Bhaai Mukesh, Praveen and Jite, good enthusiasm, thats what we need
Bhai Vinod, thanks for your recommendations,
1. Your point regarding talking to students seperately is great, we will be doing that.
2. Books/trophy as prize is a good idea in city schools but the village youth will not get inspired by book/trophy as prize. Cash as prize can motivate them to take part. In villages cash prize motivates (as in wrestling).
3. Opening/promoting a small library facility is one of the points in my mind. We will discuss these points in greater detail on 25th Dec before finalising plans.

Navin Bhiya,, can we announce for an annual scholarship exam for the students of that school...
 
Thanks Navin Bhai for a great initiative.
Although I won't be able to join as just came back here in Saudi on 29 Nov.

Please do share the things from DJM with Jatland.

Regards.
 
Getting Organised for DJM

Dear Navin Bhai,

I have full confidence in your planning and execution, at the same time we should keep giving our inputs when ever necessary and possible.

Since it's long journey and the continuity is important. We should have one of us taking the minutes of the proceedings of meet on 25th Dec.

As I expect the discussions and brain stromimg session to be lively and participative, we

- will need atleast 2-3 mikes.
- we should have one of us overseeing and guiding the discussions (sort of moderator and Guide so that we stick to relevant issues). A very sensitive and important responsibilty.
- besides the topics of discusions let us try to outline the points of the discussion also, so that it is efficient and effective.

I hope you have considered my humble cash contribution. Pls advise how to pay.
 
Dear Gajesh Bhai,
Yes, we all have to give our inputs in order to make this effort successful. In fact I have been eagerly expecting suggestions/inputs to come from every one.
As regards the points suggested by you.
1. We will keep minutes of the meeting and a copy will be emailed to all and also posted here.
2. Mikes will be available. We will give individual speaker time to present his views if any. There after we will take up the decided points one by one for group discussion. Definitely we will appoint a moderator from us.
3. As for the points of discussion. I will be (in a day) circulating a mail containing the points we have already decided. Then, based on inputs we can add/change.
4. Your kind and prompt offer to contribute is encouraging. I have also requested other members to contribute sports items/cash for 27th event on 25th itself so that we are able to decide how best to use it. You could give your contribution on that very day i.e 25th.
Warm Regards
Navin Gulia

Dear Members,
The day for our meeting is drawing near. For a long time we have all been discussing (at times very passionately) about ways and means by which we can contribute towards the betterment of our community and society. When first time the idea about this meeting came up I immediately saw it as an opportunity for us all to get together and take the cause we have been talking about, forward.
The first stigma that we (Jats) have and we all accept it, is that Jats can never get together. Let us erase this stigma to begin with. Difference of opinion/views should not prevent us from getting together on a platform. Unity is strength. When we get together some good will definitely be done.
I found myself in a position to serve as a coordinator for this coming together and I have tried to do my best for the same. I will request and invite all members to be present on 25th Dec meeting and also for the 27th Village visit. The villagers are eager to welcome us (their enthusiasm and support is really encouraging).
Those who are not able to be present are also requested to contribute with their valuable inputs and views. The progress and outcome will be circulated to everyone through email.
25th Dec Meeting
Time: 10 am sharp
A few members (who wish to) can give a small few minute talk to present their thoughts. There after we will bring up the points for discussion and decision.
Points for discussion
Village Issues -
1. Improving the quality of education.
2. Encouraging Sports.
3. Health and hygiene.
4. Female foeticide.
5. Any other issues.
Organisational issues
1. How we can organize ourselves better?
2. How to mobilize funds, efforts and will for our future plans?
Tea/Snacks will be served during the course of the meeting.

Request members advice on this-
The families can also get together and interact in the school lawn. Lunch arrangement on individual payment wont be a problem. A small village troupe is willing to perform, I have kept them on stand by till the time I get recommendation/approval from the members for the same. If it is a sunny day we can enjoy the winter sun, if it is a foggy day we can have a bonfire.
VILLAGE VISIT –
27th Dec, Vill. Barhana, Dist- Jhajjar
45 min drive out of delhi.
10 am.
1. Welcome and Meeting with Sarpanch, panches and elders. We can discuss and get inputs.
2. A round of the village to see the work being done and the work that’s needed and to see for ourselves.
3. Desi lunch (courtesy villagers)- rice, wet khaand, daal, roti, Choorma, sarson ka saag aur bathue ka raayta.
4. Visit to school-
a) talk to students,
b) 100m race boys and 100m race girls, prize money 501Rs each sponsored by Bhai Sandeep Balyan.
c) Handball match between village barhana and dighal. They ve national players in their teams and it will be interesting to watch. Prize money 2100Rs. (Not yet sponsored.)
d) We as visitors can gift some sports items for the village or some books for the village library. The items/cash for purchasing them can be contributed on 25th Dec meeting.

