  1.   Step-by-Step Camp Coordination Process

Step 1: Receiving the Camp Request

  •   NGO / external organization approaches KSV requesting permission to conduct a camp
  •   They share:

 ○ Proposed date

○ Time

○ Duration

  •   Office coordinator:

○   Informs management

○ Checks venue availability

Step 2: Date & Venue Confirmation

  •   After management approval:

○ Camp date and time are confirmed

○ Suitable hall / open area is identified

  •   Venue details are shared with the NGO

 

 

Step 3: WhatsApp Coordination Group

  •   Office coordinator creates a dedicated WhatsApp group
  •   Group name format: Camp Name @ KSV
  •   Group members:

○  NGO coordinator

○  NGO team representative

○  Office coordinator

○  CEO  Mr.Karthi Easwaramoorthy

  •   All coordination, requirements, and confirmations must happen only through this group

Step 4: Requirement Collection

  •   NGO shares a clear list of requirements, including (if applicable):

○ Chairs and tables (count)

○ Drinking water bottles

○ Dustbins

○ Plug points / power supply

○ Food for camp team

○ Cameraman

○ Any other basic arrangements

  •   Office coordinator ensures all requirements are clearly documented in the WhatsApp group

 

Step 5: Estimate Sharing (No Budget Commitment)

  •   If the NGO asks for cost details:

○ KSV shares an approximate estimate only

Clearly states:

“This is only an estimate, not the exact cost.” 

  •   KSV does not commit to any spending

 

Step 6: NGO Decision & Written Confirmation

  •   Based on the estimate:

○ If the NGO finds it reasonable → NGO confirms KSV to arrange items

○ If the NGO does not find it reasonable → NGO arranges items independently

  •   NGO decision must be confirmed in writing in the WhatsApp group

Step 7: Food Arrangement Process (If Applicable)

  • Office coordinator proactively asks the NGO whether food is required for the camp team

 (breakfast / lunch / tea / coffee / snacks)

  •   If food is required:

○   Office coordinator checks with vendors

○ Shares an approximate food cost with the NGO

 

  •   Based on NGO response:

 

○   If the NGO accepts the estimate → KSV may arrange food

 

○  If the NGO does not accept the estimate → NGO arranges food on their own

  •   Food cost is always borne by the NGO

Step 8: Public Notice & Community Intimation (If Applicable)

  •   Notice content and printing are fully the NGO’s responsibility
