Introduction:

  • Saral Services, a National level NGO, has been promoting YSS in Jamui District of Bihar Since 2017.
  • Saral Services encourages youths in villages seeking coaching to enhance knowledge in English, Mathematics, and GK to pass competitive exams for regular degrees or secure jobs in the Government or private sector.
  • Saral provides this knowledge completely free of charge.
  • In addition to offering knowledge, Saral Services advises them to help children of their village gain quality learning.
  • Saral Services enables these youths to change the fate of their younger brothers, sisters, own children, cousins, or nephews by offering them quality learning.
  • For institutionalizing the activities, Saral Services promotes setting up YSS and helping children to gain quality learning. Therefore, there is a need for having rules for YSS.

Rules for Formation of YSS:

  1. Village Jurisdiction & Joining Process: Every village can have one YSS. In some cases, 2-3 villages together can make one YSS. There should not be more than one YSS in one village. Any youth who wishes to join YSS can do so by sending his resume and a note "Why want to Join" to anjana@saralservices.org with a copy to the leader of YSS. If a youth wants to start a YSS in his village, he can do so by sending a request to the Saral Services office.
  2. Team Size & Leadership Roles: There should not be more than 20 youths in one YSS. There should be two leaders: President and Vice President. The President shall keep the money, while the Vice President shall maintain the accounts under the supervision of Saral Staff.
  3. Resignation/Exit Policy: A member can leave once he/she gets a job in the Government or a private office. One who wishes to quit the YSS group has to inform one month prior to leaving through mail to anjana@saralservices.org or by submitting a letter to the leader of the YSS.
  4. Membership Fees & Funds: There should be a membership fee of Rs. 100 per month. Money shall be collected by the leader and maintained in a Google cashbook tracking income and expenditure. YSS can use this money for spending on printing questionnaire papers, buying books, or managing ongoing events.
  5. Leadership Rotation: There should be a provision for changing one leader every three months. After three months, the leader is either given an extension or a new leader is elected. The new leader takes charge from the outgoing leader.
