Minutes:
1. Getting closer to the Villages:
Now it is time to take our KarnaGoshThi very close to our villages. We have got strong feedback from parents and relatives of scholorship recipients and expect more such initiatives from this forum. Now we need to encourage them to be part of this forum so that KarnaGoshThi will have deep root and strong base in villages.
2. Spreading the light of education, tremendous new job opportunities for those living in villages:
To do this efficiently, we need some representatives in villages who can propagate the ideas and educate people about initiatives and opportunities. Still some concrete planning is required in this area.
About new job opportunities, Sh Amit ji has said that he will try to find out some details like what we could do there. Also, if we could get in touch with bureaucrats then probably we could explore some more possibilities. So, action item for all the valued member is to explore the forums to get in touch with politicians and bureaucrats.
3. Membership drive:
Still the participation level in KarnaGosThi is very low and we need to pump the energy level of valued mambers. First I would request all active members to attend the meetings regularly without fail. Also we need to get more and more members inducted into this forum.
4. What younger folks could do for KarNaGoshThi:
As the participation from young people is still not encouraging, the need of making KarnaGoshThi popular amongst them is felt. We need young brand ambassadors who can popularize our forum and maximize the participation. They can share the fresh and innovative ideas which will be very useful for KarnaGoshThi. Sh Amit Ji has shown interest and and taken job to make it popular amongst younger generation.
5. Registration of Karnagoshthi as Not-for-profit:
For registering KarnaGoshThi as Non-Profit organization, we still need to enquire about the formalities required. Sh Ashutosh Ji has asked for one weeks time and will let us know the details as soon as he finds it. Meanwhile, if any member can throw some light in this regard, that will be greatly appreciated.
6. Advertising Karnagoshthi:
For advertisement of our website, our site needs to be listed in top search engines like Google, yahoo etc. For this, Sh Rajiv Ranjan Ji will help us in putting META tags in KarnaGoshThi web pages and adding URL to concerned search engines. I will send a list of keywords for search, as discussed in meeting, to Sh Rajiv Ji in a separate mail.
7. Time to utilize our matrimonial section efficiently:
Now the time has come to use our matrimonial section efficiently and we request all our members to post more and more profiles of prospective bride and grooms.
Next meeting will be held on Sunday 2nd October
