Sueu - Avis employé Software Engineer Rakshak Foundation

It is a great foundation and very innovative in it's approach to engage students in public policy research which makes them think in what it takes to change a country. Especially in a country like India, where the youth has lately been highly influenced by ill-intention politicians, their provocative and biased speeches, this foundation shows an alternative path to achieve a better society by working on ground reality and under the guidance of proven social leaders and bureaucrats. The number of initiatives that have come off recently by the Foundation and it's increasing number of applicants from just a below 100 in 2011 (when it started) to 1500+ applicants in 2013 speaks for itself on what this Foundation is all about. The participation from the students of top Universities like IIM's, IIT's, DU, SRCC and the official collaboration with these Universities show the trust the Foundation have gained in just a few years! If one is interested in building a sustainable society and work tirelessly for our country's growth without staging a protest for 2 or days and instead making sure that such events never happen again, work with this Foundation. You can bring the change you want to see in the country.

The Foundation has certain difficulties in finding right people as any other NGO or for that matter, any start-up company would have. It will need to sort out certain norms and place a firm organization in structure with right people.

You get to work with some of the best minds of the country and mentors are IAS officers most of the time.

Weekly compulsory submissions. Even if you don't have anything to add,you have to submit a blank report but you have to submit it. Stipend delay-very much. It's Oct 2015 and stipend for 2015 summer intern hasn't come yet and they are giving RTI like reply "We are in the process. We expect it will be completed within this month", when the intern had ended in mid july only. They dont treat interns with much respect. They put absent mark even if you come 6 minute late. They don't review the projects on going. Many times they assign projects 200% different than what we wished. And sometimes assign stupid projects with no practical need for it. And they dont change the project title and ask you to leave the internship if you don't like the project.
