SVCT PROGRAMS
16th may to 16th June
11am to 5pm
The main work of ngo is to provide help to needy prisoner’s family by paying school fees and giving other possible help to the families. We visited different families and analyze their financial condition, according to that we have to prepare report on each family. Each report should contain 3000 words and in the format in which ngo asked us to make. We also visited the tihar jail to know more about the prisoners live and what the facilities available in jail are. The main work was to complete the report on time.
I got a lovely and wonderful working environment; a separate room was arranged for us with laptop and WI-FI facility was also available. The staff of NGO was very supporting. All were working as a family.
No stipend
First day you will be told about the NGO and the purpose for which NGO is working. I was asked to read the files of the families which are getting help from NGO and was informed about the work to be done during my internship period. The members of NGO will make you know about the founder and all detail about the ngo.
The best part of internship was that we get to know reality how a family suffers when they have lack of resources and we were made to see their lifestyle. We were having opportunity to provide more help to family by directly contacting to the head of the NGO. The other thing was being, a law student you will get opportunity to talk to prisoners about their crime and deal with the section under which their crime and punishment lie.
The biggest lesson I have learnt in during my internship is that if a crime is done it is not necessary that it is done with an evil motive; sometimes a situation plays a bigger role for an initiation of crime. I have met a prisoner in tihar jail who was educated and having good behavior in society but now he is in jail for murder.
SVCT is one of the NGO who do not take any fund from outside and work for uplifting the poor section of society. The NGOs work is different as compare to other NGO, as there are very less NGO who work for inmate family.
I would like to suggest my friends who are living nearby Delhi, must intern at ‘SVCT’. It will help you in your law career. You will get opportunities to meet prisoners and question them directly about the crime they have done and the reason behind that crime.
