Dear friends,

Its being a real pleasure & priviledge to know about GOPIO and there activities , accept my best wishes for all your future endeavours.
I am Akshat Sharma running a chain of newspapers called SWADESH from the states of Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh in INDIA. Its a hindi Daily morning newspaper published from Bhopal,Sagar,Jabalpur in Madhya pradesh & Raipur , Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh. We are in the field for last 25 years and hold very good reputation , readership and circulation. As media field is getting more and more expensive by virtue of rapid changing technology and high input cost , its now tough to run a chain of daily newspapers.

So in the light of above context we are looking for financers who can contribute or partner with us in upgrading our printing unit and enhance our newspapers circulation by investing money in our newspaper.

If any of our fellow indian brothers are interested ,Please feel free to contact me at akshat51@hotmail.com.
Thanks

Hello friends,
 
I am in the process of developing a website bharatnirman.co.in

My Basic Objectives to develop this Website are :-

This website is first step towards converting our dream in to reality.

The dream : Convert our country into a developed country by 2050.
            Make our country with best democracy in the world.

Objectives :
  - This website will act as a platform to educate all Indians &
    NRI’s about all aspects of this object and build a common
    understanding between them about our national goals & objectives.

  - Website will provide a common platform to all Indian Citizens & NRI’s
    where they will provide us their valuable input & feedback on
    different listed subjects. They can also tell us to add subject.

  - When we will start interacting with public regularly, they will come
    in touch with us. Then we will educate them to group under the banner
    of a citizen organization and volunteer for national cause. If we
    succeed to form a organization that will be next step towards
    implementation of ideas. This projected organization will boost
    development activities in respective areas, act as a watchdog on govt.
    expenditure, will fine tune the working of govt. machinery.
 
  - Website will work to bring together other local NGO’s, organizations
    working in specific areas. Work to promote their cause. We will also
    provide them men power after suggested citizen organization is formed.

  - Website will list the outstanding personalities from public life from
    India & abroad, who can be a part of national think tank. This think
    tank will define basic national goals / policies. And citizen
    volunteers will see their implementation.

  - Since I am from Ludhiana ( Punjab ). Ludhiana is a big industrial
    city. It is facing a number of problems. We will initially target
    development of Ludhiana Distt. Only. Ludhiana Distt will made a model
    of development. Success here will be replicated all over rest of
    Punjab & then to rest of India .

  - Work for the development of a national software p-governance (i.e.
    public governance) which will be provided to the suggested citizen
    organization. This will make govt. machinery responsible & answerable
    to law abiding citizens. Once these systems are established it will
    change their working style completely as they will be under regular
    monitoring of public.

What will be on the website :

    - Bharat Nirmaan (Topics for national development)
        - Definition of a developed country.

     satistics, regarding Cities & district (initially Ludhiana Distt.
     Only.), feedback of people on various departments. We will try to
     show performance of departments, district administration etc..

   - Ludhiana of Future :
     This section will cover suggestion from everybody to develop a
     concept to Develop Ludhiana District into a Modal District of future.

     Ludhiana is a industrial hub of India . This Manchester of Punjab is
     lacking even basic civil infrastructure & facilities. It is
     surrounded by villages. So we have to think & develop a concept of a
     future city. Based on which development of Ludhiana should be based.
     What infrastructure is needed here to promote industry & agriculture.
     Develop system so that NRI’s can also be a part of this development
     process.
