Last mile connectivity in transportation and how #csr can help

In Delhi NCR, the last mile connectivity is a major challenge. Metro stations are far from homes, parking at the stations a challenge.

The result: more private cars on the road and more pollution.

How can #CSR help? In more ways than probably we ever imagined

1) Allocate areas to corporates

Every area in the city could be divided into zones. These zones could be given to corporates to manage last mile connectivity and the spends could be used against the 2 percent CSR commitment

2) Electric vehicle manufacturers take over

Lots of companies are manufacturing electric three wheelers. These companies could use a few vehicles and train a few drivers for free service around a determined radius. This again could be debited to the CSR commitment of the company

3) Promote bi-cycles

Allow bicycle companies to offer cycles on rent for full days against a deposit. And develop cycle tracks which are safe. This would also help add to the health of the citizens. The bicycles could be donated by the manufacturer against his #csr commitment

4) Promote specific #csr causes  and encourage companies to focus their funds

Every year, select the top most CSR causes that need the maximum support and encourage companies to invest in these causes. This will help is focusing CSR spends on select causes assuring sufficient investments that can ensure improvements

Do let me know if you have any other ideas that can help us use #csr to make our cities more commutable

Humanity is lost!

We lost ourselves when our quest was overtaken by greed. First, we wanted to learn - the earth, the oceans, the skies and then we wanted to own them. We invented toys of mass pleasure and mass pain. We got religion and creed. And we got lost in all these. We stopped being the wanderers who wanted to cherish nature. Enjoy it's gifts.  We started challenging the almighty the creator. We lost. We are dying as a race. Dying with the burden of civilization that offers only stress and agony of loans. Sitting in one position we are destroying our body the greatest gift of nature. We don't deserve to be called the smartest of all species. We are the most idiotic of all. We are dumb. AI is taking over. We will be lost in machines soon. They are our future. We cease to be us soon. God bless us!

Oblivious to oblivion

We humans are getting more and more engrossed in things that don't matter and replacing it with things that do matter. We keep track of every new I phone model but we have lost track of the losing greenbelt and nature. We are killing everything that is keeping us alive. But we are happy to live now selling our tomorrow's.  It's a sad state of affairs. We are looking externally for things which are within us. And things which are external and unnecessary we are taking it internally - like peer pressure and loud lifestyles. Where is the sense? Where is the moral compass that controls our actions? Wake up humanity...before we are erased from this planet. We need the planet the planet doesn't need us. Let's not forget that, ever.

2020: adios amigo!

The year 2020 was cruel to most of us, but it taught us many positive lessons. It made us appreciate and be grateful for all that we have, and realise what we really need in life to be happy. It was a lesson needed for the world to reboot and rethink of its priorities. It reminded us that we have been making the mistake of using people and loving things when it needs to be the other way round. It made us realise the importance of the people in our lives - even if they are the people who do mundane jobs in our households and whom we tend to take for granted. It also made us realise that our wealth can't protect us from the virus or a calamity, but our fellow humans can; the great work done by the medical fraternity, the workers who helped us stay alive during the lockdown, was truly commendable. No words can really describe how grateful the rest of us are for these courageous selfless servants of humanity. I hope we have learnt the lessons and learnt them well as a race, as life ten...
