Blog by PUJA PAYAL.

Embarking on a journey with an NGO is akin to stepping into a realm where passion intertwines with purpose, and the impact is profound. NGOs, or non-profit organizations, are driven by a noble mission to address critical social, environmental, or humanitarian issues. My tenure as an intern at SADRAG NGO in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, provided me with invaluable insights and experiences that I am eager to share in this blog.

SADRAG, an acronym for Social Awareness Development and Research Group, is a beacon of hope in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Dedicated to serving humanity, SADRAG focuses on a myriad of causes including child rights, basic education, child protection, women empowerment, and the livelihood and capacity building of youth and children. It was within this dynamic and purpose-driven environment that I embarked on my internship journey.

My internship at SADRAG was not merely a professional stint; it was a transformative experience that left an indelible mark on my journey.

Moreover, my internship provided me with a profound sense of purpose and fulfillment, knowing that I was contributing to a greater good. It also afforded me valuable networking opportunities and allowed me to leverage my skills and talents to create tangible impact in the world.
