The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

ABOUT RI/CSSI
Rural Internship/Civic and Social Service Internship is a
part of the curriculum of the 4-year
Engineering Under-Graduate course at PDPU
Gandhinagar.
It is being conducted with the purpose of providing
students the experience of the specific environment of
rural areas. It is like training to give physical insight into
a given task so that we can employ acquired
educational knowledge to real life. It is a rural
internship which is to be done for 21 days in a given
time by the University. As per the Groups decided by
the NGO, we were given some work within the
Sadbhavna vrudhashram. The internship guide of the
NGO asked me to do different activities under its
various projects. It has benefitted people as well as me,
which I consider a successful internship. Our whole
group of five students enthusiastically participated in
the internship and did the work properly as told by our
guide. During the internship, we also helped the NGO
solve many problems and improve their working
efficiency.

Abstract / Introduction of the Project
Elderly care
To understand and overcome the problems faced by people
in rural areas and to come up with solutions for those
problems, I underwent my rural internship with the co-
operation of an NGO named Manav Seva Charitable Trust –
Sadbhavna Vrudhashram. I spent 21 quality days of my
vacation in rural areas to gather precious information about
the problems of the people living there. The organization
plays a wonderful role in serving the needs of the people,
educating students who don’t have adequate facilities to
support their necessities and providing safety to these
people. During this internship, I encountered various
difficulties faced by our rural population and helped them
discover some ways to tackle it.
Plantation Drive
Along with reducing the number of problems from the lives
of elderly people, I also took part in a plantation drive
organized by the same NGO, to spread awareness about tree
plantation and improve the quality of the environment in the
region. Moreover, I explained many young people of the
village about importance of trees in contributing to the
environment - providing oxygen, improving air quality,
conserving water, preserving soil, supporting wildlife and
providing shelter, medicines and tools.

Week 1: (12th
June – 18th
June)
On the first day, when I reached Sadbhavna Vrudhashram – One of
the projects of Manav Seva Charitable Trust - I received a warm
welcome by the administrative staff of the office. But it was difficult
to find the NGO since it was located in the centre of a remote village.
The manager of the Vrudhashram, Bansi Prajapati explained to us the
organisational structure, it’s working, and introduced me to the staff
of the NGO. She then showed me around the rest of the building, its
dining hall and various other rooms. I was also told about the various
sources from which they received funding, that helped sustain the
organisation to function properly.
I then talked with many elderly people residing in the Vrudhashram.
One could easily sense the joy radiating from them when they talked
about their lives to people like me who were ready to listen to their
achievements and help solve their daily life problems. I brought fruits
for the residents regularly. I also asked the management to allow me
to educate them with the shlokas of the Bhagwat Gita after their
breakfast time to help calm their minds and find a vocation in their
lives.
There were a total of 160 people residing in the Sadbhavna
Vrudhashram 80 in each of their 2 branches. The NGO was open to
all elderly public, including those who had severe impairments –
blind, deaf, paralyzed – which justify the goal of Manav Seva
Charitable Trust, i.e. spreading peace and harmony, and helping
fellow human beings.

Week 2: (19th
June – 25th
June)
For some days during this week, I went to the second branch of the
Sadbhavna Vrudhashram, located at a different place in Rajkot.
However, unlike the previous branch, the building here was recently
created and hence was in a better condition. When I instigated
conversing with the manager and staff, I came to know that owning
and maintaining the whole building was not a piece of cake. In this
branch too, about 80 people were residing. The difference in rooms
of this branch was that here, every room had an attached bathroom.
An old man who was physically handicapped was helped by a
volunteer during ablution and while having meals.
While talking with the old people, they presented me with an
intriguing difficulty they face every summer. Since the Vrudhashram
was a little on the outskirts of the city – they faced an issue of water
scarcity. Rather than opting out of the problem, I decided to solve
the problem for the Vrudhashram. After some scrutiny, I came up
with some of the best ideas – Rainwater Harvesting and reusing the
outlet water from RO water purifier for washing purposes. The
manager and staff heartily welcomed my suggestions.
A doctor lived nearby the Vrudhashram, specifically allotted by the
NGO to take care of old people’s ailments. Therefore the doctor’s
consultancy and health check-ups were a low hanging fruit for the
people. Though, the medicine store was quite a distance away from
the Vrudhashram. So I went to buy medicines for elderly people.
15. 18BIT083 | Weekly Plan 15
Week 3: (26th
June – 02th
July)
In the last week of rural internship, the NGO organised a plantation
drive in the village. I was very ardent to plant saplings and seeds
because I hadn’t done it since I was in school. On the way to the
farm, we detoured to first go to a small primary school to teach
children the significance and purpose of planting trees. I taught them
that trees help clean the air we breathe, filter the water we drink,
help abate various kinds of pollution and provides habitat to
enormous biodiversity. After that, I planted the saplings given by the
NGO at various places on the farm. After planting the trees, I also
watered them regularly. This part of the internship taught me to take
care of nature and the environment because it is fragile and delicate.
During the last couple of days, I visited some poor households to
offer them food packets. At the first glance of me holding food
packets, in no time the children gathered around me in large
numbers. Giving and offering are not what it sounds like. It’s the
other way around – it gives us back peace, happiness, and smiles. In
the thick of it, the joy of giving is much more than the joy of
receiving. I also provided the leftover food from the Vrudhashram to
cows and dogs of the area.
It all boils down to the old adage: “We make a living by what we get.
But we make a life by what we give.”