I request everyone to join this effort and I also request all members to send me their acceptance with some contact detail. Some members have already very enthusiastically and encouragingly confirmed their participation – thanks for the same.
Everybody is requested to give their inputs. If some members (especially ladies) have some querries/apprehensions they can get in touch with me. Ladies will be present in good number. My wife Khushi will be there and in fact she has been and will be helping in making all arrangements. All ladies/girls are requested to be there.
Wishing and requesting your support. Let us make it a success.
Thanks to every one.

Dear Navin Bhai,

I think and feel you are stearing the plans of the meet in good direction.

If we talk numbers, how many families, individuals are expected to attend the planned events i.e 25 and 27th Dec.

I am still juggleing with my extremely tight programme to some how manage to attend 27th programme without the other faily members. Because I find 27th Dec event to be practical and applied. Well let us see.

Dec 25th programme appears to be very serious (just business). I may have taken wrong impression. Can we have sort of seqence of events with tentative time schedule. Little away from the main aim, just to have little variety. Me, Anupama (my patni) and our children Samarth and Sukriti can conduct few quick cross word / interesting Qn type games of interest to the kids and families. The winners will be presented with token appreciation. (from my side).Let me have your comments.

Gajesh bhai,

Point well raised!!

Actually, nothing should be 'serious' or 'business' initially. We just need to relate ourselves with our fellow community people; be it the 25th or 27th.

Once we get attached with 'them' wholeheartedly - only then we could be serious!

By the way, 25th ko bhi koshish karna, DJM attend karne ki!

Regards!
 
sure

Bhai shailender, i was about to give you a call yesterday fir kuchh kaam aa gayaa. Yes, I agree. I have already given 2,500 advance to the cultural troupe to perform that day on 25th, so they will be there. Their total fee to perform is 4,500.
Gajesh bhai, yes, every one can get involved in organising that day, bhabhiji and kids and others can organise games etc.
Food catering - Om Sweets - the famous eatery, thaali is available and can be ordered in required number. I tried it yesterday and found it good. Going for normal food catering will be difficult because we dont have fixed number of people and it will be difficult to organise.
Tea and snacks can be provided , no problem, there is an eatery in front of the school which will provide.
Please let me know your suggestions on food option given by me.
thanks
Regards

Navin Bhiya,

This stigma will be removed very soon from our community. We are going on right way...we are about to fulfill the main purpose of this site ..
 
Dear Navin,

Under the circumstances the option considered by you for food is very good one.

By what time you think we should conclude meet on 25th. And any idea about the numbers of expected attendees.
 
Dear Gajesh Bhai
1. I feel, 10am-12pm is fine for discussions and 12pm-2pm for interaction and lunch. Personally, i am very punctual about time but i have apprehensions that if people land up an hour or two late then it could affect our purpose. Do advise me about an appropriate begining time. Is 10am fine?
2. As I see, The numbers expected is atleast 25 and can easily go upto 50 and maybe a little over that.
3.Should we have this small cultural troupe perform. They are willing to perform for 4,500rs. I am only apprehensive that it should not take away time from our interaction. Kindly advise me on this.
Regards
Navin Gulia

Navin,
25 is good number... I think you guys should go ahead with troupe too:)... as far as money is concerned I guess people who talk about community upliftment here can spare some bucks for sport game in village you talked about (I'll do what I can, as you know)...

I had one question which I asked before too...do you guys have some coverage over young Jat crowd in DU campuses?...

PEACE.

Dear Navin Bhai,

The number should have been more but as rightly said Singhon ke nahi lehde.
(Lions do not have vey big clans)

As Vinod bhai has commented, performance by the troupe is a good idea.
May be we can have it toward the end of the meet so that we give justice to our main aim. But the finance part is also important, that you have to see if we can afford from the contributions pledged by us.

As regards time of starting the meet, I may not be right person to comment.
For me it is fine.
 
Dear Navin

As i said b4 that i m not the part of this meet and event but if u guys require any financial help let me know abt this and i dont know how much money u guys require and how much u already. I wish for success of this event which can get some Jats together.

Dear Phaugat Bhai/ Sir,
Thanks for your prompt offer for support.
Funds - we would be requiring about 8 to 10,000 for sports event and gifting sports items for starting a small sports cell and books for library. If a little additional amount is collected it can be used for sports items or for giving book prizes to toppers.
Though it is very encouraging to see so many members willing to contribute, I dont want to personally collect funds before their use is definitely defined. I will put up a detail account of money collected and spent on these events, here at jatland.
For this event you could contribute any small token amount, towards financing any of the above.
If at any point of time at later stage some genuine need for a cause arises, i will definitely put it up at this site.
Warm Regards
Navin Gulia
