Vision
Our Vision is to enrich children’s education, especially for the economically weaker sections of the Indian society.
If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach/educate the people - Confucius
Mission Statement
Operation Vignaan is based on the belief that education is the path to economic independence and thrives to make this achievable to the lower socio-economic strata of the Indian society by providing these children the means to education.
We believe that each of us can contribute in our own way towards the cause of education and make a child’s life more meaningful. Education, leading to employment is the key to a better future. There are millions of children around the world who have been handed a raw deal, maybe by simply being born into unfortunate circumstances. India alone has over 40 million children who do not go to school due to lack of books or clothes. Operation Vignaan hopes to provide a platform for individuals who want to come forth and give these children a chance to improve their lives.
So join us in our effort to make this change happen.
Genesis and Exodus
Founded by Y. Naveen Kumar in the remembrance of his father late Y. Munirathnam Naidu, who worked as a teacher and made a difference in many children’s lives.
From its simple beginning in 2009 as an initiative to provide education, shelter and clothing for the rural needy children of the Indian society.
Education is the basis of development; thus, we provide education in order to enhance their life as well as the future of the country. Education to Children gives a shape to this civilization. Education enables a child to lay strong foothold in this world. It enables every child to stand on their feet and earn a livelihood for themselves.
We have organized a number of camps and workshops in various areas to create awareness about the importance of education among the people. We also help the children in monetary terms. Further, we provide stationary to the needy children.
Since 2009, We organized the event on 24th February of every year on behalf of Naveen uncle's (Dr Pavuluri Krishna Babu & Ratnakumari) daughter Pavuluri Kiran Mayi
Naveen's Message:
And I wish to say now; People are our greatest assets.
Ordinary people spend their most valuable time making money
But extraordinary people utilize their time in making people
You don’t need to be a multi-billionaire to be generous.
Money is not the only thing you can give.
An encouraging word from you can give hope of a better tomorrow to a promising youth
A smile from you can help someone on a suicide mission reverse it!
It’s all about serving others...
Looking for ways to add value to them...
That’s the way to achieving significance in life.
Your purpose in life is not only “to have and to hold” but also “to give and serve”.
A wise saying from my place asked; “why do men greedily amass and store up material possessions? Even if we have unimaginable riches we will die, if we build uncountable houses, we will still die.
Our service to others could be through mentoring them, feeding homeless
people, sharing our faith with them, spending quality time and commitments with our friends and families etc
Being generous is not a function of income...it’s a function of the heart.
It doesn’t come from the top of the purse, but from the bottom of the heart.
As for me;
I might not have RICHES... I have REASON
I might not have a JOB yet... I have my JOY still
I might not have a fat FINANCIAL ACCOUNT now... but I have a robust INTELLECTUAL account now
And I have made a commitment to share my REASON, JOY, and INTELLECT with friends; so that we can all discover and manifest our ultimate destinies.
My question for you today is...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR OTHERS?
A highly successful steel merchant and philanthropist once said; “No man becomes rich unless he enriches others”.
