Solution to your civic problems is just a mouse click away

Getting a solution or a suggestion for a civic issue will not require visiting the authorities several times anymore as an innovation by BS Vohra will ensure this doesn't happen. After seeing the immense impact of Internet, this gentleman has started a blog for people to get easy solutions of their civic problems.
This new portal, http://www.rwabhagidari.blogspot.com/, is a common platform where RWAs of Delhi East District can interact and share problems being faced by them, as well as contribute their suggestions, ideas, opinions and a lot more. Though it's a private blog, it can be a link between RWAs and the Bhagidari cell of Delhi Government.
"I have been attending RWA meetings a very long time and whenever I attended them, I saw that only prominent members of the association got a chance to speak and many members don't get an opportunity either due to lack of time or due to any other reason. This made me think of doing something so that I can create a network among RWAs across the city and civic authorities and they can share their suggestions, grievances or can seek for suitable advice sitting at home," said BS Vohra, an active member of Krishna Nagar Welfare Society.
This blog was launched on Jan 1, 2010.
The blog has been designed in a user friendly manner so that even a novice doesn't have to struggle hard while operating it. One just needs to subscribe to this new portal and he will start receiving latest updates of RWA activities.
The blog is not restricted only for RWA members or media and authority but any residents can access it. The blog has many interesting parts, which can be summed up as follows:
Search RWA bhagidari blog: The blog has this facility for people wherein whoever wants to search for any specific RWA of east Delhi area doesn't need to go through the entire pages to search for it. Only a pin code of that area is required to be mentioned in the column provided and then the entire list of RWAs that fall in that specific area will appear on the screen instantly. The list of the entire east district RWA members with their names and addresses are maintained according to their pin codes.
Contributors: People can discuss about civic issues and can also seek suggestions. To make it informative people can also provide information or awareness messages which they think can be beneficial for the people. Two representatives from various RWAs can also upload the videos, photos and details about any event or complaints regarding any issue.
Visitors' map: Visitors from any part of the world can be seen here. The red indicators on the world map signify the response that the blog receives from which part of the world.
Blog archives: The updates by the blog are shown under this icon. Anybody can click on this icon and can easily view all the updates by the people.
The blog has received more than 1500 hits from all over the world after its launch, which is again a commendable thing.
BS Vohra is now also trying his best to make this blog popular among the civic authorities so that they can come to know more about the civic
problems in the respective areas.

I travelled from NIRMAN TO CP on metro around 3pm.
ReplyDeleteThe train was over croweded as expected. BUT WHAT WAS NOT EXPECTED followed.
The seats reserved for ladies and senior citizens were occupied by young and educated persons. EVEN ON REQUEST, no body was prepared to vacate the seats.
It is high time some volunteers are posted or METRO DEPUTES SOME STAFF FOR SAY A MONTH.
HOW to educate ourselves is the main issue.
WHAT IS YOUR TAKE?
