Annual Work Report of AICMEU
(For the year 2007 – 08)
I take this opportunity to present this Progress Report for the year 2007-08. By the grace of Almighty Allah and good support of all the office bearers, well wishers as well as our staff members following are our attainments.
Alhamdulliah – AICMEU has completed 24 years of Voluntary Service. In the life of an NGO it is a short period, we are thankful to the Almighty Allah for the little difference in the lives of some people, that we have made and pray Allah for His benevolence to attain the lot that remains to be done. I assure all the honorable members that we are endeavoring to move in the right direction. Though I admit, we have to quicken our steps, for time and resources will wait for none
During last year besides carrying out our general activities, the organization has taken a leap in mobilization of resources for community welfare. With the help of CCI, we have provided Relief to Victims of Bihar Flood. In addition to providing food materials and medication, we have also assisted CCI to launch Housing Development Programme in Bihar. The other important achievement was the entrepreneurship development programme organized with the help of MSME, government of India. This programme has helped us enter in to partnership with the government schemes.
Report A. Organizational Development.
1. Proposed meeting at Lonavala could not hold for want of common date from Trustees. The meeting is to be held to review the performance of AICMEU over the years at the earliest possible date.
2. Some of the Committees have been reconstituted. We need to identify more people to strengthen various departmental committee of AICMEU.
3. It has been now felt that we will think of enrolling new members from all over country only after the review meeting AICMEU’s performance over the years.
Report B. Employment Information and Vocational Guidance
1. We are happy to report that we have received a grant of Rs. 1,17,000/- for promotion of www.login4job.com.We had appointed a staff for its development however she left the job and another suitable person is to be appointed.
2. It is satisfying to note that 204 Job.Info. Centres are functioning at www.login.4job.com.
3. We have now database of 9193 jobseekers and 101 employers. With the provision of additional fund and appointment of a specialist, this data base is likely to increase in coming years.
4. The local employment information and vocational guidance cell has registered 215 job applicants against 315 vacancies. Some 88 applicants were provided counselling while 127 have secured jobs after 360 interviews arranged by the centre. The performance of our local employment cell has gone down because of frequent leaving of its In-charge. Insha-Allah by end of 2008-09 we will certainly increase the number of beneficiaries. The monthly performance of the centre is given below:-
