Government of India has always been known to play its part in trying to do something for our brothers and sisters abroad from formation of ministry for them in the form of Ministry of overseas Indian affairs.Government is playing its part but today we need common man also to step in and help the people who have supported the country for decades.
One such initiative is being launched in short time in the form of www.wehelpnri.com
Owners of the portal belong to very respectable families of India who has always been involved in social welfare activities. One of the promoters Mukul Anand is the grand son of Late Shri kasturi lal anand. The man responsible for formation of Gaffar market in Karol Bagh delhi. Who also were its founder president and helped people till his regretful demise. Government has always been kind to give great people respect as he was made Honory DSP at the time of 84 riots and have now named a road after him at his residential town patel nagar. His statues in Gaffar market and patel nagar Tikon club bhagwati mandir are a symbol of his work in public service. As they still could not stop honoring this great man they have named community center in gaffar market after him. He is still remembered for his effort of collection of funds for Khukhrain bhawan in patel nagar as he wanted it to have all necessary facilities for public welfare.
Another founder of www.wehelpnri.com is Mr Prateek Khandelwal grandson of shri Jai Narayan Khandelwal(Methi). Who till date travels all over india and initiates his help to all community members. He is president of seva bharti. Which has hundreds of braches as of nowand is chief patron of all india vaish maha sabha. lately they organized a meeting of all community members in bankok. where their community members visited from over 30 countries. It was a magical gathering of around 5000 people. They regularly take initiative of organizing blood donation camps, helping widows and underprivelage children their efforts to organize diwali melas and other festivities is as great an achievement we could find localy. Having effectively run khandelwal association he is one great living legend and we hope he lives and gives more to the society we live in. Being president of snathan dharam since 60,s and rajisthan sanstha sangh his efforts will be remembered by all the generations to come.
The third supportive partner and partners of Mukul and prateek is Vikram Sharma. Collectively they are owners of Immaculste ltd. Vikram a PIO himself was very helpful in making of www.wehelpnri.com Till date all the investment in the project has been done by their United Kingdom based company Immaculate Ltd. As they are well versed in IT and BPO field they have decided to launch this web based portal and a call center help line, which will cater initially to Indians in UK, US and Canada. Before making the portal which is almost one stop shop for NRI,S and PIO,S, they called thousands of Indians abroad to take their advise. Having invested heavily in research and their system, they intend to promote their project by Internet marketing and advertising like a portal is usually done. But apart from this they intend to call all the data they have of Indian’s abroad and explain about benefits of www.wehelpnri.com. As almost all the services on their portal are free for NRI,S they are expecting a huge response. Now they are approaching and expecting corporate India and welfare organizations to help them.
The services they are initially concentrating on are mostly investment related. As NRI,S have been known to be duped in the fields of real estate. They intend to provide free help to advise them to be sure about their investments. Advise on shares, mutual funds, insurance and business also will be free. One of the major areas of concern that was found in surveys was legality and accounting will also be taken care of. Apart from this you could find Indian wheather, food and other aspects of India also on their website. The website will be regularly updated to provide news and reviews in various fields. So that Indians abroad could know as much about India as possible. Rest if they don’t even know how to check all online they could call UK and US based numbers and get all information through telephone.
If such initiatives are taken by our young generation we could expect a bright future for our country and our countrymen abroad
