Outreach


Bargad is working in collaboration with a few organizations mentioned as below. This collaboration does not only increase the organization’s outreach but also helps it attain useful inputs from the intellectuals of the city.

Executive member of Punjab NGO Coordination Council (PNCC)
Bargad is playing a vital role in PNCC Gujranwala chapter interims of networking among the local civil societies. Director Bargad is a finance secretary of PNCC Gujranwala chapter.


Realizing the outreach and impact of electronic media especially after the seepage of cable TV, Bargad has always been conscious about the media management of its projects. Since many projects have been launched in Gujranwala, GTV being a popular channel was used as a medium of conveying Bargad’s message and training programmes to a greater number of audiences. The list of Bargad activities telecasted by GTV is as following:
Youth Festival, 12 Aug 2003
Peace Day, 20 September 2003
Seminar on Role of Youth in Social Activism 10 June 2003
Street Art, 10 December 2004

Bargad organized four seminars on different social issues at Gujranwala district with collaboration of JWS.



Since Bargad is primarily a youth organization, collaboration with other youth organizations is essential and consequently fruitful. 'Jawan Pakistan' a non-profit NGO registered with the Government of Punjab and Government of Pakistan. Jawan Pakistan-Information Gateway for Youth is a youth-focused volunteer initiative by some young people of Lahore. Its main objective is to unleash the potential of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for economic, social and political empowerment of youth. Its main tool is http://www.jawanpakistan.org.

Political education is almost nil in the society especially with the youth. Awami Jamhori Forum is an independent group established in 2002. With the passage of time people have lost confidence in these political parties. It includes right wing, left wing, liberals, democrats, social democrats etc. This forum is an amalgam of liberals, democrats, left wingers and social democrats. A member must agree on following points

Democracy (in the party and in the country)
Pro-people policies
Enlightenment
Intera faith harmony ( within Islam or with other religions)
Transparency (financial as well as political)

FM radio is fast growing medium in Pakistan. This medium is currently being used for entertainment purposes only. However the young Mastt FM 103 is doing vise versa. . Mr Shafqat Ullah who serves on the Board of Directors of Bargad is also one of the directors of Mastt FM 103.

Unlike other FM channels Mastt aims at providing the masses with entertainment as well as information and education. Their stress is basically on infotainment. The programme contents focuses on the problems of common people. They are broadcasting problems like “Rishta Accha Sa” to deal with the scarcity of good proposals for marriages. Three couples have gotten married through this programme till now.

Civil Junction - CJ - is a café with some food for thought. We are not-for-profit social enterprise.

Their vision is peaceful and friendlier World where people and their choices matter, and their ensuing diversity as men, women & children is recognised and respected.

Their purpose is to offer a platform to diverse people and divergent outlooks for creative, cordial & convivial interactions. They believe such encounters will inform their stereotypes to make them more tolerant and respectful to 'the other'.

They plan to meet their objectives through well planned, inventive, activities:
Celebrate diversity, multiple identities, and creativity
Promote tolerance through a better, more animated understanding of 'the other'
Confront tabooed issues creatively, boldly and with a sense of humour
Generate novel thinking, new associations and innovative opportunities
Endeavour business with a cause, and humane considerations
Combine fresh food with refreshing & amusing food for thought

They are presently focusing on five areas viz.
Rawadaari (Tolerance) in Pakistan; among all sorts, in all walks of life.
Yaari Dosti (camaraderie) between creative & young people world over but in particular between Indians, Pakistanis and South Asians
Joints-Exercises - Creative solutions to Civil-Military confusions/ confrontations
Smaji-Gath-Jorr (Social coalitions for progress) Bringing Business-Civil Society-Government closer for collective benefit.
Youth Matters; helping youth with a better present and promising future
