Each of us can right a wrong and thus together as ONE we can RIGHT every WRONG. 'KARMAYUGA- The Right Every Wrong Generation', a nationwide campaign has been launched by iCONGO and CtrlS in partnership with UNV, VSO and SOAP, from New Delhi, with the core objective of bringing together and recognizing citizen volunteers/uncommon and unsung heroes , who through their focused action, are trying to lead the society towards a better tomorrow.
This initiative salutes and showcases the extra ordinary and inspiring work done by ordinary mortals, to Right a Wrong that they see around them. To be a part of the "Karmayuga Campaign" one need not join an NGO or campaign, nor give any money, clothes and newspapers to charity. All that one needs to do is do small simple acts with big commitment & involvement" to address wrongs in the society. The person can post his story on the official Karmayuga website www.righteverywrong.com , so that more people can follow his/her example and the tipping point reached, wherein everyone gets together to RIGHT every WRONG.
The top 20 stories will be awarded CtrlS- iCONGO Karmaveer Chakra, a medallion for proactive voluntary actions to Be The Change, instituted with the UN. All people/ children/ youth who participate shall be awarded the "CtrlS- iCONGO KARMAVEER- THE RIGHT every WRONG Generation Certificate" for being the change and for promoting Social Justice through her/ his action.
The movement conceptualized & initiated by iCONGO (International Confederation of NGOs and VSO India) the world's leading independent international development organization that works through volunteers to fight poverty in developing countries. The campaign is emphatically supported by renowned personalities including Mr. P Sridhar Reddy, Chairman and Managing Director of CtrlS, the largest tier IV datacenter in South Asia, and social activist and actress Gul Panag, (Founder of the volunteering movement SOAP).
On the occasion Ms. Meenu Chopra, Executive Founding Director, iCONGO said, "All our SIMPLE ACTIONS can make a BIG DIFFERENCE in bringing about a change in our world. We believe that a selfless citizen action can spark a mass movement where all citizens work "Together as One to Right every Wrong". The Matchbox symbolizes the idea of "Igniting Citizen Action". She further added, "Our mission in a nutshell is to encourage social justice through citizen action. We believe that if citizens start doing small, simple actions in our own space and time, then one day we will see that big difference in real sense and this shall benefit our future generations. Probably the most powerful healing for all socio-political evils is the creation of more and more citizen heroes". It appeals to all citizens to. Act NOW; DO SOMETHING to Right a WRONG around you and Belong to Karmayuga- The RIGHT every WRONG generation.
With the support of CtrlS, we will soon be coming out with The Karma Kurry books, which will be modeled on the same lines as Chicken Soup for the soul. The differentiator would be that we would have stories of "Karmaveer noble laureates" over the years plus short stories that we invite from people of people who/ which they know of and can tell the world.- added further.
Present at the event Ms. Gul Panag, Founder, Social Outreach and Accreditation Programme (SOAP) said, "The Karmayuga Campaign is in its true meaning 'Voluntary'. It is the most ethical concept ever put down to work. According to one's own capabilities and discretion, volunteers are expected to work in their desired area of interest in their own way."
