My personal vision is to make "A world where everyone has realized their power; and thereby empower others so that everyone enjoys their Freedom, Life, and Dignity."
To accomplish the above vision, my mission will be "to cultivate the self-worth among the most marginalized community - especially focusing LGBTQIA, Disabled community, Dalits and women (cross-cutting)."
The strategy that I hope to use while I am in my mission is that "in my personal and professional space, I will consciously try to conscientise people. I will facilitate reflective guided discussions and dialogues, write blogs and articles, and actively participate as well as interact/share (Paulo Freire's conscientization methodology) in all opportunities that I get to engage with individuals and organizations in India and South Asia."
My reflection on 17th January 2020:
These vision, mission, and strategy together are called VIMISTRA. When I reflect back on my VIMISTRA I feel that it is certainly required to be my ideal to be my way of life as a professionally trained social worker. It should be my mantra, my essence of living (as I see my passion and profession to be the same) and my way of life. As a social worker, I adamantly feel that everyone should recognize their power and thereby empower themselves and others who get in touch with them. I have haphazardly walked the VIMISTRA. I feel very ashamed that as a responsible social worker I have done it from my comfort zone and did not take any step beyond it to ensure that I work to achieve my vision. Having said that I would like to share that after the last workshop I facilitated two workshops with young CSO professionals (120 participants) on social work values and the need for them to work for LGBTQIA and Disabled people. These professionals were from all over India. The feedback that I got from the participants made me feel that I could sensitize them. Besides that my effort to ensure that transgenders are involved in our organizational development programmes as well as a staff is an ongoing struggle that I love to engage with.
