[Attachment(s) from Prime Point Srinivasan included below]

Dear friends

We are pleased to release the August 2010 (54th edition) of our ezine on the theme 'Online Advertising'.  This edition is Guest Edited by Ms Divya Sesha from London.  

The edition may also be downloaded form the following link (488 k in pdf) 


You may listen to the video intro by Divya Sesha in the following link


Online Advertising has come to stay in the marketing and branding strategies. Presently, the global internet penetration is around 30% and it is growing at fast rate. With the emergence of internet technology, the concept of advertising is undergoing a tremendous change.

A recent study shows that online advertisement, which was around 6% over the total global ad-spend in 2006 has now become 12% in 2010 and is growing at fast rate. Another study reveals that in UK alone, the online advertisement constitutes around 25% of the total ad-spend.

When we conducted an online survey in August 10 for this purpose, we realised the lack of knowledge about the online advertisement in developing countries. Hence, we decided to publish this ezine with more of fundamentals, to create a taste in this new area of marketing tool.

Please read the ezine and send us your feedback.

[India_Vision_2020] Suyam enabled 15 families to stop begging and to take up auto rickshaw driving

 

hi all

suyam, one of the partner groups of Action 2020 is working for the benefit of street children.  On the recent Independence day, they helped 15 families who were involved in street begging, to acquire autorickshaws through THADCO.  Please read the note sent to me personally by Mr Muthuraman, co-founder of Suyam.   India Vision Group and Action 2020 team proudly congratulates the Suyam team and the beneficiaries for taking up a new and dignfied life.

We look forward to more such success stories from the members of India Vision group.

Dear Sir

With all your blessings and prayers, Suyam beneficiaries are leading a peaceful life.

Would like to share with you about our long time dream came true – Community
development activities.

Begging to Best Practices

Suyam (www.suyam.org) identified 50 families in the year 1999 who involved in begging
for the past 4 decades. Taken a documentary movie NADAIPADHAI POOKKAL and
taken a oath that Suyam will work hard to rehabilitate them so that pavement stones can
nourish like pavement flowers. After 4 years of awareness, they realized the important of
education and motivated us to start a school. Siragu Montessori School (www.siragu.org)
started in 2003 with 34 children 12km near Avadi and now school providing free
education 400 more children.

Community Development Activity under SEP (Suyam Empowerment Program)
On our motivation, families were given their begging but looking out for a alternative
earning sources or livelihood sources for them. Further, counseled them and kindled
their skills and many youngsters learnt auto driving and for the past 5 years tried to
identify donors to get their support and pay down payment to financier to get them a auto
loan. But our efforts gone in vain.

We didn't given up our spirit, through a well wisher we got to know about TAHDCO –
Tamiladu Adi Dravida Housing Development Corporation. Met the MD who is an IAS
officer, when we expressed our interest in support the families rescued from begging, he
told us to submit relevant papers of people who wish to opt for auto loan and within two
weeks he will grant the loan.

Worked with full spirit, entire TAHDCO department well co-operated, within 3 weeks, with
the blessings of Universe, 15 families got sanctioned subsidized loan. TAHDCO granted
a loan amount of Rs.23.94 lakhs with low interest rate out of which 3.75 lakhs is subsidy
grant (each beneficiary get 25000 subsidy).

On 15th August, at Siragu Campus, distributed 3 wheeler autorickshaws to 12 families
and TATA magic 4 wheelers to 3 families.

Suyam stand as a guarantor and responsible for repayment of loan to TAHDCO by
collecting the monthly contribution from the beneficiaries.

We are very happy to share with you that our long time dream come true and 15 families
are proud owners of their vehicles, a new avenue to earn and now no need to stretch
their hands to beg but with their hard work and promptly repay the loan, more other
families also will get support in future.

We feel it is our duty to let u know what's happening in Suyam becos every one of you
guiding us and supporting us in any forms.

This is the translation

" I invoke, goddess Sarswathi, in my heart, to imbibe these values in my communication.

Hi all

Recently, there was a discussion in prpoint group about the various management and communication strategies in ancient Indian literatures and epics.  There was a discussion about the strategies used  in Ramayana and Mahabarata.  Also, the members pointed out the tips provided by Chankaya and Thiruvalluvar.  

