Fun + Meaning2 = 2030 semi finals

One Nation. One World. - Semi

By 2030, we envision a ‘greener’ India, where education is commonplace and starvation is non existent. Our project focuses on organizing a week of challenges every year in which numerous teams will compete to complete tasks that will involve making a difference. These challenges will aim to improve the environment, decrease poverty, and increase literacy. The ‘face’ of these teams will be the highly admired Bollywood actors of India, who will not only be a part of these teams, but will also add a great sense of excitement and motivation to these challenges. The involvement of Bollywood actors is expected to be an ongoing process throughout the years in order to achieve sustainability; since many Bollywood actors have been strongly involved with charity since many years. A classic example is Bollywood star Salman Khan’s greatly successful charity organization ‘Being Human’ and the recent ‘ ‘NDTV Greenathon ‘ project supported by most Indian celebrities. The challenges for the project will be carried out in a few cities in the first year, and then expand to more cities every year. Thus, once the tasks are carried out in certain cities in year 1, then many teams will move on to different cities in year 2, but there will still be teams carrying out the challenges for the same cities of year 1. This will allow us to expand and simultaneously achieve sustainability. The winning teams will be rewarded monetarily.The initial revenue to start the project will be obtained by pitching to various organizations who support NGOs, including Tata Steel. Once the project is implemented, it is expected to produce significant revenue and achieve great levels of sustainable development; therefore truly making a difference.
