India Vision 20206:50 PM No comments

dear friends

We are happy to inform you that our group has crossed 2500 membership mark. We have members across the globe, committed to develop India. We have many eminent people, Senior Government officials, scientists, academicians, social workers on board in this group. Even Dr Kalam's office continuously follow our discussions and important mails are brought to his knowledge.

We are also having sub-grouup Action 2020 team with 30 youth organisations covering South India. Recently, we had Action 2020 - UnConference at Chennai and Dr Kalam also interacted with the representatives of 30 organisations over phone. We have also published the details in this group with audio of Dr Kalam's interaction. You may visit http://www.action2020.co.cc for more details.

In the recent months, especially after Action2020 event, large number of committed youth have joined us with more enthusiasm. We welcome the new members to this group. For the benefit of new members, we give the guidelines for posting messages.

1. We do not allow negative, cynical, pessimistic messages in this group. Some of the members send messages giving impractical suggestions like Presidential form of Govenment, etc. We do circulate only practical views. We do not permit forwarded or chain mails.

2. We strongly believe that we have to function with all the constraints. We request our members to share their success stories of how they could silently contribute to the society for the development, braving all the challenges and constraints. You may also write about the 'UnSung heroes' in your locality with their contact details. This forum should not be used for self publicity or promotion of products or services. Genuine efforts of many persons, whom you may come across may also be shared. We should get motivated through the actions of such great unsung heroes.

3. Please do not post one line messages like "Thank you for the information', "excellent", etc. Please keep in mind that we should not load the inbox of members unnecessarily. Please do not send personal mails in the group. If you are responding to the author of the mail personally, write to him/her personally and not to the group.

4. Post messages which are of common interest to all the members. Do not post any messages like health camp, or any meeting which are of local in nature. If anything relates to South India, please inform me or Shiva ( shivapas@yahoo.com ) or Ravi (ravikumar.kalaimani@yahoo.com ), Convenors of Action 2020 team. They will circulate amongst the partner teams.

5 Presently, we are also trying to nominate coordinators for North, East and West, so that there could be more coordination. We will let you know shortly.

6. In the recent months, lots of youngsters with high vision and commitment have joined this group. We are trying to involve them in our Action 2020 projects. We will be collecting their information separately and inform them.

On behalf of the moderators of the group, we assure all the members 'high quality' contents. The purpose of this group is to bring together all the committed people to realise the Vision 2020 under the guidance of President Dr Kalam.

Jai Hind

[India_Vision_2020] Important - Quick Survey on "Impact of Social Media on Indian Voters"

India Vision 20208:56 PM No comments

dear friends

Indian Voters will be participating in General Elections in the third week of April or early May 09. Already political parties have started their exercises for alliances and campaign. Indian General Elections will be the largest Democratic exercise in the world with the registered voters of around 700 million.

Out of this, it is estimated that around 15 to 20% youth ( 18 years) are joining as new voters. It is also estimated that more than 40 to 45% of the eligible voters in India are under the age group of 35. Presently, Internet and Social Media have emerged as a powerful communication tool amongst the youth. Further more than 350 million mobiles are in use in India. Youth population will definitely make an impact in the election process.

We are making a quick study of how new technical tools will have impact on the perception of youngsters. We shall be grateful if you could kindly visit the following link and spare 3 minutes by filling your perception.

http://www.prpoint.com/poll/public/survey.php?name=election

The survey will be open till 28th February 09. We request you to kindly give your perception immediately and also circulate this link to your contacts, preferably youth.

Only Indian eligible voters may participate in the survey. You need not give your identity.

[India_Vision_2020] "Smile PInki" , documentary fetches Oscar

India Vision 20202:53 PM No comments

dear friends

In the mega hype of 'Slumdog', another Oscar Award for an India themed documentary "Smile PInki' has gone to back stage. This documentary film got the 'Best Documentary (Short) Award'. This is about the tale of a Uttar Pradesh based girl Pinki, who fought against the social stigma of 'cleft-lip'.

The girl underwent a simple surgery with the help of a NGO 'Smile Train', which funded her surgery and her visit to Los Angels. The surgery was performed by Dr Subodh K Singh. After the surgery, Pinki's life was changed.

This documentary was directed by Emmy-award winning Megan Mylan, the film was shot in Mirzapur and Varanasi of Uttar Pradesh.

It seems the documentary portrays the commitement and the passion of the social workers and the doctor in providing re-life to the girl.

dear friends

During the middle of Jan 09, one of the journalist members of prpoint group wanted to withdraw Rs.14,000/- using Kotak Mahindra Bank ATM card in HDFC ATM machine. Though, he got the debit slip, the money was not received. When he complained to the Bank, they informed him to wait for 45 days to get the money. After 10 days, we took up the matter from prpoint group to the concerned Bank. They repeated the same information.

Immediately, we circulated the information in prpoint group and took up with Mrs Usha Thorat, Deputy Governor of Reserve Bank of India, who is supervising customer services in Indian Banks. There was heated debate in the group, as to how these new generation private sector banks, in spite of their latest technology, exploit the innocent customers. Even after taking up the matter with RBI, these banks defended their position. Meanwhile, we got the acknowledgment from Mrs Usha Thorat, Deputy Governor and informing us that she was taking up the matter.

We now understand from the media that RBI has issued direction to all Banks in India that such claims are to be settled within 12 days. Now, I am sharing the media report below for the benefit of all members. You can also create awareness about this amongst your friends and contacts, so that none of the innocent customers are exploited by these so called 'people friendly hitech' banks.

We place on record our deep sense of appreciation to Mrs Usha Thorat, Deputy Governor of RBI who took up the matter and issued proper directions to the banks, to help the customers, within 15 days. While the so called 'people friendly' new generation technology banks were responding without any human approach, maintaining their stand, an apex body like RBI has taken it seriously to solve the issue, to help the customers.

This is another example of the power of social media, to solve the public grievances.

Please read the media report below

RBI direct banks to reimburse money within 12 days
By Vaibhav Aggarwal
Feb 13, 2009

The Reserve Bank of India has directed the commercial banks to pay back the money that has not been dispensed through their ATMs but debited to the customer's account within 12 days.

The banking regulator has notified banks that if they fail to provide the money within the stipulated time period, it will impose penalties under the Payment and Settlement Systems Act 2007.

RBI was prompted to take such a move because of receiving increasing number of complainants from the banks customers regarding wrongly debit of account due to failed ATM transactions.

These customers had been complaining to their respective banks which are not active in their procedure of reimbursement. The banks were taking considerable time of as much as 50 days in some cases.

Noticing such a practice followed by the bank, RBI reviewed the measures taken by the banks in the verification and resolution of such complaints. The apex bank however did not find any justification for the delay in repayment and thereby asked the banks to pay back the customer's money within a maximum period of 12 days of the complaint made by the customer.

The regulator said that the delay from banks was posing a problem to the customers who found themselves out of funds without their fault. It also emphasized that such neglect on banks' part would also discourage customers from doing transactions through ATMs.

Unlimited freedom, unlimited storage. Get it now
