Schemes in West Bengal

The gap lies here

•There are various scheme for helping the rural people but are they enough to help them be self –sustainable. We can help for a year or so but after that we need them to earn their own livelihood

•Now, children in rural area are not sent to school as they are treated as a resource that can help their parents and moreover are thought to do the same work as their parents do.

•EDUCATIOBN IS IMPORTANT BUT NOT THE ONLY SOLUTION.

Lets Build India,Because The God gifted everybody with a brain,

then why not teach them how to use it

CAN WE CHANGE IT ALL ALONE?

Probably NO.Let’s Collaborate.

Let’s Unite.Let’s Change.

Let’s BE the changer.

PHASE 1

• Form NGO database of all those who can help (Most of us must be associated with one of them) Ex-Robin Hood Army, Help Foundation, Cloths Box Foundation.

• Sector the areas we are to start with. Ex- Food, Cloth.• Have a list of the geographical areas where should

start our work from.• Have a list of the needy and their full bio. • Track their changes on a standard development scale

and give them a standard productive routine.(to be discussed)

Why not starts from the streets of Kolkata

itself?

PHASE 2

Why not Market It.

Lets create a Brand everybody

like to be associated with.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day;

Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

(An old Chinese proverb)

.

THERE ARE ENOUGH JOBS OUTSIDE;

WE CAN HELP THEM EARN THEIR OWN LIVELIHOOD, LIKE SELLING FRUITS OR

SMALL ITEMS. OR GIVING THEM SOME CONTACT SO THAT THEY EARN THEIR OWN PENNY