During  the discussion, Dr C V N Reddy, one of the senior communication professionals from Hyderabad suggested that why should I not take up writing about the tips provided in Thirukkural.

Thirukkural was written 2000 years back by Saint Thiruvalluvar.  In 1330 couplets (known as Kural), Thiruvalluvar talks about many management and human principles.  Each Kural has only 7 words with 25 to 30 characters.  Probably, when Twitter with 140 characters was introduced, the whole world got excited.  But Thiruvalluvar has conveyed great principles in 7 words even 2000 years back.  

As suggested by Dr Reddy, I am making an honest attempt to write  about the management and communication strategies and tips provided by Saint Thiruvalluvar.  Thirukkural is a big ocean with lot of valuable treasure inside.  Though I do not consider myself competent to understand the great meanings of Thirukkural, I am only making an humble and honest attempt to share my views with others, whatever little  I have understood.  Please visit the following links:

1. Maintain comfortable distance with CEO

I plan to write three posts every week. You may keep visiting the site or subscribe through email from the subscription box given in that site.

I always hold the view that our Indian ancient Gurus have communicated to us better strategies, than even the foreign authors.  Probably, we have not explored their greatness.  With all humility, let us try to explore them to the best possible way.  

You may kindly send your views and suggestions to me personally.

[India_Vision_2020] World Humanitarian Day [1 Attachment]

 
[Attachment(s) from INDU included below]

Dear Sir,

I’m now an year old proud companion of Sir Kalam’s India Vision group. In this very occasion of  World Humanitarian Day I would like to bring forward an issue which I feel should have been dealt with much sensibly.

Recently I had come across one of the Girl Child Rehabilitation / Orphanage home Named BAHGIRATHI SHILPASRAM, P.O. – BHAGIRATHI SILPASRAM, SHIMURALI, DIST. – NADIA, WEST BENGAL, INDIA, Pin – 741224,  that works under the Registration U/S 25 of Companies Act, with Certificate of Incorporation No. 16199 /1012 of year 1947 – 48.

I really felt ashamed of myself to declare me as a responsible citizen of Indian Republic when I personally visualized the condition of this noble organization. They constitute around 350 No of girl child collected from various agencies ( like Government Rehabilitation department, local police station, hospitals and even the people who are unable to bear the orientation charges of their children).

Govt. of West Bengal Provide a pre-settled amount for each child which is again too less to even provide them two time food.

They had approached for Central Govt. Grant for REHABILITATION OF CHILDREN OF PROSTITUTES for the year 2008-09 and also 2009 – 10. This organization had received the this same grant last for the year 2007-08. But due to some un-known superficial reason same is not been disbursed for this two years now despite of due recommendations from the Govt. Of West Bengal. I’m attaching the copies of the same recommendations also in this mail.

I was there on 15th Aug with those children and kept on abusing myself for not able to do any favour to this underprivileged deprived lot of our nation. We were celebrating our 64th anniversary of Independence, but does it really fair enough to depict it in that fashion.

My humble to request to all group member to extend every possible help to this ailing institute, so that it can continue with the noble work it is trying to comply with it’s one of the finest lot of people associated with them.

 

With Warm Regards to All

[India_Vision_2020] Dr Abdul Kalam's Independence Day Message

 

Source : Deccan Chronicle 15th August 2010

` My Independence Day message to our people is: `Gain Confidence' . Everyone should feel `I can do it' . `I can do it' will lead to `We can do it' . `We ` can do it' will lead to `India can do it' ... And we will achieve Vision 2020 goals easily

The message that former President DR A.P.J. ABDUL KALAM would like to send out to the people on the occasion of Independence Day is "Gain Confidence". In an interview to SYED AKBAR, the scientistteacher says India should have a vision to inspire people to dream, and that only a vision for the nation will connect people. He urges that we move away from "political politics" to "development politics", and make fundamental recommendations for enhancing primary education. The nuclear scientist in Dr Kalam believes that in 10 or 15 years there could be "some good results" in the area of getting power from nuclear fusion which can take care of the world's energy needs forever.

