drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. I do not agree with the big way of doing things.”

WHY O.Y.S.T.E.R...

The world today is a much developed place with all the comforts just a snap away from man. We have seen much, much and much more than our primates would have ever visualized in their wildest dreams. It’s not just the ever advancing technological development. We intend to focus on MAN.…on ourselves and our not so privileged counterparts who live amidst us in this very society of ours, right next to us. We all have a heart and that is what it takes to keep us all alive. We forget that that heart is also capable of showing compassion. We gladly part with merely a few coins when our generosity gets the better of us. IS THAT ALL IT TAKES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO BRING ABOUT A CHANGE? IS THAT ALL WE ARE CAPABLE OF? The answer would be a NO. Many scholars have despaired over the apathy of men towards ills in our society. But we at O.Y.S.T.E.R feel that every single person’s contribution is the need of the hour required for building a better society! Truly we survive on the single motto EACH AND EVERY PERSON CAN CONTRIBUTE TO HIS SOCIETY! IT IS A MUST FOR EACH AND EVERY INDIVIDUAL TO TAKE UP THE RESPONSIBILITY OF PROTECTING HIS OWN SOCIETY! At O.Y.S.T.E.R we believe that it is the responsibility of everyone to come out of his complex self centered world and play his part in making this society a better place to live in. We have entered the stage where the Government owing to various reasons is working under tremendous pressures. The people who elect their representatives and those who form the government of late have fallen into a kind of apathy and callousness towards human development. This silence of the citizens of civil society and that of the government, we fear, will lead to the darkest period of our nation’s history--a rule by brute force. O.Y.S.T.E.R has evolved to direct its sincere and genuine efforts to sensitizing the citizens of our civil society and the elected representatives to work towards effecting a positive change in the society. At O.Y.S.T.E.R we are dedicated to the cause of awakening social responsibility, political awareness among citizens, and establish social harmony, peace and justice. It is a platform to bring together all the drops in the main stream under the rubric of SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY & SOCIAL ACTIVISM and to canalize it through the society with all due diligence and make it better in all possible ways....O.Y.S.T.E.R through its programmes and networking with other Organizations and Institutions organizes perspective building activities, carries out campaigns, and makes people realize their role in community development and the positive change they are capable of bringing about with their active involvement even if in a small way….
