    This a woderful work you are doing. I believe that there are many people who do good work for the upliftment of the society, which does not get highlighted. We all need to join together and make India a better place to live in for the poor and underprivelged…

    there is a line of famous urdu poet Iqbal, which goes like this:
    “qidmat-e-qalq ke liye paida kiya insaan ko,
    warna ata at ke liye kam na the karr-o-bayan.”
    “god has created us for the service to humanity, if not there wasnt shortage of angels for worshipping god day and night.”

    “EK VICHAR hamare desh KI KISMAT BADAL SAKTA HAI”

    In today’s busy life a voice is coming from everywhere ie ‘THRIFTNESS’.

    I am a man of having a habit of saving small amount of money in small Saving Schemes and due to this my name is entered in Limca Book Of Records in the year of 1997 & 2000. Because of my this habit I have earned few profit & now it is my desire that some other people of society could also be profited. If in our country only 1% of the population on their respective birthday’s Could open one Recurring deposit account with an amount of Rs 50/-in Their nearest post offices for the duration of 60 Months. They should open an another account on their next coming birthday .After the completion of 60 Months they will get a MATURITY VALUE on the 61th month. On the other hand every month government will get a profit of Rs 50 crore For the ECONOMIC DEVOLOPEMENTAL ACTIVITIES in our country I have done this experiment on myself by saving money in small saving Schemes.I want to draw your kind attention of my new IDEA, and if you want to make our country economically powerful then please give this information to other people for economic social welfare, and belive me this type of regular saving practice may utilize to PREVENT POVERTY of our country.

In that article, i got to know that you both are working on this website. Many many thanks for your initiation.. at last i have seen a place to read real stories, positive and honest news. I cannot say right away that i join hands. But please dont mind to distribute some work whenever needed. Good Luck for all your future endeavors.

    Scientist NVSN Murthy is the richest man in the world since he has been working for the overall welfare of people and nations even while living in utter poverty unlike the rich people that started contributing to the society only after becoming rich. If at all the evaluations of our selection committees are right in any manner, this globally honoured scientist would have received several awards and rewards long ago.

    A Peace Pill for our peace-disturbed world from Scientist NVSN Murthy:

    Do not do for others what you do not want others to do for you.

    No one is bad since everyone belongs to God.

    God has no religion since He is God.

    The need of the hour: Sow humanity and reap peace, Sow peace and reap progress.

    Adopt the following: Humanity is my caste, Humanity is my community, Humanity is my Humanity is my religion, Humanity is my region, Humanity is my nationality, Humanity is my language and mother tongue, Humanity is my consideration, Humanity is my philosophy, Humanity is my way of life and Humanity is my world. Finally, put humanity at first and humanity at last.

    Qualification seldom qualifies anyone for employment, percentage of marks does not mean merit, age does not mean maturity, experience does not mean knowledge and talent does not mean wisdom.

    Therefore, employers must develop tools to measure performance and creativity essential to assess usefulness and wage-worthiness.

    Employers ignoring these facts end up in recruiting non-contributors.

    Not measure-worthy elements of a person:

    Money, power, position, popularity, qualification, experience and age of a person are not measure-worthy since performance and contribution alone matters.

    Change is challenging:

    Only a change can change a change and change alone can challenge a change along with the inevitable uncertainties associated with every change. These are the real challenges of life for the present and future generations.

  79. NVSN Murthy, Scientist
    #79

    Uncertainties:

    Uncertainty is more certain and more inevitable than the most inevitable change and challenges.

    Thus, Indian entrepreneurs in general and corporate sector in particular, must be more vigilant than never before since emerging technologies demanding abrupt changes need abnormal potential to absorb changes and challenges associated.

  80. NVSN Murthy, Scientist
    #80

    An Universal Peace Pill:

    Adopt “LoveAll-HateNone“ philosophy originated from Humanity, therefore Humanity is the essence of all religions, faiths and philosophies of our acquisitive world.

    Most importantly, for all those who believe in God, Humanity is the visible form of God.

    Do not do for others what you do not want others to do for you.

    We acquire everything only to carry nothing.

    Farmer’s Role:
