PREFACE

Today’s industrial scenario of economy is highly competitive and constantly

changing. People are running to survive and fulfil their requirements. People have no

time. People, have therefore, forgotten their responsibility towards the society. To

maintain the system of society by working for social responsibility, some

organisations are working for same. A practical study for understanding of

management in such NGOs is more important with theoretical studies. In a M.B.A.

program, students have to prepare a project report, as a practical study with theoretical

concepts, as a partial fulfilment for the requirement of an M.B.A. degree. Here it is

our sincere effort to prepare project report on BAPS that’s Bochsanwasi Shri Akshar

Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha.

Basic purpose and reason behind this report is to understand about BAPS and its

financial system and understand the people behaviour towards the BAPS. We have

selected some of the activities done by the BAPS. It also creates awareness in the

management students at grass root level about the difficulties and challenges faced by

the organisation in their social welfare work. This report includes graphical analysis

to represent concept in an illusive way, wherever needed. Based on this analysis, risk

pertaining to the project is identified by evaluating strengths and weaknesses of the

project. Also we had tried to identify the importance of each variable for the

evaluation and the application in different ways.

At the end of the report we have suggested some recommendations based on the

findings that we had made from report for the improvement of some of the factors and

variables. All the facts and figures added in this report are based on the data that was

available to us from the organization, along with the guidance of our faculties; we had

tried to calculate all the variables.

32

Basically, BAPS is not advertising about their activities which is

going to be happening, in the news paper, TV or to other media.

They are spreading awareness through the people those who are

coming to Mandir. In each and every mandir, from the notice

board and from the hoardings the people came to know about the

activities.

For any big festival which will be celebrated by the sanstha, then

for that big banners and hoarding are exhibited nearer to that

particular area where festival is going to be celebrated.

WORD OF MOUTH is the best strategy using by the BAPS it

spread the awareness.

FINANCE

From the volunteers and main Swami of the mandir we came to

that mainly devotees are giving donation to the BAPS. Only

donation is the source of income for the sanstha.

33

BAPS is also keeping books of records of the balance sheet and

profit and loss account.

The rules and regulation of BAPS does not allow us them to give

the proper figure of the donation and the donors but from

observing the activities we came to know that there is a huge

amount of donation given by the devotees from the all over the

world.

The donation which the BAPS is getting, all that fund is

distributed to the each and every activity for the social welfare.

MANAGEMENT OF BAPS

SUGGESTIONS

We have given some suggestion to the BAPS like:

Organization has to publish their detail activities plan about sabha & satsang

on regular basis So, every person can know the about the activities .

Organization can provide low cost education so that poor people can take

more advantage.

They have to start new hospitals in the rural area so more & more people can

take free medical services.

Also they can provide free lunch on a regular basis to the poor children.
