Hi ...... All of you
Hope u r doing great
Sub: Giving birth to an organisation to undertake humanistic activities
The following are the points discussed on 14-03-2009 evening in Rentachintala ST ground
Issues discussed
1. Chalivendram: Discussed about setting up of chalivendram in our home town. We know ours is one of the hottest places in AP. Chalivendram will be very useful for the needy to cool down their thirst in hot summer. We roughly estimated it will cost us about Rs. 15000/- to 20000/- for 3 months. It will be costlier for the organisation which has not yet born. Even we are not able to do it this year, keep our hands together to do it next year. Request Mr. Pedda Siva to do a detailed cost estimate.
2. Increasing member base through net: This is one which to be done immediately. Request all of you to reply me to this mail by marking a CC to those whom we can add as members. So that I can add them to our list.
3. Name to the organisation: Request every one to come up with the suitable names. We will finalise the name through regular mail correspondence or in our next meet. Please send names by reply mail.
4. Agenda / Probable activities of our organisation: (Everyone is requested to come up with additions or modifications to the below list)
Spreading awareness about importance of education
Women empowerment and abolition of child labour
Assistance to poor who are not able to continue primary education because of poverty
Seasonal activities like chalivendram in summer
5. Search for needy students and sponsers: Cheyutha foundation with which i am working has sponsered 12 poor students in 2008 academic year with fees for school education. For 2009 academic year it is planning to increase students to 50 and also finding sponsers. Please help out in finding students from our hometown and sponsers. Please dont give 100 % asssurance to the students as we will shortlist 50 deserved students out of the available.
6. Contributions : Mr. Pathi has evinced interest to start a fund for which contributions of even Rs. 100 /- a month consistently by us will be helpful greatly. Let us think over modalities for it.
Members present
P. Siva Rama Krishna (pedda busi)
P. Siva Rama Krishna (chinna busi)
K. Satyendra Kumar
N. Kishore (NK)
P. Lakshmi Pathi - lawyer
N. Murali Prasad - CA
Please don't think we are not able to do these. See Cheyutha foundation with which I am working in Hyderabad has started 2 years back with very few people and now has member base in 100s (10 Active participants). You can visit it at www.cheyutha.co.in . I am just herewith forwarding the minutes of our last meeting. Things will not be done instantly it needs lots of planning, support, patience. Just with Rs. 10,000/- p.m of assured donations it is doing good job. See its achievements in its website.
Hope we all be together for a good cause.
Please come out with your suggestions. Feel free to send reply mails. While replying use REPLY TO ALL so that every one has track of it.
Let us spend 2 hours a week for a good cause.
Thanks & Regards

Sounds good ra..... expecting more helping hands will join us soon.
Am thinking of launching site(would be very simple and normal initially) for the same...... investigating about the cost involved in that and if it is in our limits we can plan for the site also (i know it will take some time). If that is happened we can expect online donations also. :-)
I have an idea that it would be better if we approach people at our town and also our respective relatives.

It sounds great buddy and i'll ask some of my folks to join in our activities. Let we plan for longterm activities and services, well i have an idea in regarding chalivendram, we will sponser some money to the chalivendram which already in exists.Don't expect more contributions in such a bad economic and recession time ,Now adays every body wants to save money for their needy time . Thats why i suggest sponsering money to aexisting chalivendram.
Prasad i heard abt cheyutha man, these guys have done a gr8 job & I appreciate it though.
First start with one work later we will plan it accordingly..

Then we can start the work, other wise we will face problems.

Thanks and Regards

Hi....... guys.........
thank u all for ur initiatives.......
lawyer will take care of bank a/c for the funds...
but raiii...... most important than that are others.......
see my first mail of the 5 pts i had discussed, funds are discussed in last point.
Ofcourse i dont say it is of least priority...
First I propose a task for all of you for the month of March 09.
1. Request every one to propose atleast 3 names for our organisation which is yet to be borned.
While searching for names, please check in google whether any organisation already exists with that name. Because few names proposed by our friends are already existing.
2. Request every one to introduce 2 to 3 people to our network. Search among our seniors, juniors, people from our home town, etc., ......... I CAN SAY THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF ALL THE START UP ACTIVITIES. Please do it.
Request you all to spend 2 hours for the month March 09 for the above two activities.
While introducing new friends, make them aware of meetings of our first meeting in ST grounds and further correspondence. Fwd them our full conversation if u feel it is necessary.
This mail contains all our mail ids and also ids of my friend peddi reddy and my cousin anil.
This mail contains all our discussion from starting. I think it is easy for you to introduce about us by fwding this mail.
Introduce us new friends by adding them to cc and fwding this mail.
Can any one took the task of keeping database of all mail ids of new friends we are introducing to our network ..........?
Please spend your valuable time of 2 hrs in March 09 for this one.
Please dont change the subject to keep the track continuous...........

Hi all of you.....
We are progressing at a good pace......
I will just give breif of few aspects went on over 10 days.
Name:
We had finalised our foundation name as Pragathi Foundation.
We got nominations for Vennela and Pragathi. Of those Pragathi is finalised as more choosen for that.
Contribution:
With in short span of a month from starting organisation, we got good support.
P. Lakshmi Pathi (lawyer) - Rs. 100 /- p.m
Siva Rama Krishna - 1 % of salary p.m
Peddi Reddy - 1 % of salary p.m
Prasad (Myself) - 2 % of salary p.m
Kishore ( NK ) - Rs. 100 / - p.m
These comes around roughly for Rs. 1100 /- + p.m.
We had received a contribution of Rs. 101 /-, whose name is not disclosed. It got credited to our ICICI Account. Please let me know who is this.
Education for poor:
Last sunday I had a meeting with founders of CHEYUTHA FOUNDATION, Hyderabad.
They agreed to give financial assistance to poor people for continuing their primary education.
I am expecting Pragathi in collaboration with Cheyutha can meet needs of 10 deserving poor students.
Chalivendram:
We had analysed the pros n cons of setting a chalivendram.
As our financial sources are meger, Cheyutha foundation agreed to give financial assistance for this.
I had detailed discussion with Pedda Siva regarding cost of setting and utility of setting it.
On discussion with local people, he said it is not required, as water is free for those visting tea stall for tea.
But my Q is does all the people opt for tea on hot summer day ????
Please give your opinions on this aspect. We have to do it ASAP.
Article:
As this is election time I thought of writing an article highlighting the importance of voting.
Can we make this printed on palmplates and distribute ...... ????
Whats your opinion on this. It costs only few hundreds for this.
If you are ok with this. Please give me inputs for the article.
Group:
I had created a gmail group for our foundation.
Now you can contact all by a single mail.
It is a public group. Please visit the group and invite friends.
I had already added our friends mail ids to this group.
I am introducing you my cousin 'Jaan' to our group. Her mail id is already in our group, she also will receive this mail now.
She is doing with infosys in pune. I had added her id to this group at her request.
Now beware while mailing......... ladies are also in our group.
Now you can reach all of our group by mailing to pragathifoundation@googlegroups.com
I think ...... Itz seems my mails are a bit lengthy ........ ?
Im trying to be precise as much as possible.
Please read mails in full. Please give me feedback.
Please give ideas and suggestions - which programmes we will take up. Request you all to search websites of other foundations carrying on activities in rural areas, and suggest me. Plan for programmes which meet requirements of poor. Search in google for programmes of similar foundations.
I had requested all for a time of 4 hours a month. Hope you spend 4 hours in April 09 for the above mentioned. Google helps us greatly. Spend time on that.
