I have been thinking - we could set up "parallel" government structures - all powered by volunteers - to take up some of the work which the GoA should be doing or keeps out of absolutely. Funding for activities can come from tax deductible donations. Normally GoA will take the money and do nothing, why not donate and get a tax deduction AND see your money put to good use.
Ministry of Social Welfare/Education - of the Volunteer Govt of the people of Assam is already functioning - case in point - all the social activities being done by AFNA/FASS. Quite frankly, our leaders for tomorrow can come from these organizations. > To: assamonline@yahoogroups.com; kuladipb...@yahoo.com > From: goswamidhi...@yahoo.com > Date: Wed, 28 Jul 2010 23:20:00 -0700 > Subject: Re: [asom] Citizenship by Force - Cut Off date > > It was the stupidity of some of the AASU leaders that were negotiating with > the Central Govt then.
