Creating a better India, one hour at a time

Written by Abhishek, 26-02-2013

The renowned spiritualist and the founder of Art of Living Sri Sri Ravi Shankar launched ‘Volunteer for a better India’ in Delhi earlier this month. The program aims to address the key issues which society is fighting today including illiteracy, corruption and addiction and encourages every Indian to give up one hour of their day to assist these causes.
After the anti-corruption movement, this is the biggest gathering of volunteers for a social cause. The launch event at Ramlila Maidan attracted about 1.5 lakh people and the movement was launched simultaneously across the country in major cities like Mumbai and Bangalore.
Addressing the gathering, Mr Shankar said "We can't work amidst corruption. People - especially women, children, artists, dalits, minority communities and others - don't feel secure in the country. We need to get to the root of the problem and fix it."
