Exemplary effort

Three outstanding projects taken up by youth NGOs and students awarded 'Youth Excellence Award' at the Youth Assembly of India in Hyderabad

I have always believed that it is best if citizens directly took up activities that are normally left to the govt to manage. When it has been acknowledged at the highest level that one 10% of what is released from the top reaches the bottom, govt action is just an excuse for enrichment of the middle men.

I strongly urge more individuals to start social activities based NGOs and get registered so that any donations are exempt from tax. This way the route that usually goes from citizen tax to govt aid can be shortened to citizen aid, and the chances of corruption are also minimal.

Hats off to Abhyasa Residential Public School for initiating such a competition to encourage social thought among the youth. Hopefully more organisations will take the lead. From a govt side, as PM I can assure you that such organisations will get all help that can be extended.
