Are we really working for Socials?


As to start with today's topic let me put one incident of my own life...

because of one of my friend got a chance to visit Devbandh Centre in Palghar District where they are giving their life for betterment of approx. 100 nearby villages. We went for the distribution of sarees on occasion of BHAUBIJ (an ancient tradition in Maharashtra between brother & Sister). While travelling to the Centre which is approx. 20 KM interior from Kasara Ghat in Maharashtra, I observed the first thing is lack of necessary facilities in the area. They have green Field but not able to do Farming, they don’t have any other source of Income, Their Houses are still made of Grass & Soil. their Annual Income will be HARDLY  15000 RS/-, as a born & brought up citizen of Mumbai city we cannot Believe that some family's annual income is this much....

this trip made me think a thousand thoughts that.....

ARE WE REALLY DOING SOCIAL WORK, BY DOING CAMPAIGNS, DISTRIBUTING FOOD, TEACHING STUDENTS, PLANTING TREES, BLOOD CAMP, MEDICAL CAMP, DISTRIBUTING CLOTHES IN MUMBAI?

IS IT MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE SITUATION OF THIS PEOPLE IN DEVBANDH?

We are only working for Mumbai, why? because we like to work as per our comfort level only... why we are not able to reach in these Tribal area, nearby in our own state only? because this area is at distance of 4-hour journey which is not feasible for our comfort...& there must be many more villages there who are living under same situations....... than why are we working (or I must say searching) for the needy people in Mumbai only...????

We are looking more towards our comfort level in Social Work as well?
Can't we spare just 8 Hours of a week or a month to work for them who really in need & there is no one to reach them?

Once talked with a friend I got an extraordinary excuse that: " it is government's duty to fulfil their needs".... accepted, argue was genuine but then question arises that,

IF THAT IS A GOVT. DUTY, THEN SAME APPLIES IN MUMBAI AS WELL
THAN WHY WORKING IN MUMBAI? OR IF IT IS SAME THEN YOU SHOULD WORK IN THAT VILLAGES AS WELL.

My opinion fully changed after the visit to Devbandh & talking to my friend about the Social Work.

Conclusion I got from this was if I really want to work for Society & Humanity it should be done to the places where no one reaches.... because in Mumbai everyone can get their Job but what about the places where there is nothing available? & 

just because it’s not into my comfort I should not work for them? Than the same question arises in my mind that,

ARE WE REALLY WORKING FOR SOCIALS?????