Q. This Independence Day cannot raise hopes among people -the price situation has taken its toll; Internal security has deteriorated on account of the Maoist problem and Kashmir; The shocking state of preparations for the Commonwealth Games, otherwise an opportunity to showcase the country, is a demoralising factor. What are key governance processes and issues that can help us to gain confidence?
A. In any country, particularly in a democracy with a multiparty, multi-cultural and multilingual set-up, there are bound to be some challenges and issues. But we should not allow the problems to become our master. We should defeat the problems and succeed.

The nation should have a vision to inspire people to dream, irrespective of their affiliation. To face challenges, there must be a vision to ensure focused action. A vision for the nation will connect people. The political system is nothing but political politics plus development politics. Once elections are over, importance should be given to the politics of development, rather than political politics. One should think of how to develop the nation. Political politics should occupy just 30 per cent of our time while 70 per cent of the time should be given to the politics of development.
Both at state and the Centre, importance should be given to growth and development.


Q. You have always spoken of empowering the young through education, and your new book further elaborates this theme. Do we need to change the type of education we impart in schools and colleges, or should we just try to expand the coverage of the present pattern of literacy and education in the country?
A. The important milestone achieved in our education system is the legislation on Right to Education. It will lead to free and compulsory education for children up to 14 years of age. It will change the literacy pattern in the country. Primary education needs reforms. There should be creative classrooms with creativity in focus. It should not be exam-oriented.

If there's high creativity at the early school level, it will have a good impact on secondary and higher education. We should have the motto of "teachingresearch-teaching". Bring experienced professors to schools from universities on rotation basis to teach primary students. I feel primary education should get priority.

Q. Vision 2020 was something you liked to speak about in terms of making India a developed country. We are only a decade from there. Do you believe that is enough lead time? How should these 10 years be used best? What should be the priority areas for national attention?

A. The gross domestic product is 8.5 per cent at present. The government wants to increase it to a minimum 10 per cent by 2011. This will have a great impact on various sectors, including agriculture, education, information and communication technology, industry and infrastructure.

My Independence Day message to our people is: "Gain Confidence". Everyone should feel "I can do it". "I can do it" will lead to "We can do it". "We can do it" will lead to "India can do it". We must have the confidence to do it. We will achieve the Vision 2020 goals easily. But the important factor is creating confidence.

Q. The neighbourhood we live in is both unsafe and unstable. The internal politics in countries that are on our doorstep can easily cause problems for us. Is domestic growth within the country possible if we don't take steps to stop negative impetus from these countries becoming a road-block for us? How best can we calm our neighbours' nerves?

A. If Europe can form European Union (EU) after fighting so many wars, why can't South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) countries establish cordial ties? Today EU has a Parliament of 23 nations.
Their aim is peace and prosperity. The enemies for India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are poverty, disease and unemployment. Just like the EU, our Saarc can emerge stronger. We should make Saarc a purposeful venue with prosperity, development and peace as focus. After all, people want peace and prosperity.


Q. How do you see the state of India's defences and the state of its military preparedness in the light of current threat perceptions? 

A. Our armed forces always stand with strength when India needs them. I feel we should reinforce them at the right time with the right force, so that we should not be left unprepared, when the situation demands.


Q. Many think that coalition governments have come to stay. Do you agree?
A. I am a believer in the twoparty system. At best three. We need electoral reforms. Members elected should focus on development politics. When this happens, there's little time left for political politics. Then the multi-party system will go.


Q. Do you regret not getting a second term as President? Do you think that politicians prevented it despite the huge public support you enjoyed?
A. Before becoming President, I was a teacher. When the offer came, I took up the task primarily with the focus on Vision 2020. For five years I did the best I could. The love of teaching brought me back to teaching.


Q. Would you have accepted a second term if this were feasible?
A. I told you that I love teaching.


Q. And your message to the youth on Independence Day?
A. Citizens should develop righteousness in the heart.
When there is righteousness in the heart, there's beauty in the character. When there's beauty in the character, there's harmony in the home. Harmony at home will create order in the nation, which will ultimately create peace in the world.
