Great and strong initiative sir. Will love to be a part of it. Please let us know what we have to do. Thank you so much for sharing this insight.

Thanks Mr.Rathin Deb ji.  I shall get back to you shortly.  Thanks Manish, I surely need your social media  and  SEO expertise.

oh Great initiate and i can contribute it on social media and via seo :):)

Great effort Muralidharan. If anything i can do will be nice.

Wow. Great initiative. Looking forward to play my role in this initiative.  Thank you Mr. Muralidharan.

Thanks Mr. Raju for reflecting upon it instantaneously.  I'll surely require your immense contribution in the initiative.  
Thanks Mr. Cherian for your valuable inputs. We are going to be very cautious and would surely work towards making this initiative a success, applying probable, workable methodologies, rather than attempting some thing that has failed our education system in the past.  We will surely be guided by your noble thoughts, time and again.
Thanks Mr.Sudhakar and Mr. Ravichandran for your encouraging words.  I would seek your valuable inputs in making this initiative a success.

I still await responses from our other valuable members of Toostep. This initiative is for a common cause.

thanks Muralidharan! good to hear a front for the cause of education. looking forward to!

Simply touching and any good efforts need to b appreciated.

Any idea with good intentions need not be workable idea. If we look at it this way the youngsters who will access such mentoring will be those who are already in the development states towards it which is a rare phenomena here in our environment. Most of our youngsters dream, fantasize and probably many of them don't wind up building bridges towards their dreams. Mentoring a minute few representatives of the society may not be worth waiting for the outcomes. I am sure such ideas emmnate from our 'gurukulum' culture which per se is not very pragmatic. For that matter the mentoring recieved from our elders made us all more metaphysical rather than pragmatic which we derived from our life abroad.
Considering all these simple factors the better directions will be to create state of the art campuses around 40 of them around the country manned by academician trained in the Greek academic culture where pragmatism of the students in their profession is given more value.
Thanks Mr. Muralidharan for the referral.

@ Mr. Raju V P: For a start you if time permits you may go through the presentations/documents in our slideshare playlist in our website homepage www.campusaround.org. You are bound to get many questions as you go through them and we can take the thread from that point. For this movement of change everyone's contribution counts. Thanks.

@ Mr.Murali: We should take further inputs and delve deep on the proximity of the Old Age Homes to Campuses. Considering that we are beginning work in the NCR of Delhi for our pilot, we should get a few strategic and a little more grass root level activist on the field to get things moving.

Commendable effort.  Plese let us know how we can contribute constructively.
