Real world example

What we are aiming at is what has happened for Tavdi village in Gujarat.
http://www.tavdivillage.com/

We would like Indians in India/Diaspora Indians to form groups such as Tavdi village group meaning if you are from Ahore, Jalore District, Rajasthan State, join hands with others like you from Ahore spread across the world and start discussions among yourselves. Decide on development work needed in your village, work with NGOs in Anore village or Jalore District or Rajasthan State and execute the development projects such as road construction, water tank, school building, college, hospital, library, micro-enterprise, micro-credit, SHGs etc.

If we can get Indians from each of 6 lakhs villages to setup 6 lakhs discussion groups on this blog, meet and interact with people from their own village and finally contribute and execute the development work in their own village, India will be a developed country in 15 years.

This group can act as a coordinating agency for the 6 lakhs village development groups and help them identify NGOs and projects in their village.

Join the movement.

A Private Global Fund for India's Development

From among the 21 million Diaspora Indians, we are looking for only 0.6 million Diaspora Indians who would adpot 1 village each from among the 0.6 million villages of India for next 10 years and invest a minimum of USD 25,000 per year for next 15 years in their adopted village. They can invest for building roads, water tanks, schools, hospital, health project, SHG formation, community organisation and development, environment, tree plantation and so on and so forth.

The projects will be executed through partner NGOs. One NGO in each District and UT is identified as the District/UT Level Nodal NGO. This District/UT Level Nodal NGO will identify one NGO per Block as the Block Level Execution NGO.

The Block Level Execution NGO will execute your projects in its Block as per your specifications and requirements. Training will be provided in Project Proposal Writing, Project Management, Project Execution, Accounts, Human Resources, Reporting, Leadership, Team Building to all these 2 Levels of NGOs.

10% of the invested amount per year will be utilised as follows:

2.5% District/UT Level Nodal NGO Administrative Fees
