Beggars are avoided and respected in Chennai
Chennai Corporation is calling to arrest beggars in Chennai.
There was a recent news (couple of months back) that beggars were arrested and they were released very soon.
My question is - what would police do by arresting these beggars? Most of the beggars are helpless. I am thinking - Beggars are of three categories in Chennai. In fact, everywhere...
1) Physically and/or Mentally Handicapped and do not have a way of doing any work or do not have reasoning. Complete helpless.
2) Partially handicapped - like one leg is gone for example.
3) Completely lazy, homeless and ran-away-cases from their hometown.
First category is the one should be helped and placed in homes for homeless.
Other two categories should not be helped at all.
In Chennai, all the three categories are available. There are some organizations and individuals who help these beggars and homeless people. All said, If you help the second and third categories, it is not healthy at all for Chennai - that guy would become more and more lazy.
I support helping the first category, but not the second and third category.
Instead, work on getting a home and put them in homes for homeless. Give them employment and give them food only when they work! That will give self respect and dignity for them. Even if you don't have a leg or a hand, anyone should learn to live by himself or herself.
We cannot feed them all the time and throughout their life. Neither arresting the beggars would help.
We used donate to Akshaya Trust two years back, but now we could not due to lack of human resources for new chennai foundation. On those days, I asked Akshaya Trust Krishnan and I was enquiring about whom does he feed daily. He replied - he feeds only the first category. Good Stuff...I appreciate his efforts, also he said he is aiming towards building a home. I am not sure, what is the status on it currently. If he is still working on his long-term aim, I am sure he is collecting funds for it. Need to contact Akshaya Trust Krishnan and ask about it. If you want to contact Akshaya Krishnan -

Is building an orphange Good practice or bad?
Traditionally in India, orphans were accommodated by the extended family. But in western part of the world people built orphanages. The characteristics of orphanages for the last two hundred years have been: • insufficient numbers of staff to meet the physical and psychological needs of the children; • a failure to teach the children how to relate to adults of both sexes, and in doing so learn how to be a woman or a man; • a failure to teach them how to build relationships of their own; • lack of planning of the children’s’ work futures. In Europe, girl babies are put into orphanages, grow up without relationships with boys and men, come out at sixteen, get pregnant . . . and put their girl baby back into the orphanage.
People seem to love building orphanages. The idea makes a nice mental picture – the saintly founders, surrounded by the loving children who are only alive because of them, all in a building that is a concrete proof of their benevolence. But this picture is about the egos of the builders, not what is best for children.
Today, AIDS has brought a large number of orphans. How should they be cared for? The money that can build an orphanage can also be spent on fostering the babies with their grannies and paying an allowance. If there are no grannies, aunties or big sisters, they can be fostered with non-related families. If land tenure is closed to outsiders, then older orphans will do better in towns, where they can be found a Master or Mistress and apprenticed to a trade, and ideally fostered with the Mistress’s or Master’s family.

New Chennai - Future Projects
New Chennai Future Projects:
One of our main current projects is – Free Library Network project in and around Chennai. This is a huge project and we have launched our first library in January 2006.
All of our projects fall under two categories. One is Helping Under-privileged Chennai and another is helping average Chennai to excel. Please find our current and future projects listed below.
Literate Chennai Project:
I believe one person is considered as literate, if he/she is able to read/write Tamil. In addition to this if he/she is able to read/write English too, that is great. We will work towards only the first point. Chennai current literacy rate is 79%. While moving towards perfection, we will have to make it 100% literacy. More awareness we have, more we can achieve. As it is universally known, Knowledge is Power. Whenever we think of improving a city, I think first thing we should do is increase the literacy rate. As a next step, increase the number of successful entrepreneurs. That apart, in order to work out 100% literacy rate, we will have to identify, whom we will have to target. The target segments of people for beneficiary are children, youth, men women, senior citizens.
I personally know one of my relatives, who have sent two sons to work, terminating their school studies, while they were performing well in studies.
I would start thinking from why would a parent not send a child to school or why a child would not be interested in coming to school.1) Ignorance - Many parents are not aware of the importance of education for children and a reading habit of a child.2) Less Motivation - Due to the ignorance, they feel “what is the use of the education?!”. Parents and children are less motivated about education.3) Poverty - Since there is not much to feed all of the family members, it is a compulsion to create more earning hands to feed all the mouths. So children are sent to work.There might be much more, but let us restrict with these points for our focus.
