#IndiaPositiveCitizen
One Action. Once a Week. Every Week.
Building a great Nation, one #IndiaPositive action at a time
A nation of a billion+ needs a billion people nurturing it with mindful actions.
The book offers powerful yet highly actionable ideas on how every Indian – from a child to a senior citizen - can actively and joyously participate in nation building.
Gender, age, education, socio economic status does not matter. You don’t even have to be within the geographical borders of India. You can be anywhere on the planet and contribute towards making a positive difference in India.
From food to environment to water to civic issues to making #SwachhBharat and many more aspects where we can make a difference even as we go about our daily lives.
Stories of unsung heroes from across India will leave you enormously inspired.
None of them had huge resources. What they did have was the compassion to help those around them and the passion to pursue their vision.
Citizens have shared their action ideas. The youngest contributor to the book is 7.5 years old. The oldest is 104 years.
The book is very interactive. Savitha Rao invites you to read, reflect and write your ideas in the book and bring them to life with action.
Inspire India with your actions. Get inspired by the actions of fellow citizens.
A soldier at the border is as much a citizen as the rest of us. The freedom we enjoy is the result of efforts of millions of soldiers over decades to keep India free and safe. As civilian citizens we have responsibilities as much as rights.
Each person has the power to make the world a better place. With small actions done consistently we can make India a kinder, happier and more sustainable nation.
