Wishing you all a very Happy, de'lightful' and safe Deepawali
Perseverance pays. Second major milestone reached – we have successfully created our bank a/c (30533359540) in SBI. The account is in the name of 'Saktyavesh'. On Wednesday we received the a/c number and also deposited Rs 10,000 in the account. It will be a 'current' account. We will not get atm card, but we will have access online. We have to collect the passbook this week. Kindly do not transfer any amount to this account. Continue transfering contributions to Vinay's account. Once we have the online credentials, and are aware of the processes we can transfer contributions to this account

We have got an opportunity to apply for funding from Business Objects (an SAP company). We have applied for this. Attached document has these information. The first file has three sections (A), (B), (C). The details needed in (C) is put in a seperate document (second attached file). If there are any inputs do let know and we can go with the best possible strategy. Hoping for the best here

Thats the information to be shared this week

Do share if there are any thoughts/ideas for our project, collaboration works better :-)

Feel free to spread the message of Saktyavesh in letter and spirit with interested individuals and organizations
