Board Meeting:

As planned we had our 4th Board meeting in Chennai, the first in the year 2009. The following are the topics that we discussed

(a) Website – (technical fine tuning, checking vision & mission statements, 'mail templates', discussion forum, website maintenance (new member addition, photo changes), etc…..
(b) Time table for every thing we do (board meetings, monthly meetings, school visits etc…..)
(c) Regulations for events (taking children our, communication for monetary help etc……)
(d) Roadmap/Activities at school
(e) Setting deadlines and meeting them
(f) Leadership for Saktyavesh
(g) Feedbacks


The discussion lasted approximately 8-9 hrs. It was an opportunity to discuss and debate our actions, our past present and future actions. The majority of the time was spent on discussing about our "website". It's important as this is our face on the web. A lot of deadlines emerged from the discussions. One thing was clear - If we have to be successful, we have to stay committed & focussed, set realistic deadlines and honor them and work and succeed with integrity. If each one of us work and contribute in our own little way, however we can, then it will be a certain path to achieving our Vision with great team work



Bangalore School Activity:

Planned School Events



We are now getting prepared for the events which are scheduled to be held in Bangalore and Chennai Schools. Listing of events, their time table, the number of students planned to participate all this in great detail to make the event successful and truly enjoyable for the kids and the volunteers. This is for sure one great way to engage the children, inculcate the learning attitude and invoke the interest to come to School. We have also planned for prizes to be distributed to encourage the students
