#IndependenceDayIndia2020 I formally bring my 2-bit Volunteering efforts in #IndiaFightsCorona to a close, thanking each one who were part of this challenging but made easy by wonderful co-passengers of various programs during this journey.
Will continue thread in the evening
#IndiaFightsCorona Firstly a big thanks to the #Karnataka State leadership under @BSYBJP for their unwavering faith and trust by empowering Common citizens to drive & Deliver elements of the Citizen Participation program, immaculately conceived by @Captain_Mani72
#IndiaFightsCorona BTW! I am moving after this long journey that began on March 4th 2020 as I am switching my jobs and need a break before starting with new org. Thank my organisation for their support to me & also for contribution to the battle. They want to remain unnamed
#IndiaFightsCorona A data that #Karnataka can really be proud of 47,000 unique Volunteers (total in all programs is >66,000) who served between 1 day to 164 days (and many continuing their amazing work) In the current @Home_Quarantine Program we have 26K+ registered volunteers
#IndiaFightsCorona #Karnataka I have to also highlight a #Fact. Every single criticism, every feedback, every appreciation were taken very sportingly by the entire Administration, Bureaucrats, Police, Political leadership. I am sure all of us citizen agree with me.
#IndiaFightsCorona #Karnataka I hope this participation model is worthy of emulation by every state. It Works and works well. It comes with a lot of challenges but worth trying it. Battle against Corona by no means is over. So it can be started even now
#IndiaFightsCorona #Karnataka Latest program that I was associated @Home_Quarantine which morphed into various forms as it progressed. An ambitious one to protect/save our city #Bengaluru Wonderful bunch of Zonal coordinators, some who I know from #CoronaWarrior program time
#IndiaFightsCorona #Karnataka Zonal Coordinators @naveenmallesh, @Dheeraj01800902 #VenkateshManjunath, #Rubeena #Suman @sriAAA_ #BheemaRajesh #RakeshGowda Without them this activity would have been a non-starter. Extremely privileged to have met them & learnt a lot form them
#IndiaFightsCorona #Karnataka Will never forget the selfless and always at call, ready to serve @KarCivilDefence friends especially @LawrenceLawru @hggowtham @jakareem26 @Hpr_reddy and so many others whose Twitter handles I don’t know. Let us meet up in better circumstances
#IndiaFightsCorona #Karnataka Each and everyone very special for me and pardon me, the unnamed one. It is not that you are unimportant @mohanspeaks @fathaheen @SahanaA09 @kuttadan @broken_halo_ (won’t dare miss this time) @preetdixit @reader_wanderer @pravees
#IndiaFightsCorona #Karnataka Not that the journey did not have painful moments. We lost a #CoronaSainika to the enemy we were fighting from #Mysuru, Khaleel and one more @hemkbm9 to a heart attack. Heart breaking to hear these selfless, bubbly souls taken by the Divine to Him
#IndiaFightsCorona #Karnataka While doing there, in order to understand the issue better, decided to get certified from WHO too. Specifically #COVID19 related. Some learnings down the line too

#IndiaFightsCorona #Karnataka Unperturbed by pressure, working with volunteers (as against paid staff) etc is a skill I developed thanks to Gurudev @SriSri ji of @ArtofLiving which to my knowledge is the largest Volunteer based organisation in the world. Grateful Gurudeva 🙏🙏
#IndiaFightsCorona #Karnataka The beauty was composition of this amorphous bunch of Selfless, Enthusiastic & passionate Human Beings, with varied background, skills, education, financial status, ideology & faith. Nothing mattered - the war cry was clear. That was unifying factor
#IndiaFightsCorona #Karnataka Obviously with such variety challenges did exist. Some mischievous elements also crept in. But overall this was an unique experiment that I would give atleast 7/10 and worth emulating in all aspects of governance
#IndiaFightsCorona #Karnataka I also would thank some friends in the Media @rakeshprakash1 @ChethanKumarTOI @vshoba @prajwalmanipal @nolanentreeo @mechirubhat @Nithya_Mandyam and a few more friends. Their contribution in this fight has been commendable too. Salutes 🙏
#IndiaFightsCorona #Karnataka Not to forget all friends in @CaringIndians who developed a lot of products to help fight the pandemic and with no financial motive (read this well, all developments pro bono for society) and facing frustrating hassles of approvals
#IndiaFightsCorona #Karnataka Then individuals @TajinderBagga @Rajput_Ramesh @SonuSood @ManMundra @srinivasiyc We may not have conversed or none may even know me, but you were well within my radar of inspiration. Always looked up to all of you guys. Salutes and all the best
Another missing one @RakeshG69534320
#IndiaIndependenceday It was also a pleasure and privilege to have my path crossed with @abdulelite1 and @mercymission1 team Wonderful Human beings and great work by them
#IndiaIndependenceday Collaborations with many organisations like @ArtofLiving @RSSorg @adamya_chetana @abhyudaya_kkss @yfs_official and Team #SoSCorona of @BharatSpandan made this journey much more interesting. Synergy between volunteers of each organization was a treat to watch
