OneS When it comes to our contemporary times, communication might be the one field of utmost importance. The ability to stay in touch with people and organizations though they may be continents away is one of the great miracles of modernity. It is therefore absolutely paramount that students and alumni of the prestigious Sathya Sai institutions be connected in a medium specific and unique to them. OneS is an app designed to provide this very need. It is presented as a dedicated platform that is built for the alumni of the Sri Sathya Group of Educational Institutions to celebrate, collaborate, and contribute together. This platform shall additionally serve to broadcast the information and programs of the associated institutions. It can thus unite the present and former students of the Sathya Sai Group of Educational Institutions by bringing them together for collective gatherings and functions that not only serve as a reunion of old acquaintances but also a launching pad for new ideas, initiatives, and undertakings. Not only does it serve the purpose of bringing people together to recognize their common background, it also provides a reason for service-oriented professionals to offer their learning and skills to uplift the less well-off sections of society. It is a reason for people in all sorts of disparate walks of life who might have nothing in common other than their academic background to intermingle and work hand-in-hand to achieve great things for the welfare of society at large. Such a social networking app available to all the alumni and students of the Sri Sathya Sai Group of Educational Institutions would equip them with a channel through which they’d be able to navigate life with guidance and advice from others who share a common culture and upbringing whilst also granting them opportunities to extend their strengths and abilities as an act of gratitude to the organizations and society which nurtured them.
