Agenda: Agenda – Meeting on November 2nd, 2014 Please join our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/WhatsAppGurgaon/ 1. Welcome and Mission of the Group by Aditi Chadha and Anita Shukla 2. Introduction of members and purpose to join this group a. What skill or resource can members share to work for this cause? b. How much time per week can members commit? c. Contacts members have in the administration, MCD, state legislature, if any 3. Anita Shukla to talk about a volunteer group she has run in Delhi for Swatch Bharat and other members to share what they have done. 4. Points of discussion: a. I read an article in DLF City News October edition on Vikas Yadav, IAS, the new Municipal Commissioner. He has the following plans for Gurgaon and says he will diligently follow up: i. Infrastructure and civic issues – Drainage, Roads/Traffic Congestion ii. Waste management – GOI in consultation with Dutch embassy iii. Grievance redressal – Website for complaints and 1 hour daily office hours from 11 am to 12 pm for public grievances 1. Companies to spend 2% of net profit on CSR - E&Y has a Community Foundation to assist in this initiative b. Horrendous situation for Gurgaon’s GDP – Sector 37 is a SHAME – Garbage, Malaria, Industrial Houses in Udyog VIhar, Mosquitoes, Janitors not working or collecting garbage, tons of garbage, no underpass under Rajiv Chowk that has been sanctioned for 2 years, people smoking Hookah on the street right outside BJP Karyalaya, broken roads, wears off tires every couple of months, rampant power cuts/electricity outages – Let us sort this out – I have proof – videos and pictures. With bad GDP in production, how will India progress or Gurgaon progress? c. What this Millenial City Needs From Its New BJP Government i. Gurgaon as a commercial hub contributes to more than 40% of Haryana’s GDP but is virtually neglected when it comes to public sector spending. ii. We need Rajiv Chowk and Genpact Chowk to be manned at all times by cops. Ridiculous traffic situation. So much time wasted in traffic jams. iii. Due to the impending construction of the DLF metro, roads outside the metro enclosures are broken and badly damaged and the walking footpaths are non-existent. I cannot even walk across the street from my building. Why can we not have humane roads and footpaths? We do not deserve it? iv. Power cuts/electricity outages regularly in Udyog Vihar and residences. Disgusting? v. Litter in Udyog Vihar and all around Gurgaon and lots of and lots of Pigs. Litter litter everywhere! No dustbtns/garbage cans. vi. No parks for people who don’t live in fancy buildings. Missing greenery. No plans to plant trees. Just buildings and no greenery. vii. Lots of chances of malaria and dengue for residents of Gurgaon, regular replacement of tires, lots of expenditure on generators and invertors and sleepless nights and inefficient and unproductive days at work, bad air quality that causes heart and lung diseases such as asthma, weakness in the body, body aches, bad immune system, cancer, breathing difficulties, depression and stress. more  

Dear Members, Aditi and I are very excited to be hosting the first meeting this Sunday. Please be here at sharp 3.45 pm. Aditi will wait for you at the entrance of her building until 4pm and then will leave with the group to the meeting halls. Address: The Bellaire, Golf Course Road Phase -5 This is right next to the Camelia construction at the DLF Golf Course. It is very hard to miss it. It is also right across/opposite from the South Point Mall. Security is very tight here, that is why Aditi will personally wait for you at the gate. Once, we leave the gate, you will not be able to find us, so please be here on time and thank you so much in advance for respecting everyone's time. Housekeeping items: 1) We request each member to bring some soft drinks, plastic cups to pour the soft drinks (regular pepsi/coke) in, cookies/biscuits, light snacks and paper napkins so we can feed the members while we do the meeting. 2) We request 2 members to volunteer to make meeting notes/minutes of the meetings. This is very very important. You can bring your notebooks, laptops, Ipads, tablets etc as you please. These notes will have to be emailed to the members and posted on the FB Page later on to keep track of progress. 3) We will assign responsibilities for this group to run it most effectively so I hope that those who are passionate about this cause will stand up to volunteer. Please be energetic and share your ideas. Please review the attached agenda and be prepared to discuss and share your viewpoints and what you can do to help. more
