Life with out WATER?

Dear All,

Goodmorning.

Can we imagine the life with out WATER?  The most expected answer is "it is beyond imagination?".  Knowing the fact we are not realizing the situation.  Our ancients were intelligetn and lead better quality of life in the given natural environment than all of us. The reasons are very simple.  They respeted the nature and managed the available natural resources with balance. The water, the most precious one was harvested, managed and utilized with respect as it is the life saving natural resource given by the GOD.   We all know what happened from their time to till today?  Slowly, the process of Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization (LPG) was taken the upper hand with out creating balance between the advantages and disadvantages.  Finally it has resulted for the creation of wider gap between the POOR and RICH. Inspite of the better and effective connectiviety, the development has not not reached the  grass root level people.

Solution for the present water crises  and poor development is simple if we all think to create healthy environment.  Adviced by our elders, with respect if the rainwater is harvested, managed and used certainly we all can lead better quality of lfie with sustaianbiltiy. 

Looking forward for better understanding, networking and sharing of views etc........

Abilities Melas are the need of the hour for the Empowerment of PWDs

Dear ALL

Goodmorning.

The urgent need in the process of Empowering the PWDs is to show their skills which mostly leads for their revenue generation and thus economical empowerment. In addition to the on going Melas, probably we all need to think this as a process instead of an event.  

In this direction, the need is to move towards the concept of cooperatives by the PWDs / Parents / NGOs etc. To increase access, cooperatives need to be planned at all levles including: National, State, District, Mandal and even at Villages level. All the concerned authorities or consumers can support this concept by alloting certain products based on their skills and local needs.  This certainly helps both the groups i.e. producers and consumers. 

There exists several successful examples before us starting from the level of Colony / Housing Society itself. 

Looking forward for better networking and thus empower the PWDs for better living with sustaianble approaches.......

with thanks

DEVELOPMENTAL COMMUNICATION

Dear All,

Communication is the most powerful tool to enhance the capacities of the individuals / organization and finally the country.  The logic goes that, commnication helps to build: the capacities, mobilize resources, independent living, better sustainability, better quality of life and thus finally the wellness of every one. 

The Information and Communicaton Technology (ICT) helps to utiize the modernized technology in improving the access and thus to get the entitlements as a RIGHT at all levels.

Looking forward to work with the modern communication technology for reaching the un-reached with better service delivery system suting to their issues, skills, needs and living environment.
