Plan for 24/05/2006

2006-05-22T09:13:00.000-07:00

We are planning to conduct some activities at Bal Gandharva Chowk. The general plan is to emphasize on the so called brain drain. The plan-of-action would be like this:
A group of students would be sitting on the footpath reading GRE books, while a set of students will perform street plays every hour telling the people what this is all about. Simultaneously we would also be distributing pamphlets.

Also there would be students performing the job of "vehicle cleaners" to show that this is what they would have to do as things are going. Their T-Shirts would be carrying the slogan too, something on the lines of "After PG I have to do this"

These activities would continue till about 6:30 or so, and then there would be a pledge that all of us would be taking (candle) for what we stand for.

This would continue till about 8:30 pm.

Note: All the above mentioned activities HAVE to be conducted in a non-violent manner as the people present here would be of their own will. Any untoward incidents would be the indivdual's responsibility.
