Dear Members and Community,
In the last few days many of you have given your valuable feedback and suggestions on our FDC proposal. We sincerely thank everyone for their input.
We have tried to build a balanced proposal keeping everyones requirements in mind. This has been a particularly tough job as the initial ideal budget calculating all requests went over INR 2 crore. We have had to sadly cut down on a lot of items to make it a more viable proposal. Though our initial letter of intent was for $200,000, our goal was to submit a request for around $100,000 so as to grow at a sustainable pace. However this has been an extremely difficult task and in the end we decided to keep the proposal to just under $150,000. We feel that we have included the needs of the movement in India to a fair extent and at a sustainable level. We would have loved to include a lot more, however we have had to restrict ourselves with a heavy heart.
