Here is a link to a page which has links to the Dr.E. Sreedharan’s appeal in Hindi, Tamil & Malayalam. More languages are being worked on and will be added.
This FRNV page also has links to information to help citizens become informed voters.
You can print the PDF’s and distribute them offline as well.
Companies may want to provide copies to their distributors, suppliers etc.
If you stay in an apartment building or complex maybe the office in the building and security staff can distribute copies.
In my apartment complex, if people want copies of the appeal I have earmarked upto Rs 5000/= to provide them copies.
This is my little more than two cents towards this campaign
I am also going to request Eko the company I now mentor to consider asking their customer service points to distribute copies in Uttamnagar, West Delhi.
Google has made an effort with partners to enable voters to be more informed. Take a look.
I am on the electoral reforms team of the Foundation for Restoration of National Values( FRNV). The president is Dr. E. Sreedharan, the man behind the Delhi Metro. I admire his execution capability which is why I volunteered. As a modest first step an appeal to the general secretaries of 26 political parties and an appeal to voters was sent By Dr. Sreedharan. To read these appeals go here.
While this may take time if voters who demand good governance become a large votebank then good governance will happen.
This is a website powered by Pinstorm ( Mahesh Murthy, Seed Fund) for the cellular company Idea.
I thought it was very well executed.
To try it I voted for an idea and posted an idea.
I am intrigued by the possibilities of actual reliable online voting on serious issues.
I got the email below I think from Slide Share. It could be an April Fools joke but not being very tech savvy I did not know what I am supposed to do. I have a slide share presentation on Financial inclusion in India that I would like a lot of people to browse but I do not know if this is the one being browsed or not. Help from tech savvy folk appreciated. This is probably also a good way for startups such as Slide Share to get people to write about them. Comments.

Hi sbhargav1,
We’ve noticed that your slideshow on SlideShare has been getting a LOT of views in the last 24 hours. Great job … you must be doing something right. 
Why don’t you tweet or blog this? Use the hashtag #bestofslideshare so we can track the conversation.
Congratulations,
-SlideShare Team
I just saw Shashank’s post on a political startup. Prior to doing a startup potential founders often brainstorm. If there are some people seriously interested in brainstorming on this idea in Delhi at my home in RK Puram please contact me.
Rahul has taken a project that I had done as a fellow at Stanford and scaled it. He has just got a grant from Ford Foundation for $250,000 and is looking for a CEO as described here.
If you know anyone who may fit the bill please ask them to contact Rahul directly.
At some point maybe VW can have a separate Venture Talent and Venture Jobs tab for social entrepreneurs. This would be useful only if there are no other blogs in India which already address this.
This is a company started by a bunch of ex- PayPal people which could be useful for startups to get themselves noticed and get feedback.
I just joined and put some information about myself and Eko.
At Eko we intend to play around with the site and see if it proves to be useful.
Easy to do since its free.
We are finally serving real customers. We still have a lot of work to do to meet our customer delight goal and we need a lot of support from banks, telecom operators and regulators.
Anyone who wants to try our service please do that. All comments specially suggestions for improvement are most welcome.

Our use of restricted stock to get advisors/talent has worked very well.
Plans at Eko are aggressively on track and we have had some exciting developments.
We will be closing our early employee restricted stock offering by Jan 31, 2008.
It is already closed for other categories such as advisors.
We have also worked on a compensation policy for FY 2008-09 to attract and retain the best talent where we will not be able to offer restricted stock.
If you are interested in joining the Eko team please check out the open positions on our website.
Subject: Go to Market
Going to Market is always a big event for a startup and I am glad to report that we went live today at our pilot location with real money and a real bank. For about a month we will be controlled and will go into full pilot only after that.
I will let VW readers know when we go into full pilot so that some in Delhi NCR may want to try the service.
I had also promised an update on our inner circle efforts where we would use stock to get advisors and build our team. That has gone exceptionally well as can be seen by visiting our website.
All the best to all of you for the holiday season and best wishes for 2008.
