At the core of our need to ‘give back to BITS and to the local communities’ lies our belief in creating self-reliance among the lesser privileged. The various initiatives and projects may have focussed a little more on financial independence, however, underlying end-results for all participants have also been lessons in self-confidence, independent decision making and setting simple life-goals.
This program ensures continuous group life insurance for the entire BITS Pilani Mess Workers’ community, helping many families receive LIC claims in the unfortunate event of the demise of a primary wage earner.

The Youth Employment Program run by the TCS Foundation had a successful inception in Pilani in 2022-23 with the active support of PARC. The 90-hour program is designed to provide all-round training to college students with the intention of making them fit for employment by TCS itself, as well as, other associated organizations.
The Smt. Indramani Mandelia College in Pilani was the first college where YEP was implemented and is currently running successfully. Rakesh PG College and M K Saboo PG College joined the program later. All 3 colleges have been very happy with the outcome. PARC with the support of the Student Team volunteers has organised a few Rozgar Melas to promote the Youth Employment Program among students attending college in and around Pilani. While working on increasing the reach of the program within Pilani, PARC is also attempting to include colleges in the Churu District and the Surajgarh block.
