Dear all,
Please find the following news about Pradip Kumar
Sarmah , who is playing a key part in
finalising the draft bill on the Non-motorised Vehicles and Pliers (Promotion,
Regulation, Welfare and Conditions of Service) Act, 2012. The act , if passed ,
in the parliament of India , will be a framework for the livelihood and
welfare to the millions of
rickshaw-pullers all over India.

There is another article on this topic published in
the today’s issue of the Forbes.

I had the fortune of participating at the prestigious
Tech award 2011 , where Dr. Sarma was honored as a Tech laureate. I was humbled
by the sincerity and devotion of Sarma who is fully dedicated to the wellbeing
of
this marginalized section of society. For Pradip Sarmah , the passage of the
bill , will be the hardest battle , perhaps
the most arduous fight of his life. We sincerely wish that he will succeed ,
thereby
bringing security and welfare to the vast majority of India’s estimated 10
million rickshaw pullers.
Thanks , Ankur
The
biggest risk in life is not taking one
