Founder
has seen how Wally Olins thought much deeper
on the concept of Identity. Wally was Guru
of Corporate Identity. So when the founder
thought of a specialised portal on corporates
in 2010, he named it as CSRidentity.com
and that time founder thought CSR was Corporate
Sustainability & Reputation.
Founder
Sanjay Kumud Moreshwar Bapat's life changed
after an almost fatal accident on 28.8.2013.
Now CSR is Conscience Sustainability Reputation
Founder
worked with Wally's India partner organisation,
Sista's Worldcom. In 1999, Bobby Sista and
Mahindra Group Company took stake in IndianNGOs.com,
founder's first Social Enterprise. Now CSRidentity.com
has IndianNGOs.com
Dot com because founder is a Social Entrepreneur
and is one of the 4000 odd Ashoka Fellows
in 92 countries who run NGOs or social enterprises.
He is founder trustee of NGO which has a
unique name Developed Nation Network Trust
because he thinks that each nation must
be a Developed Nation and not just an economically
prosperous nation.
He did Engineering & MBA but considers
himself as a one of the many drivers on
digital social bridge CSRidentity.com and
networking NGOs
We
want Each Country to be a Developed Nation
If
any country wants to be a developed nation,
then each village, city, metro of that country
should not only be economically prosperous but
it should have good physical infrastructure
& people must take care of physical, mental
health & climate health.
We had portals on 638387 villages in India and
started developed nation and had send warli
paintings to that time's and former presidents
of India, Prime Ministers of India, CMs &
Governors of each state / UT of India, some
CSR Heads of companies and spiritual guru's
and some celebrities in India.
The
first painting had ideas of founder Sanjay Kumud
Moreshwar Bapat but Warli community in Jowhar
in that time's Thane District (Now Jowhar is
part of Palghar District).
When
it was given to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, in a minute
he told the founder to add people doing meditation
because that is the need of a developed nation.
What he meant was that People of the nation
must care of themself, the communities of their
location & nature. Afterall each country
is an interation of its cities & villages.
Amitabh Bachchan wrote about his concept of
a developed nation. (Image shared below)
Former
President & scientist, Dr Abdul Kalam just
talked on mobile with the founder but in his
voice came clarity that integration of culture
& science is needed because science is helping
world move ahead fast but for sustainable future,
culture in terms of attitude of humanity must
not expire.
This
was way back but it took time for self sustainability
and when it was about to be shared in a new
version, founder had an almost fatal accident
on 28.08.2013.
But
now we are ready to share not just villages
in India and not just 193 UN Member countries
& 2 SARs or isaldns and non UN member countries,
rivers, oceans, continents, sun, moon, planets,
world & universe but about 250000 NGOs working
on various social issues, 50000 corporates,
some funding agencies, philanthropists, celebrities
and more importantly scientists who are global
philanthropists.
And
how can we forget the clear fact that scientists
are global philanthropists. And patent came
much later than theories of relativity, lights
...but what scientists gave the world is far
higher than a few million dollars.
And founder worked in advertising & PR.
So he knows Artificial Intelligence may takeaway
many jobs of people. But robots are not replacement
of humans. They dont marry, have parents &
children or friends or enemies. They are managed
or governed by people. And this common man has
responsibility to make world a better place.
So she / he can donate $20 or its equivalent
to social doctors of their country or to global
example Thane, which will have a digital knowledge
Bank helping people in the world not only know
basics in terms of moon, sun, brain, eyes but
also basic information of various diseases humans
get. And Thane will take a step ahead to share
with the world, the age old technique of yog
(but limiting to respiration technique).
Lucky
to meet rich as well as below the poverty line
Founder
is lucky that in his life, he met or talked
to or written to many people across India
and few ones outside India.
Nandan
Nilekani of took his views on social sector
and NGOs for his book "Imagining India"
He had the fortune of working with Bobby Sista
who took him as part of a team led by Wally
Olins to meet Ratan Tata for Identity of Tata
Group. Again, as part of Sista's worldcom,
he was part of a team which did research of
social entrepreneurs in India and meet the
judging panel which had industry greats like
Keshub Mahindra (M&M) , Deepak Parekh
(HDFC) , Uday Kotak (Kotak Mahindra) , Simone
Tata, Parvinder Singh (Ranbaxy) ....
He
met Rajan Datar of Datar Cancer Genetics,
which is rare company to tell you cancer in
advance through blood test.
Founder
invested good time with the students in about
50 municipal schools in Mumbai, Thane, Delhi
and other areas in India. Plus below the poverty
line nationals in Palu, Jowhar and rural areas
of Thane.
650
000 villages
We had a portal for 638387 villages of India
in 2001.With time, the number of villages have
increased and we share about 650000 villages
in India.
Manytimes,
the name of the village is same but its district
location is different. At times, village names
are seen as just numbers.
Villages
are shared alphabetically (namewise)
because it is easy for visitors. And next to
the village we share the name of the district
where the village exists. And next to that is
the State / UT.
We
want villages & districts of India to be
role models for all villages, countries &
countries of the world. Yes, there can be addicts
or thieves or naxalites in some districts of
India or anywhere in the world. But no body
is born rich or poor, yes, they are born in
rich families or poor families. Which means
right from birth, your background starts playing.
Circumstances makes poor person a thief. And
greed makes a rich person thief by stealing
what someone has done.
If
a person steals Rs 100/- or $10 from another
person, police immediately caught that person.
But if a company steals a patent or copies code
of how to make a product from its competitors
and invets lot of money in the product they
make, then the company is not called a thief
unless it is proven that the formula is stolen
from competing company.
We
cant do anything related to it because that
is the responsibility of government of that
country which deputes related authority (soldier,
court, police ...) to take the right decision
and implement it.
We
want NGOs in districts and villages in India
to make NGO Shopping Malls where they either
sale or market products or services by communities
or market products made by larger companies
to the villagers so that villages can get what
they get in cities but live in a peaceful zone
which is usually traffic free (not much traffic
in villages). And maybe if there are factories
in villages, then villagers can ensure that
the factory does not pollute the water or atmosphere
in that area but at the same time, offer the
factory workers products they get in cities.
That is the beauty of NGO Shopping Malls.
People
want to know social doctors in their villages.
It is difficult to know villagewise NGOs. So
we share them districtwise. And that is why
we share name of the district next to the village.
When a district is bifurcated, most of the NGOs
work both the bifurcated districts, so it is
in a way right.
While
we share NGOs districtwise, we will share the
issues about 200000 NGOs are working in, next
to the NGO during 2025-26.
And
more importantly, we have started sharing NGO
Malls where the NGOs not jut makret products
made by communities they serve but can also
help corporates which find it economically difficult
to market products in small villages with a
population of 100 of even 500.
