Re: Just a thought: let us discuss & ACT!

Dear Chandu/Mahendra,

Here are my thoughts:

I think its better we take baby steps before we take gaint steps.The
moment we think of co-ordinating with Govt Programme's or scheme's or
Bargaining with Govt or local bodies the DESIRE of the individual to
propose and implement a project gets killed.
Let us not depend or force any local or govt body to contribute(money)
in implementing our DESIRE.There will be other issues also, like a
permenant body from our side has to be in constant touch with the Govt
or local body for evey project.Which I feel is a complex task and too
early.

We need create an easy platform where an individual will just get a
project and implement with help of his family or friend or a
relative,than co-ordinating with too many bodies.The whole process will
waste individuals time and kill individuals DESIRE.

And we need to start with one activity, like schools.So only projects
that will be implemented are related to schools.There are many schools
in AP where there are no proper facilities like,black
boards,flooring,fans,proper drinking water facilities,toilets,no rooms
for few standards.The list goes on and on.

Can't we make difference if we all address these first?

Regards,
Madhusudhan Reddy
