Dear Chandan-da: Thank you for writing about the RVC. It
was very uplifting. I think we should try to do something to help in our own
small ways – whenever we can. Of course, hats off to the people who
dedicate their life and skills to such organizations. For me, a greater sign of hope is the fact
that an environment for such voluntary enterprises exists now. I don’t
think it would have been possible fifteen or even ten years ago. The success
stories of some skillful and dedicated NGOs in other parts of the country
(along with the bad eggs that are just out to make money), the recognition they
receive now from society at large and the incentives from international bodies
and global voluntary organizations that are a part of the integration of the Indian
economy into the global economy – have created some of the essential
conditions for sprouting of such activities in more neglected areas of the
country where none but the missionaries had gone before. I also think it is a
sign that sufficient “peace” exists for people to feel secure
enough to work in such long term projects and that bodes well for the future. Regards, Santanu. |
