Quote by Peter Drucker

“Three things happen naturally in an organization – friction, confusions and under-performance. Everything else requires leadership.”

You have to think yourself as a leader who wishes to help Sankalp grow.

The name of the NGO is "Sankalp - A pledge to change". It has been registered under Registration of Societies Act XXI of 1860. Its registration number is 0366/12-13. It has an elected body of President, Treasurer and General Secretary. Make sure you never tell "Sankalp NIT Jamshedpur" to anyone, it gives an idea that Sankalp is controlled by college administration.
