NATIONAL VOLUNTEERING WEEK 2021

4 NATIONAL VOLUNTEERING WEEK 2021 Overview

Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) a collective of businesses through its in- stitution India@75 Foundation has been working on a nation-building agenda for over a decade. In 2008, CII evolved a vision for the nation through a pan India consultative process called ‘India@75 – The People’s Agenda’. It embarked on an industry-led movement to achieve the vision objective of an inclusively developed India by the year 2022 by focusing on seven growth areas. It entailed Industry collaborating both internally and with different stakeholder groups to synergize their efforts and align the same with national priorities to accentuate the process set by the Government of India.

At the core of India@75’s vision is collaboration and people’s participation. Volun- teering is an enabler for both. National Volunteering Week (NVW) was instituted in 2014, held from 18 to 24 January every year and since then it has grown from strength to strength. It is an effort to showcase volunteering as a simple and most powerful form of multi-stakeholder collaboration that can be pivotal in addressing some of the most critical gaps in the country’s development agenda. Every year, non-profits, academic institutions, corporates, other organization from across the country come together to organize activities specifically for this week. The intent is to create as many volunteering opportunities as possible so that more and more people can engage directly with the nation’s development. The week offers numerous activities that include cleaning drives, plantation drives, teaching, food distribution, health camps and pro-bono services.

A major initiative by India@75 for strengthening the volunteering ecosystem has been in the creation of the National Volunteering Grid (NVG), an online platform for all types of volunteers like individuals, organizations, communities and corporates to participate, collaborate, co-create and deliver by mapping the common areas of interest. India@75 focuses especially on pro-bono volun- teering; thus, giving professionals, the opportunity to contribute their domain expertise and time to build capacities of grassroot organizations to enable them in achieving scales with efficiency.

As we move closer to celebrating the 75th year of India’s independence in 2022, CII and India@75 Foundation invites every individual, group and institution to join this volunteering movement to participate, collaborate and contribute to the development and growth of our nation.

5 NATIONAL VOLUNTEERING WEEK 2021 Thoughts From Leaders

Dr Naushad Forbes, Past President, CII, Co-Chairman, Forbes Marshall & Chairman, India@75 Foundation “Passion and core competencies of our youth must be harnessed and channelized by providing them volunteering opportunities to directly contribute to the nation’s growth. Creating corps of ‘India Development Fellows’ could be a viable solution to tap the talent and align it with national priorities; infusion of new ideas and disruptive approach will surely rejuvenate and provide much needed impetus to the development sector.”

Mr. Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General, CII “Voluntary work should be viewed at par with paid work and as an attractive parallel career. In fact, it is important that we look at introducing metrics to measure social impact and calculate the aggregated monetized value as a percentage of GDP. Awards and recognition from governments and employers would also motivate and encourage youth to come forward.”

Mr. Rajan Navani, Chairman, CII Council on India@75, Vice Chairman & MD, JetLine Group of Companies, Founder & CEO – JetSynthesys “Volunteering is most fundamental of all collaborations, also most strategic as it is rooted in a common desire for larger good. Rising popularity of the National Volunteering Week over the past eight years brings to fore the urgent need for creation of a structured volunteering ecosystem in the country, to enable leveraging of the potential of people who want to engage directly with the development of the nation. It is indeed high time that Bharat symbolically has its own ‘National Volunteering Day.”

Ms. Bhairavi Jani, Co-Chair CII Council on India@75, Chairperson & Founder - IEF Entre- preneurship Foundation, Executive Director - SCA Group “In a democratic polity, the role of a citizen is way beyond just voting in an election. India is a nation of 1.3 billion people and it is when we create, facilitate and expand platforms for engaging her citizens in her developmental journey, is when we create opportunities for democracy to deepen and thrive. Moreover, our demographic dividend of a large youth population will be truly realised, when our young people co-create and participate in volunteering for the cause of India’s overall development.”

Mr. DNV Kumara Guru, Director External Relations, Indian School of Business, Past National Chair, Yi “At the core of any civic engagement is the recognition that everyone can and should contribute to solving problems that our country is facing. Individuals can choose the route of volunteering while bigger stakeholders should look at strategic alliances that result in actionable solutions.”

Ms. Smita Agarwal, Director & CFO-PTC Industries, National Vice Chairperson, Yi “To initiate the culture of volunteering among youth, it is important that we first engage them in small acts of kindness. Over time this will help make them more empathetic, informed and balanced in their worldview.”
