INSPIRED by Shri Indresh Kumar, Sah-Sampark Pramukh of RSS, the Nationalist Muslim Movement and some other Muslim organisations in Delhi took the initiative and collected money during the month of Ramazan to help the terrorism-affected families in Kashmir. The organisations that collected money for this pious cause include My Hindustan, Rashtravadi Muslim Andolan, Bharatiya Muslim Parishad and others. This was for the first time that Muslim organisations collected money during the month of Ramazan for the families of terrorist victims in Kashmir. On December 14, 2004, Smt. Nafisa Hussain, Member, National Commission for Women, flagged off a truck loaded with 115 sewing machines and 250 blankets. Shri Arif Beg, former minister and president of Anjuman Aman Dost Insan Dost, led the team that visited Kashmir to distribute the relief material. The relief material was distributed to 90 women in two different programmes held at Srinagar and Baramulla.

Improvement projects - Society Development

Improvement projects all around will develop a society. In japanese companies progress was driven by improvement projects initiated by workers in millions. No doubt today they are unable to compete with more cheap sources of labour. But still they could beat USA in a number of industries because their quality was more and cost was less.

I keep urging various national organizations to motivate their local set ups to take up social improvement work. Organizations like RSS which have local sakhas, congress seva dal, trade unions etc. can take up some improvement projects at their local outfit level to bring improvement all around. We had NSS of students. We have to do and create success stories and leverage small successes into big successes.

My another post in the topic

We do not have many things. What we do not have can be recorded in world development report. Before them we als know them. But how to improve them. How much improvement you are able to do around you before retiring tired. Each of us has to do something worthwhile around us and then during periods we are tired to do something on our own, encourage others to do something. We need millions of self improvement projects to improve our society. I hope this orkut discussion will be prove useful to create some.
