This post is about future decision making. Decisions that together all of us would make about whether or not- we should embark on a change how the Brotherhood Scholarship Fund is being currently utilized. In case we decide to change- what could be the possible new avenues to utilize the fund we collect to make even great impact? And at the end how should we do that?
Brotherhood scholarship has successfully completed seven years of continuous effort to help meritorious but needy students of RKM Narendrapur. We have collectively, over the period of years, have raised more than Rs 7.8 lakhs. Along the way we have gathered suggestions that may be it is the time to re-look at the strategy to leap into the next level of efficiency.
We are starting a discussion in our blog http://brotherhoodscholarship.blogspot.com/ to debate all possibilities and decide what could be the best way out? We would like to hear your comments. Once we have sufficient discussions on this aspect, we would arrange for a vote to select top 4 ideas. Subsequently- we would discuss with RKM college authorities- which of these are more workable and would implement the same for the next year.
Currently our fund is utilized in various student welfare activities such as paying of examination fees and tuition fees. Let me write down a few concepts that I have picked up from our fellow brothers to facilitate the discussion.
- Infrastructural projects- College (Computers, books, and capital intensive item/ lab equipment that college requires)
- Infrastructural projects- Hostel (Solar electricity, hot water, High speed internet connection, Gymnasium etc)
- Individual assistance (Sponsor all expenses of 3-6 students, who are highly meritorious. 2 students from each year)
- Individual assistance (Scholarship to study in premier institutes such as IITs, IISc, ISI, IIP etc)
These are only a few. I am sure all of you would have even more ideas. Please go to the blog and post you comments. Please leave your Name. (We may not consider anonymous posts).
Cheers.