In addition to the children and youth, we will have to educate the adults too, for more awareness, so that we can move forward together.
Educating Women is the most important part in this project. For every society, every woman’s education is very important. If we educate a woman, we educate a family.
Clean and Green Chennai Project:
Though there are lot of measures by the corporation for cleanliness, we can still see places in Chennai as not neat. In order for us to make, Chennai as a best tourist destination, first of all it has to be neat. It also gives a good feel for us to live in the neat place. Singapore was not a great country until an initiative was taken.
This project is getting student power and youth to clean up.
Healthy Chennai Project:
For every person, health is the prime thing anybody should take care of. There are lot of people in Chennai, who are inaccessible to even basic medical facilities. This project is to give at least the basic facility. Though, there is “Rajaji government hospital” and other primary health centers, there is a need for more hospitals like Aravind Hospital – Free hospital section. It is amazing that somebody gives free medical care and surgery. As a project under “Made in Chennai”, we would like to open couple of hospitals in and around Chennai, for free section of these private hospitals. In addition to the free private hospital sections, there will be health camps in all the schools, colleges and villages in and around Chennai.
Industrial Chennai Project:
You could see more details in http://www.madeinchennai.com/. More and more entrepreneurs have to be created and appreciated for Chennai. As a project under – “Made in Chennai”, couple of Entrepreneurial development centers has to be opened to help the people of Chennai for jobs and business consultancy.
Calling Chennai Project:
This project is basically similar to “Pravasi Divas” of our India. Basically bringing many NRIs and other NRMs to Chennai for investment and improving Chennai. New Chennai will be a liason between the administrative officers who could do presentation about Chennai to the NRIs for any investment they could think of. Basically we need to arrange and organize a meeting and high tea between these two parties for interests in Chennai. We need to contact MADITSSIA(Chennai District Tiny and Small Scale Industries Association), CII(Confederation of Indian Industry) and all registered clubs like Rotract etc., for this to frucitify. This is just a gist, but lot of things to do on this. We need to have newchennai.org to be really popular among the online community, so that it reaches the appropriate persons. For now we can do some ground works like - bringing together an online community in newchennai.org.
E-Governance Project:
All the governance, administrative and people services has to be made e-enabled. Everything should be accessible from web and anywhere from the world for ease of people. Take for example, Chandrababu Naidu from Hyderabad, he had outsourced his government’s web administrative and people services – “eSeva” in web, to couple of private software organizations. Say – Electricity bills, tax services, phone bill services etc.,
Zero-Corruption Project:
The details of the project will be documented in the requirements and project plan document.
100% Employed Chennai Project:
As a part of “Made in Chennai”, we will be opening job consultancies in and around Chennai for helping students, job-seekers for getting jobs. This effort is for connecting the employers and potential employees in Chennai.
Population Controlled Chennai Project:
Population reduction campaigns will be created as an effort for this project.
Organized Traffic Chennai Project:
Better road design and strict traffic/parking measures and rules have to be initiated and controlled accordingly.
NO to AIDS Chennai Project:
AIDS campaign and adult education is necessary in Chennai. This project will deal with the same.
NO to Hunger Project:
This is part of helping under-privileged Chennai of New Chennai. Every man and woman should get 3 times food and this is towards poverty alleviation.
Tourist Destination Chennai Project:
Various marketing and tourism coordination efforts have to be initiated. As a part of “Made in Chennai” project, there will be a tourism agent opened in Chennai for attracting more tourists.
Zero Crime Chennai Project:
This will be one of the efforts to help the police department of Chennai for reducing crime rate. More and more rowdies are cropping up in Chennai, which has to be reduced. Better explanation can be found in the requirements and project plan documents of this project.
Righteous Path Chennai Project:
There are various balances, every man has to be make – mental, physical, career-personal life and at last spiritual balance. Nobles ideas and thoughts has to be sowed in youth and children’s mind.
International Infrastructure Chennai Project:
For many businesses to smoothly function, international infrastructure has to be built.
Helping Under-privileged Chennai Project:
This project is for helping the destitute and very poor – below poverty people of Chennai for upliftment.
We believe these are the core problems Chennai has and we are dreaming and planning to correct the same. We have thought through this much only right now. If we get more thoughts, we will add up projects as and when needed.
