COMMUNITY NEEDS - SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Dear All

Day by day the community needs, issues and challenges are becoming more complex and are dynamic. All these aspects are widely circulated in the media both print and electronic. 

Raising the issue of the community by the local people as well as the media is one side of the coin. 

The second side of the coin should think about the possible solutions and who should do it???????.

Before putting the things to others like Government, NGOs and other providers, the users of the affected people should make their contribution whatever they can do.

Let us analyze the common issues and needs of the community which includes after (Roti, Kapada and Makhan):
  1. Daily needs in view of high rates
  2. Water both Quantity & quality and 
  3. Power.
The first one can be managed by making their own cooperatives by getting the same directly from the producers. 

The second one need more attention interms of:
  • Maintain the greenery both inside and out side the house to the extent possible
  • Harvest the rainwater by way of sending it through the space available both inside and outside the house
  • Control the use of water with effective utilization
  • Don't allow the rainwater or the water used for cleaning the vehicles / house on to the road and instead sink it into the pits made.
  • Don't put rainwater or other flow water directly into the drainage pipe and instead sin into the subsurface. 
  • Also develop community measures for sinking the rainwater through harvesting pits. 
The third one connected with the power, the experience is horrible with darken days. The issue is also with the limited supply of Gas for the domestic use which forces us to look for the alternatives. 
At individual and community levels the power issues can be minimised by way of:
  • Install SOLAR Panels for supporting the POWER shortages
  • Use SOLAR heaters for hot water
  • Use SOLAR Devices for Cooking 
  • Use SOLAR Chargers and
  • Adopt the devises to the SOLAR ENERGY. 
I am in the process and will be working with the communities to create awareness as an advocacy with skill development to overcome the issues at individual / community level to the maximum extent possible.  
After this, the affected group can approach the Government and other sources to get better support.
I will be posting more on this novel method / approach in preparing the individuals / community to prepare themselves to face the issues with sustainable solutions for development at all levels....
Looking forward for better sharing and networking.....
All the Best
