PREFACE
Today’s industrial scenario of economy is highly competitive and constantly changing.
People are running to survive and fulfil their requirements. People have no time.
People, have therefore, forgotten their responsibility towards the society. To maintain
the system of society by working for social responsibility, some organisations are
working for same. A practical study for understanding of management in such NGOs
is more important with theoretical studies. In a M.B.A. program, students have to
prepare a project report, as a practical study with theoretical concepts, as a partial
fulfilment for the requirement of an M.B.A. degree. Here it is our sincere effort to
prepare project report on BAPS that’s Bochsanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam
Swaminarayan Sanstha.
Basic purpose and reason behind this report is to understand about BAPS and its
financial system and understand the people behaviour towards the BAPS. We have
selected some of the activities done by the BAPS. It also creates awareness in the
management students at grass root level about the difficulties and challenges faced by
the organisation in their social welfare work. This report includes graphical analysis to
represent concept in an illusive way, wherever needed. Based on this analysis, risk
pertaining to the project is identified by evaluating strengths and weaknesses of the
project. Also we had tried to identify the importance of each variable for the
evaluation and the application in different ways.
At the end of the report we have suggested some recommendations based on the
findings that we had made from report for the improvement of some of the factors and
variables. All the facts and figures added in this report are based on the data that was
available to us from the organization, along with the guidance of our faculties; we had
tried to calculate all the variables.
