Inspiration

Let new India arise-let her arise out of the peasants\' cottage, grasping the plough; out of the huts of fisherman, the cobbler, and the sweeper. Let her spring from the grocer\'s shop, from the oven of the fritter-seller. Let her emanate from the factory, from marts and markets. Let her emerge from groves and forests, from hills and mountains. -Swami Vivekananda
Let us work together to inform, inspire, and Impact India positively for poverty eradication and climate change mitigation.
What We do ?
IDCA creates opportunities and cooperation between non-profit organizations, non-governmental
organizations and individuals that are engaged in bettering the lives of village
and urban poor through scalable sustainable development initiatives. Some of the
issues we are focussing can be expressed by the acronym WEALTH as shown
below:
W ater, Waste/Sanitation
E ducation, Energy, Environment,
A griculture, Attitude, Administration
L ivelihoods, Leadership
T echnology, Trade, Transportation
H ealthcare, Housing, Harmony
For the present our focus will be on four core needs of Water, Eduction, Livelihoods, and Healthcare. We will also work on climate change mitigation because poor are most affected by the adverse climate related events. We will work on other issues with our members here and partners in India as and when necessary and feasible. We also intend to address the larger global issues like global warming and climate change, poverty, population, alternative energy which are important to achieve our Mission. We think that merely working at the grassroots level is not enough to achieve our desired goal of a prosperous, peaceful India and the world. We need to learn about the policies and help change them in the best interest of the masses and the planet.
We also aim to work with and support successful NGOs in India brought to our attention by our members, coorporate sector, and government bodies whenever necessary.
Our upcoming event: The 2nd Midwest University Student Conference on April 20, at DePaui University, Chicago.