If you have any more thoughts or if you want to advice or comment something, please feel free to send a mail to newchennai@gmail.com.
One of our main current projects is – Free Library Network project in and around Chennai. This is a huge project and we have launched our first library in January 2006.

New Chennai - Future Projects
New Chennai Future Projects:
One of our main current projects is – Free Library Network project in and around Chennai. This is a huge project and we have launched our first library in January 2006.
All of our projects fall under two categories. One is Helping Under-privileged Chennai and another is helping average Chennai to excel. Please find our current and future projects listed below.
Literate Chennai Project:
I believe one person is considered as literate, if he/she is able to read/write Tamil. In addition to this if he/she is able to read/write English too, that is great. We will work towards only the first point. Chennai current literacy rate is 79%. While moving towards perfection, we will have to make it 100% literacy. More awareness we have, more we can achieve. As it is universally known, Knowledge is Power. Whenever we think of improving a city, I think first thing we should do is increase the literacy rate. As a next step, increase the number of successful entrepreneurs. That apart, in order to work out 100% literacy rate, we will have to identify, whom we will have to target. The target segments of people for beneficiary are children, youth, men women, senior citizens.
I personally know one of my relatives, who have sent two sons to work, terminating their school studies, while they were performing well in studies.
I would start thinking from why would a parent not send a child to school or why a child would not be interested in coming to school.1) Ignorance - Many parents are not aware of the importance of education for children and a reading habit of a child.2) Less Motivation - Due to the ignorance, they feel “what is the use of the education?!”. Parents and children are less motivated about education.3) Poverty - Since there is not much to feed all of the family members, it is a compulsion to create more earning hands to feed all the mouths. So children are sent to work.There might be much more, but let us restrict with these points for our focus.
In addition to the children and youth, we will have to educate the adults too, for more awareness, so that we can move forward together.
Educating Women is the most important part in this project. For every society, every woman’s education is very important. If we educate a woman, we educate a family.
Clean and Green Chennai Project:
Though there are lot of measures by the corporation for cleanliness, we can still see places in Chennai as not neat. In order for us to make, Chennai as a best tourist destination, first of all it has to be neat. It also gives a good feel for us to live in the neat place. Singapore was not a great country until an initiative was taken.
This project is getting student power and youth to clean up.
Healthy Chennai Project:
For every person, health is the prime thing anybody should take care of. There are lot of people in Chennai, who are inaccessible to even basic medical facilities. This project is to give at least the basic facility. Though, there is “Rajaji government hospital” and other primary health centers, there is a need for more hospitals like Aravind Hospital – Free hospital section. It is amazing that somebody gives free medical care and surgery. As a project under “Made in Chennai”, we would like to open couple of hospitals in and around Chennai, for free section of these private hospitals. In addition to the free private hospital sections, there will be health camps in all the schools, colleges and villages in and around Chennai.
Industrial Chennai Project:
You could see more details in http://www.madeinchennai.com/. More and more entrepreneurs have to be created and appreciated for Chennai. As a project under – “Made in Chennai”, couple of Entrepreneurial development centers has to be opened to help the people of Chennai for jobs and business consultancy.
Calling Chennai Project:
This project is basically similar to “Pravasi Divas” of our India. Basically bringing many NRIs and other NRMs to Chennai for investment and improving Chennai. New Chennai will be a liason between the administrative officers who could do presentation about Chennai to the NRIs for any investment they could think of. Basically we need to arrange and organize a meeting and high tea between these two parties for interests in Chennai. We need to contact MADITSSIA(Chennai District Tiny and Small Scale Industries Association), CII(Confederation of Indian Industry) and all registered clubs like Rotract etc., for this to frucitify. This is just a gist, but lot of things to do on this. We need to have newchennai.org to be really popular among the online community, so that it reaches the appropriate persons. For now we can do some ground works like - bringing together an online community in newchennai.org.
E-Governance Project:
All the governance, administrative and people services has to be made e-enabled. Everything should be accessible from web and anywhere from the world for ease of people. Take for example, Chandrababu Naidu from Hyderabad, he had outsourced his government’s web administrative and people services – “eSeva” in web, to couple of private software organizations. Say – Electricity bills, tax services, phone bill services etc.,
Zero-Corruption Project:
The details of the project will be documented in the requirements and project plan document.
