About Srijan Foundation

After months of waiting and conceptualising ideas for implementation of Srijan Foundation's website, it finally occurred to me to take a baby-step forward and setup this Blog.

For months on end this project has been getting pushed aside, as the bread-and-butter projects of our software services company - Srijan Technologies - which funds Srijan Foundation, always get higher priority. So here we have a simple, yet, as communicative a Blog, instead of a complex and ambitious, feature rich website implemented in one of the Open Source CMS, such as Plone/Zope, Typo3 or Drupal.

Now for some real action and real postings of the good work that we have been doing at Srijan Foundation, which is a Trust, waiting to be registered more than 4 weeks into submission of the application. We refused to pay bribe - hence the wait - else we were told it would be a 1 week process. I've actually been part of the registeration of a Trust with some other people earlier, whose approval came in 7 days flat. We paid bribe that time. That social Trust never got off the ground with its planned projects.

So if the approval, or some communication, does not reach us in another 2 weeks, we're going to be filing an application under the RTI. I'm almost looking forward to not receiving any response from them.

What a good sign it would be - our first RTI application would be for forming Srijan Foundation Trust.
