Rural Sanitation

India has taken many steps and efforts to provide safe sanitation in rural areas. MNR in its part started to raise awareness about sanitation and hygiene through its rural camps so that they can understand the need for safe sanitation and good hygiene.

MNR aims to improve health and quality of life in rural areas. Sanitation in general, refers to public health conditions; it is related to clean drinking water, clean environment, adequate treatment, and disposal of human excreta and sewage. Awareness of preventing human contact with feces is a part of sanitation and educates them about washing their hands with soap.

Awareness of the importance of sanitation as it protects human health by a clean environment that will stop the spreading and transmission of diseases through the fecal-oral route, ex: diarrhea. Many other diseases that are transmitted in communities that have a low level of sanitation, such as cholera, trachoma, hepatitis, etc.

Youth Empowerment

“If we can empower the youth today they can lead the tomorrow”. Youth empowerment is a process where young people are encouraged to take charge of their lives. Statistics show that every third person in India is a youth and the working population in India is increasing, pointing to the fact that youth will make a significant contribution to the economic development of the country.

MNR empowered many youths in their 46 years of Educational journey. It always encourages the young students to take charge of their lives by addressing their situation and problem and then takes action to improve their access to resources and transform themselves, their perspective, beliefs, values, and their attitudes.

MNR believes that to make the youth stronger and more confidant, they need the right educational infrastructure, training, and teaching to develop their skills, and academic knowledge, and thus shape them so that they can become future professionals and entrepreneurs.

MNR also believes that youth empowerment is achieved by improving and enriching the quality of life with quality education and also encouraging the students in participating in youth empowerment programs. Over and above to make them believe that they have the power to bring change in themselves and society.

MNR Educational Trust considering all the above facts dedicated itself to the welfare and betterment of the students by implementing all the necessary means and facilities to empower the youth. We train and empower students to actively participate in the development of the community and undertake social responsibility and community engagements.
