Story

Shyam is a young post graduate living in Nagpur. He is a social worker and works for an NGO

associated with youth development. Being a very popular person, he has a mass following of youth in
the locality. One fine day, he suddenly heard a huge noise; and when he rushed out of his home to the
site, he found that there was a gathering of people in front of a small factory in the nearby area and
people were pelting stones and also some part of the factory was set on fire. The workers of the
factory were agitated because they had not received their wages for the last three months. On hearing
this, he convinced the group not to destroy the property and to adopt peaceful means of fighting their

cause. He with the help of his youth force, cordoned off the factory area, extinguished the fire and
later mediated between the owner and the workers and resolved the issue amicably.

Note: This story reflects desire to work for social cause, influencing ability, organizing ability,
