Junoon started its journey in April 2013. The first programme, a tree plantation drive, was organised in June 2013. In its short journey of three years, Junoon has tried to touch as many lives as possible. In the months of Monsoon leading to winter, educational workshops were conducted in two schools from Wada and Bhiwandi taluka under its flagship programme, Ummid. Currently Ummid is running successfully in a residential school called Gunj Ashram Shala in Wada taluka. Junoon volunteers go to the school every Sunday to conduct lectures, teach computer skills, sports, hygiene, etc. Junoon has also started a book bank at the school to inculcate the habit of reading among children. The career counseling sessions for 10th and 12th standards are also in the pipeline. Junoon had launched a donation drive on the occasion of Independence Day. The same were distributed among the children of a small village in Wada called Ujjaini Akhada. Another donation drive for sports equipment and stationery was arranged on Republic Day for the Gunj Ashram Shala. The response was overwhelming at that time too.
