Findings

• Generally people came know to about the BAPS activities from the relatives only.

• Most of the people are not aware of the social activities done by BAPS as this is a non profit organization and they are not advertising in any media. so they need to advertise more that people came to know about the such activities.

• Also they have to expand their activities in the other states of India which are underdeveloped. so that more people can take advantage. They need to serve people by providing low cost education system so poor people can take advantage.one of this suggestion we came to know from the surveyor.


Limitation

• Our area of study is limited to only RAJKOT & GONDAL.• They were not ready to provide any financial information

belonging to BAPS.• They were not permit us to take any videos or photos.• Swamis of BAPS only meet to Few minute.


Conclusion

service is very good for the society.• BAPS is worlds’ No.2 NGO.• The contribution of volunteers are also excellent.• The social activities of BAPS towards the society are very

helpful.• Without help of volunteers, this type of big NGO can’t run

smoothly.


Suggestions

• Organization has to publise their detail about sabha & satsang every month. So, every person can know the detail about these all.

• Organization has to put a suggestion box anywhere to improve their system with the help of people.
