With so many cities so eagerly out to make this world a better place in one single forum thread :), confusion needs to be diffused! So here is New Delhi's very own Payback Time thread :D.
Being in the capital of the country, there's a lot of potential for us to make use of. For one, most NGO's in North India are based in Delhi, our city being the natural hub for all powerplay.. and for two, we have a very enthusiastic bunch of PG-ites here :). Many of us would be moving out for Bschools.. so we just have enough time to get something going.
Continuing the discussion from http://www.pagalguy.com/discussions/drifting-away-25003265, these are the people who have volunteered for the Delhi chapter..

This discussion will go full force on the Delhi PG Meet day on May 1. Meanwhile, let us use this place for posting the BB regarding all developments on the Delhi Community Service front. So Delhi! keep adding to the list!! More people, ideas, information.. Go!
😁
Hi..Apurv and everyone else too.
I have an admission to the MDI HR course, and will be joining that in July. However, I shall be in Delhi for about four days from May 6 to May 10, and would like to meet up with one/ some of you to know what happened in the May 1 meet.
A brief on me : am a homeo doc, and I have been involved with Polio drives and awareness programmes here and there. I also suggest that we dont stop only at AIDS awareness, would make a lot more sense to educate these people about family planning and stuff on those lines. Child health and hygiene are other issues.
Free medical checkups for old/ children/ women is also an idea. Since I am a homeo, I think I can manage some sponsorship or something (can atleast give it a shot) and try and treat some of these people in the slums. I suggest homeo coz its far cheaper and cost effective as well.
Hoping for feedback.
Apurv/ someone else, please PM me your contact number.

Absolutely we are :D. Those coming to the meet could read up the whole of the Payback Time thread to background themselves on which direction the idea is taking (homework
)http://www.pagalguy.com/discussions/drifting-away-25003265
Or as a summary, following are some of the posts made by Delhi PGites. Get the pulse of what Delhi PG members are thinking of:

At the Delhi meet, we:
1) Exchange information, ideas & suggestions. Listen. Anybody having brochures/literature on NGOs that you think could be of help, get 'em along :).
2) Take a pulse-check on what area each of us thinks he/she could work in.
3) Identify one or two activities we can do in the immediate future. Those leaving for BSchool in June are more or less vellas
these days and have hardly a month left in the city. We can actually begin doing work at once. It could be something as uncomplicated as getting people from slums to vote on the May 5th leg of the elections.4) Chalk out a course for the next few days to research more on existing inputs. Sort out communication in the group and feedback to the Mods and the forum.
5) Make a database of Volunteers' contact numbers.
... add to this list!

Hi guys,
As far as I memory goes, there was more to the meet than just sorting out the list of people.
Also one more thing decided was to exchange the Y! ids of all the people interested so that we might have a confrence.
Start pouring in the ids (not here but lets all send them to one person or use PMs here).
Also I believe that the way we distributed people (region wise) would not help much. As we can see there are far too many pepople from one place and far too less from other.
I would say we should go according to the projects and the work that one would find easy to do.
Please post thee xact stuff discussed there. I am very sorry but I don't recall the finer details. 😞
Hi everyone...
Could some one please post a detailed description of yesterday's meet?? I could not attend...so I need to know!!!
CHeers,
Ashi
As decided to make a start on May 10 which is not too far, we need to formulate a strategy. Guess it would be difficult for us to meet up again before the D day, we can start a yahoo conference. I suggest we all can meet up on Tuesday at 8 PM which i beleive will be convinient to most of us. Please PM me ur yahoo IDs so that i can start conv in tuesday.
Note: Date and time of conversation is subjected to change as per everybody's convinience. 😃
