Very Old mail from 2010 February. Just to keep my ideas together I am placing them at one place. Hoardings is not a worthy idea any more. but small towns is the point, and this mail provides some insight.
Dear friend,
Congratulations for your role in second freedom struggle. By the next general/midterm elections we(loksatta party) must become a formidable force in state politics.
As you know, the biggest weak point of Loksatta is lack of broadcast Media to take Loksatta ideology into rural places. Even if idelogy is broadcast, there should be a mechanism to reinforce people's faith on Loksatta that it can win. One of the foremost issues is, when they watch some videos of Loksatta or Dr JP in a TV program, people get the impression that Loksatta is a party of hyderabad since they know no one around themselves who is a lokatta member.
So The issue is two fold.
1. Propaganda
2. Penetration
With socially irresponsible electronic and print media, it could prove very difficult for loksatta to do propaganda as well as penetrate into people.
Another thing is about people's psychology. For 62 years successive governments continuously failed people and hence they dont believe in any credible change due to any elections. So, they are habituated to atleat find some short term benefits from political parties in the form of subsidies/free money/free goods and so on.
Considering all this..... We have to project atleast one policy that would radically impress them. We have to do a massive propaganda of such a golden goose. And we should make people feel local presence of Loksatta.
Health care, Education.... and all other amenities are needed, but only after a profession that can feed the stomachs of people and their loved ones.
Loksatta promises just that......
50 Lakh New Jobs each worth Rs 5000-10000 a month. But the better aspect of it is.... You dont have to leave your home village for the job. And it gets even better when these jobs bring schools, colleges, hospitals and small scale industries to their native villages.
What else can be such a golden Project than 1250 new future towns? This is Roadmap for Loksatta's Victory in the next general or Midterm elections whichever comes first.
Having a policy that will transform whole andhra pradesh is not enough, we have to sell it to its beneficiaries, only then we can get votes to fulfill this promise.
And What better medium is there than a huge hoarding in each of these 1250 future towns explaining people about Loksatta's desire to transform their village into a town? explaining Loksatta's desire to create 5000 jobs, schools, colleges, agri clinics, small scale industries, parks, Cold Storages, Ware housess, Counseling centres... etc in their very village.
What can be better boon for people than live a life of self-respect in their own very village??????????
Let us take this Promise of Loksatta into people very deeply by setting up hoardings every where. what do you say?
What can you do in all this?
In each district of AP, Loksatta plans to develop around 30-60 new future towns. So, if we join hands with other people(NRIs) of the district, arranging these hoardings wont be very difficult. I feel around 3 people can adopt the work of one future town hoarding. Please consider taking part in the mission. Once we find enough people joining the mission, we could actually transfer necessary resources to Loksatta Party sothat they can start this project.
Each hoarding may contain information such as
1250 చిన్న పట్టణాల పథకం క్రింద మన గ్రామాన్ని పట్టణంగా మార్చడానికి లోక్ సత్తా పార్టీ ఉద్యమిస్తుంది.
అంటే మన ఊరులోనే
->పెద్ద ప్రభుత్వ ఆసుపత్రి
->నాణ్యమైన పాఠశాల, కాలేజి
->నాణ్యమైన రోడ్లు, బస్సు- రైలు వసతులు
->ఆగ్రిక్లినిక్, శీతల గిడ్డంగులు
->లఘు పరిశ్రమల స్థాపన
->పార్కు
->చుట్టు ప్రక్కల గ్రామాలన్నీ వ్యాపారం కోసం మన వద్దకే రావడం వల్ల వ్యాపార అభివృద్ధి
->తద్వారా సుమారు 5000 కొత్త ఉద్యోగాలు
Ofcourse there can be different content for different villages depending on requirements of those towns.
These hoardings will act as permanent broadcast channels for us. When we want, we can highlight other policies of Loksatta on the same hoardings.
Thank you very much for reading such a long mail.
Please reply me if you want to take part in the mission to starleader.org@gmail.com .
Sincerely Loksatta Servant,
vinod Sriperumbuduru.
Each hoarding costs around 10Rs to 50Rs per sqft per month, so for 20x10=200sqft, it will be 2000 to 10000 per month! to place 1000 hoardings we will need 1cr every month!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCheck out hoarding's cost, just for rough estimates,
