Schedule

Phase 1 started on January 1 st , 2015 and with 2 teams of two volunteers each traveled on motorcycles by road from village to village initially in the state of West Bengal for 6 months. They collected data using Smartphone’s and periodically upload results to a data warehouse. The surveyors rest one day per week and spend an additional day per week maintaining their motorcycles and refilling provisions. A support staff provides coordination and logistical support.

Phase II
Another leader had said if an individual does not have education, he does not have any wealth. Education enlightens an individual to so many truths about life, otherwise he lives a life just like an animal. Lack of education has kept the person in the same style and level of living for the past several centuries. No transformation. Grandparents have had no education; present parents do not have education and so are the
present children. They do not know their own rights. So, the second step is to take education program into the villages. A balwadi or an adult education program, will be started by sending a volunteer to go and live in a particular village. Moral and spiritual education based on holy book will be given. Basic healthcare lessons will be taught.

Will make provisions to get further education to know their rights and teach them the access to receive what government has approved for them and how middlemen eat away all their provisions. True spirituality will enable every individual to become good. Poverty should be completely eradicated. Women too need education. India will be truly a superpower, if, and when, the whole India is developed.
