Sociocare
“You are a part of society. Born in society, growing up in society, living in society, man ends his life in society. An individual can find fulfilment only in society. What is society? Society is your own reflection. The challenges that are present in society are the result of the challenges within the individuals who constitute it. Similarly, the ills in a society affect the individual. Therefore, do not distance yourself from society. Keep yourself always engaged in the service of society.
Society may also be compared to a four-wheeled chariot. The four wheels are: Aikamathyam (Unity), Swadheenam (Control or Regulation), Jnanam (Knowledge or Awareness) and Shakti (Power or Strength). These four help the society to go forward. A society without values will cease to be human. The more human values are cherished, the better will be the growth of society, the nation and the world.
As part of Sociocare activities, SSSCT UK supports activities and projects aligned with:
