One day, Dr. Kalam received a mail from Mr. Muraganandam, Samayapuram, Trichy, Tamilnadu. Till his first year of higher secondary he was ordinary person. Then he started developing weakness and eventually restricting
his movement laterally - both hands & legs. The indomitable spirit in him had learned computers, even though he had to discontinue his studies.
The issue is also sort of genetic with his parents & now him. He was very unhappy
with situation, he mustered confidence & wrote a mail to Dr. kalam. Dr. Kalam has forwarded the mail to Mrs. Kalama and to Mr. Prime Point Srinivasan, India Vision Group for extending necessary help and support to him.
India vision group took upon this task as a mission and spread the message among its members for the necessary help.
India Vision group members from Trichy visited Mr. Muruganandam in his home.
Their first task was to take a medical advice on condition and the cause. Mr. Prime Point Srivasan's contacted Dr. Manivannan- MD, Kaveri Hospital, Trichy and he personally sent his team to examine, to find out the status.
The next step was to confirm the ground reality. The partner groups of India Vision group did not hesitate one moment.
They had sent the teams to visit him and gave the first hand report immediately. Seeing all the feasible options, considering his skills, based on the cost analysis and the existing business potential India vision group and its partner organizations decided to set up Internet centre for him. It was agreed by all & they plunged into further action.
After exploring all the options they decided to get second hand system. For multiple reasons mainly to test out waters and give Muruganandam the confidence in running the show. Mr.Suresh Kamat (CEO, Laser Soft) readily offered 2 Systems from laser Soft. Muruganandam did his part by registering for Internet, then searching for old cabins, getting network router installed. Now Mr. Muruganandam is a PROUD owner of an Internet Centre!! His well wishers/friends in Samayapuram helped him a lot. The main idea for sustainable progress is establishing local support structure. We were able to establish this in better way! It was reviewed and continuously monitored for his sustainability.
This one single incident shows the power of networking the people working in different parts of the country. India Vision 2020 partner groups worked together to benefit an energetic youth Shri. Muruganandam (Trichy, Tamilnadu).
This is an excellent example of team work.
The following members involved in this mission, in a coordinated way with the leadership provided by Mr. Prime
Point Srinivasan. SIAGM, Dream India 2020, India Sudar, YHM, Team Everest “Not one partner showed hesitation at any point in time which I believe was hugely responsible for the completion”
India vision group member Mr. K. Ravikumar proudly says.
