FROM THE DESK OF STATE PRESIDENT
It gives us great pleasure to dedicate this Annual Report for the year 2015-16 at the Lotus feet of our most beloved Master Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba on behalf of Members of Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisation MPCG.
During the period under report the organizational activities were undertaken in almost all the revenue districts of twin states. Currently organization is working through 210 samithis and 595 bhajan mandalis spread in 29 Sri Sathya Sai Districts of the State.
It had been the endevour of the members of the Organisation to do any activity of any of the 3 wings of the Organisation viz. Service, Spiritual or Educational with an understanding that sole purpose of doing these activities is to recognise the inherent Divinity within him/her.
The Sewadal, Bal Vikas Gurus, Bal Vikas children and youths Mahila Vibhag, they all are the pillar of Organisation. With the grace of Swami they all were ever ready to undertake any service activity voluntarily at any time. This caused all round progress in all the 3 wings of the Organisation which is evident from the ensuing chapter of this report. Good number of Sevadal reaching Prashanthi Nilayam during the allotted time slot, opening of Rural Vocational Training centres at 3 places, imparting Disaster Management Training to the youth member of the Organisation on regular basis and regular visit of Mahila Vibhag to selected Villages to undertake Mother and Child care programme are few of the highlighters in addition to the regular service activities undertaken every year by the organisation. Organising training for new Bal Vikas Gurus on regular basis and making refresher courses for old Gurus has resulted in significantly expanding the spectrum of Bal Vikas Movement in the State. Organising Bal Vikas Children parent contact programme on regular basis has helped parents to understand Swami’s mission and organisation’s activities with close corners and will definitely prove one day a gateway to Divine mission for them. Spiritual dimension occupied the central place in any activity undertaken by the organisation because this only helps members to understand the purpose of joining the organisation. This year number of Jyoti Meditation camps were organised throughout the state. Sadhana camps were organised to understand the significance of 9 Points of Code of conduct. More specific stress was given to let the members understand significance of holding family Bhajans to bring unity among the family members which otherwise is in scarce these days in the outer world. We express our sincere thanks to the Convener, Trustees and Members of the council of the Management of Sri Sathya Sai Trust MP who served hand in hand with the Organisation to spread the message of Swami by running educational institutes and Blood Bank in the state. We also express our gratitude to respected All India President Shri Nimish Pandya ji for timely guidance. Finally in all our humility we offer our humble gratitude at the Divine Lotus Feet for giving us an opportunity to serve HIM and choosing us to be a small part in His Divine Mission. May HE continue to shower HIS blessings by allowing us for ever and ever to serve HIM. Jai Sairam!

SRI SATHYA SAI VIDYA JYOTI:
The program is about adoption of schools by each district. This National school adoption program was launched in March 2016. Purpose is to change environment of these schools and make education value based on the teachings of Swami.
The first introductory training to understand the program was held at Gadarwara on 20th March attended by all state office bearers and district youth coordinators.
The vastness of program demands involvement of all members of organization, hence next phase of trainings were held in four different parts of state namely Bilaspur, Kanker, Indore and Jabalpur. These trainings had covered all wings of organisation and attended by almost all active members. Till now total 51 schools are adopted which will increase gradually. Our state is emphasizing on quality of activities and hence we are not stressing on figures to increase number of schools. Swami wants quality and not quantity.
Work has started in these schools in a well-planned manner. Clear guidelines are passed on to each district enabling each member to participate with full heart and achieve results.
School adopted under Sai Vidya Jyoti SUMMER CAMP FOR ORGANISATION WOMEN AT BHOPAL WOMEN’S COLLEGE:

Underweight children were distributed Sai Protein. It was observed that children delivered by adopted ladies had good weight and were healthy. SSSVIP:
Sri Sathya Sai Village integrated program is a nationwide program adopted by SSS Seva organisations India on PAN India. It has its genesis from the infinite compassion of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba towards the poor, downtrodden, ignorant and innocent people living in the villages. The program was launched on the auspicious day of Ugadi in 2007. The service activities under this program are focussed on the family. The family is considered as the main unit of activities.
Our state has taken up 62 villages in 25 Sai districts under SSSVIP since 2007. Out of these some village centres are converted into bhajan mandlies /Samithis. At the commencement of year 2016 we had 42 villages in hand belonging to 23 Sai districts. Remaining 6 Sai districts are in process of selecting new villages.
Since these villages are located in different parts of state and depending on local circumstances organisation plans to introduce at least 4 cares out of 7 which includes Individual care, Employment care, Agri care, Medical care, Educare, Socio care and spiritual care
There major activities undertaken in SSSVIP villages are Bal Vikas, Narayan Seva, medical camps, veterinary camps, Kissan Sammelen (wherein interactive sessions between agriculture scientists and the farmers takes place), Bhajans and Nagar sankirtan.
TREE PLANTATION HOSPITAL SEVA: Seva dal volunteers and members of organization are dedicated devotees of Bhagawan Baba who take up hospital seva following Swami’s teaching of “Manav seva is Madhav seva”. It is a regular activity and all samithis of state undertake it with joy. Blood donation is regular part of service. Few examples of hospital seva are:
A medical camp was organized at Indore on 28th Feb with the help of doctors from SSS Rajkot hospital. Around 900 poor patients who could have never afforded very expensive heart treatment, were screened and their case files were prepared. Later all the short listed patients were operated at Rajkot hospital free of cost.
The devotees of Durg samithi have adopted orthopedics ward of government hospital. They arrange medicine, moral support, fruit and meals and even financial support in arranging travel cost to needy poor patients. They also keep the ward clean, placed curtains and scenery pictures to make patients feel at home even in the hospital. Many types of equipment are also donated by devotees who help in rehabilitation of orthopedic patients. This service is continuing for last many years.
The devotees of Indore samithi have adopted government M.Y. hospital wherein they provide daliya and facility of heating milk. All patients are provided milk by hospital which needs heating before consumption. The devotees noticed the difficulty faced by outside patients in getting this task done. Now the samithi has a counter in hospital, where all patients come with milk and sevadal heats and puts sugar. The seva is arranged on daily basis without any break and is well appreciated by one and all and has also become a source of inspiration to general public.
Government hospital Ratlam is adopted by samithi since last 25 -30 years. The devotees visit regularly and provide clothing, food and blood to needy. At Government hospital Sajapur the relatives of patients are served two times meals. One member of Organisation took over this seva and was regular in providing daily meals to poor relatives of patients. Many other people both devotees and non-devotees got inspired and came forward to support. The seva is now recognized by district collector who himself narrates this services to all as an example of self-less service.
