Brotherhood Scholarship Fund 2011- Final collection: Rs 195,348/-

Collection for the "Brotherhood Scholarship Fund 2011" has come to an end. 57 of us have come together to collect Rs 195,348/- (Rupees One lakh Ninety five thousand Three hundreds and Forty eight only). This year, following Satya da's instruction, no individual follow up was done. Considering this aspect- this was one of the best ever effort by the team. (Last year 55 people had contributed 2.03 lakhs).

We sincerely thank all participants and congratulate on this great achievement. This year's effort has given us assurance that this movement is a sustainable one and can only grow from strength to strength from now on. Manna would soon arrange the draft and go to RKM meet Satya da and handover the same. Anyone who are interested accompanying Manna please liaise with him regarding dates etc.

We would send the scan copy of the draft and the receipt by email to all contributors. As always- all these information would also be available on our website http://brotherhoodscholarship.blogspot.com/.

BHS collection status 2 Jun 2011

After 4 weeks of collection, we have managed to get Rs 67,833/-  for this years collection. We would collect for another 3 weeks before closing the account for this year. Last year we had collected slightly over 2 lacs.

 

You might have noticed that we have not done any individual and one to one follow up this year. This is not because of our lack of initiative, but due to the instruction from Satya da. During a discussion with him regarding BHS collection- he had suggested not to follow up on collection. He was of the opinion that willing participants would contribute without being asked and the joy of giving diminishes and people might feel a bit stressed, if asked for help again and again.

 

I am attaching the list of participants and the amount contributed till now as a reference.

Brotherhood Scholarship Fund 2011

Dear All,

Time for brotherhood scholarship fund contributions has come once again. All of you have either in the last year or any of the previous years have contributed to this great cause or have expressed interest about this movement. Though I am sure you would be completely aware of all the facts, I am still attaching a small write up to refresh memories and help you to spread the news among fellow college mates.

Like all previous years this year too, we have kept the nominal contribution @ Rs 2400/- per person (for the 8^th successive year). However, would request all of you to consider volunteering a higher amount of contribution or rope in more number of contributors.

You can either transfer your contribution, thru net banking or drop AC payee cheque in ATM drop boxes. In case you want to send cheque by post, it can be sent to Gautam Debnath (address attached at the end of the mail.) Don't forget to write to us or SMS us after you do so.

I am attaching a link of a video- in which Satya da speaks about this initiative and appeal for participation. Feel free to share this with others.

We would update on the collection on a regular basis into our blog http://brotherhoodscholarship.blogspot.com/

I am sure, like all previous years; this year too we would take part in this movement with full enthusiasm and make it a success.

Brotherhood Scholarship Decision for future

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.

1. Infrastructural projects- College (Computers, books, and capital intensive item/ lab equipment that college requires)
2. Infrastructural projects- Hostel (Solar electricity, hot water, High speed internet connection, Gymnasium etc)
3. Individual assistance (Sponsor all expenses of 3-6 students, who are highly meritorious. 2 students from each year)
4. 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.

Avijit and Gautam
Mission accomplished - today I have handed over the 2 demand drafts totalling Rs. 203002 to RKM college Narendrapur. Unfortunately, Satyada was not available and I couldnot meet him when I reached @ 10.30 am - thought will catch him just after the prayer. Now given he is secretary, he has become more busy and I was told by Uttam da that he may be in a meeting of mission management. Anyway, congrats to you both as well - its a good job done through awesome teamwork. Individually we could have done so little but together we pulled so many peanuts that it became a very significant amount and that's where BHS is so unique and successful.
I will scan the receipt and send you the copy so that you can forward to everyone. Please write to Satya da - unlucky me, couldn't touch his feet today.
Feeling good now - the collection was a pain though!thanks to you both and everyone who contributed!
Cheers,

Subhashis
