management and other faculty members for their guidance and support throughout my internship.

Internship project was undertaken at Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sanghtan(MKSS) under the guidance of the founder members Shrimati Aruna Roy, Shri Nikhil Dey, Shri Shankar Singh Ji and

my guide Shri Lal Singh Ji Gehlot.. They guided me with extreme love and affection by playing various roles as a mentor, counsellor and at times even a friend. They not only helped me to grow both professionally and personally and gave me the space to think independently and work on my suggestions.

Along with that, the staff and other volunteers at Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sanghtan(MKSS) were very supportive. Internship helped me to assess the needs and the behaviour of rural people and specially

people

who

are

engaged

in

National

Rural

Employment Guarantee Scheme(NREGS) of Rajsamand, Ajmer, Hanumangarh, Bhilwara and Pali District of Rajasthan . They supported me to take the initiatives and to carry out the way of my own interaction with rural people. It would have been impossible to complete internship without their support and I give a special thanks to them for their cooperation.

To whomsoever it may concern This is to certify that Yashpal Choudhary from Amity School of Rural Management interned with the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sanghatan, Rajasthan for the period 20th May to 12th July 2009. Yashpal is an eager learner and an enthusiastic worker. His keen observation and analysis of people, events and pertinent issues enriched discussions that took place in the organization. He also took to the daily chores and adjusted to the simple living of the organization with a lot of ease.
