Greenathon, A success though a failure.

With NDTV and Toyota launching Greenathon, it's a huge event, with a country wide scale. They promise to light up 67 villages across India. With a huge Star Cast following every half an hour or so, that event is going to create the much needed awareness for the general public. Iam now feeling to contribute some how or the other to the environment, so do many of my peers would have been feeling after watching the cause. I’m pretty sure that out of 100 crore population of India, the educated youth will be greatly inspired and will do all which is possible to save out Mother Earth.

It's notable that with just 2.4 crore and plus collected they are in fact going to light up 67 villages which have never seen electricity through out their existence. Government could indeed take a step forward and start allocating funds to organization like these, so that at least they could do the needful enough for the society. I really feel that some where around there is a India(I mean we Indians) which care about the fellow Indian's. The event is an example of the same.

Though i felt pity that the supporter of this cause is Toyota and Vodafone, which is in fact a foreign organization. It's true that Indian companies are profit making companies. They tend to see profit in each and every cause. Where are our big Indian bullies, they must be certainly hiding some where. When there is 7.5 crore rupees to be invested in Andrew Flintoff and Pietersen for the Great Cricket Tamasha, why isn’t there money for a great environmental cause like these. I feel out of 1000 odd listed companies in Sensex if every company donates 1 lakh rupee as a donation toward special activity then we can certainly light 320 villages with no Governmental Aid. Our Government has failed miserably over the past 63  years. To all Grand pa's and Grand ma's in politics, do some thing or else in future there will not be a place for you in The Great Indian Democracy..
