Four youngsters from Pollachi (near Coimbatore in Tamilnadu), Anand, Geethesh G. Pillai, TT. Giridharan and R Mohan started their "India Vision 2020 cycle rally" on 15th August 2008 from Pollachi. While Anand was cycling, the others were escorting him through out the journey. They travelled 2020 KM during this rally covering 60 villages and 20 schools/colleges. Their mission was to create awareness about India vision 2020 amongst the rural people and also to promote environmental awareness.
The rally terminated at Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai on 5th September 2008 (happend to be the Teachers Day). They were received by enthusiastic NSS Volunteers of IIT, Chennai in the evening. Few members were from India Vision Group and Partner Organisations were also present, to receive them.
Anand, who was driving the cycle all through 2020 km spoke to the IITians about the need for protecting the environment. K. Srinivasan, Moderator of India Vision Group, while appreciating the initiative taken by Anand, explained as to how the IITians, who were the 'Intellectual properties' of our Nation could contribute to the Nation in their own way. Kalam Nagappan, Founder of Young Helping Minds and a partner organisation of India Vision Group shared the success story of his team, consisting of students from various colleges.
I was impressed with the enthusiasm shown by the young IITians, who wanted to join the India Vision platform to be part of Nation building. I was further impressed when N Ganesh, a third year Electrical Engineering Under Graduate student told me that he would prefer to stay back in India to become an entrepreneur and to generate employment opportunity. In these days, when many of the IITians prefer to settle down in developed countries, it was heartening to see few people like Ganesh and his team with a National outlook.
After meeting Anand, Ganesh and their team in the IIT, Chennai campus, I returned home with a happy feeling that future of India is in safe hands.
