Five Things That NRIs Can Do

FDRI believes that we can contribute not just monetarily, but also through the richness of our experiences, ideas, actions and influence. FDRI initiates and participates in in-depth awareness campaigns. The following represent some of the ways in which NRIs can support this movement


  1. Institutional support: There are several NRI non-profit organizations that are interested in India. We should be able to use our contacts within these institutions to convince them of the need for their active, meaningful participation in developing a broad coalition working for governance reforms.
  2. Taking the message of governance reforms to our contacts in India, increasing their awareness and soliciting their support and participation in this movement; Identifying like-minded individuals and institutions that can contribute to this movement. We all have contacts that can volunteer their time, ideas, and other resources to make this movement successful.
  3. Financial support and support-in-kind.
  4. Work with like-minded organizations and organize seminars on relevant topics to increase our understanding of the issues
  5. Research and analysis: Comparative study, adaptation of best practices, high quality research and analysis on democratic issues all over the world, and informed advocacy of best suited models for application in India.
  6. Relentlessly promote positive and exhilarating “can do”,  “just do it” and “let us roll,” type attitude in India to promote self and societal confidence.

 
There is an enormous amount of creative and organizational talent that can use the media effectively to raise awareness of these issues.