Manavseva charitable trust, Rajkot is a non-profit, registered
charitable organisation. Its prime objective is to spread peace and
bring harmony in life. The organisation is dedicated to helping senior
people, experiencing peace, and caring for nature earth. Manavseva
in its endeavor to improve the quality of human life offers many
humanitarian services, including accepting senior citizens who do not
get home and assistance from their family, free health check-ups and
food for people in remote places, etc. It also supports other
organisations having similarly charitable, philanthropic and social
goals.
Since the commencement of the first project of Manavseva
charitable trust, Sadbhavna Vrudhashram saw favourable results
from the rural population. Gradually it expanded to two branches
within Rajkot itself, each housing 80 people. Proper care is given to
all senior citizens, with extra assistance to those who need it.
Each room is either a double or triple sharing. Couples are kept
together. The NGO has washing and ironing services within the
premises. Washing clothes, dishes, cleaning the rooms, serving food,
etc. is carried out by teenagers who volunteer to help and serve
society. Some religious and spiritual books, as well as daily
newspaper facilities, are also given to the seniors. Regular feedback
and suggestions are taken from the people about the resources and
facilities given to them.
Healthy and hygienic food is served four times a day, including fruit
per person daily. They are also taken out to a movie and a restaurant
every two months, in addition to a water park every year. Regular
health check-ups are conducted by a doctor associated with the
NGO. Cataract, a common problem faced by the aging population is
given completely free treatment here. Common medicines are also
freely available. Moreover, all seniors are supplied with 2000 rupees
per month as their ‘pocket money’.

Description of the Project
Caring for senior citizens:
Sadbhavna Vrudhashram is where I spent 21 quality days of
my vacation in a rural area to gather some information about
the problems of the people living there. The organization
plays a wonderful role in serving the needs of the people,
educating students who don’t have adequate facilities to
support their necessities and providing safety to these
people. I helped them in their daily needs and solved some
problems to ease their lives.
Plantation Drive:
To spread awareness about tree plantation and improve the
quality of the environment in the region, I underwent a
plantation drive. Moreover, I explained many young people
of the village about the importance of trees in contributing to
the environment - providing oxygen, improving air quality,
conserving water, preserving soil, supporting wildlife and
providing shelter, medicines, and tools.
Feeding stray animals and village children:
I gave the leftover food from the vrudhashram to street dogs
and cows. Also, I distributed biscuits and food packets among
rural children.

20. 18BIT083 | Observation, Learning and Recommendation 20
Observation, Learning and Recommendation
Such an internship could help make astronomical changes to
one’s behaviour and attitude towards society and life in
general. It adds a pinch of emotional intelligence to our
rational thinking brains.
I learned a lot of new skills and enhanced my existing skills
during this rural internship. I understood the importance of
teamwork, discipline and social work towards making any
activity successful. Also, I felt the grave need for kindness,
care, and love in our fast-paced lives.
Apart from soft skills, I recognised the need to care for our
seniors. As age progresses, various medical issues happen
such as blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, joint pains etc.
Hence old people need assistance and aid from the younger
generation. They long for care, love and affection. Therefore I
helped understand their needs and problems in order to give
them mental and physical support.
Similarly, I understood the crucial role that trees and nature
play in our life. Equally important is to learn how to care for
their proper nourishment.
I would certainly recommend similar internships to my
friends and family. As it is rightly said, “One man can’t change
the world, but one man can bring about a revolution to
change the world.”

21. 18BIT083 | Challenges and constraints faced 21
Challenges and constraints faced
➔ By the Organisation
The second branch of the NGO, Sadbhavna
Vrudhashram faces water scarcity problem sometimes.
However, I helped them solve the problem by
suggesting water harvesting techniques and by reusing
the RO water outlet for bathing purposes.
➔ By me in the Project
Since I interned at a rural village, there were no guest
staying facilities in the area nearby, nor in the
organisation in which I worked. Hence I had to travel in
two-wheeler to the NGO daily. It cost me some useful
time and money during traveling.
➔ Areas of improvement
Decreasing the number of days of the internship
wouldn’t degrade the essence and meaning of rural
internship. At least for Computer science and
Information and Communication Technology students,
lesser rural internship days would have meant more
time to upgrade ourselves with the latest technological
advancements and preparing for a competitive future.
