has started three different projects- "I Care", " Educate India", "Develop Your Village".Join & be with me in Redefining India.
India Redefined draws its inspiration from Gandhian Movement which was a revolution focused on independence. It was also about specific actions like non- cooperation by citizens. We are just trying to apply many Gandhiji's principles’ in this era, in this society and during these times. Maybe in a different flavor! Maybe the context is different! Maybe it’s a different world! But the goal is same! He also wanted India a better place to live in.
Thousands of people have joined this movement across the globe but we have only 37 Chapter co-ordinators till now to take on the responsibility, by rotation in different cities of India.It is voluntary work. If you want to suggest anyone's names for Chapter coordinator, then please send me a mail regarding this at ranjanakanti@indiaredefined-a4c.org
Pranam.
Just now, (16.01.10, 6.00 pm) I saw on Doordarshan a report on North East. It featured you and your Ashram. I am too insignificant a person even to praise you. You are a doer. I am writing this only to salute you. I was a NewsReader in Gujarati with AIR New Delhi till I retired in Nov.08. I request you to pleaase let me know in advance if you happen to come to Delhi. I shall feel obliged if I can be of any help to you in Delhi.
Hope you are well and fine. I’ve given your contact details to my friend – Brahmachari Vinay Sagar. He is devoted young Jain brahmachari, also inspired by Gandhiji and believes in constructive works. Presently he is in Guwahati. I’ve told him a little about your work and life. So, he is impressed and willing to meet you. He will ring you up anytime tomorrow afternoon.
With warm regards,
amit
