Desilting work at YAC Nagar nalla

MCGM sent their labourers for desilting nalla near Shantiniketan CHS at YAC Nagar on 24th January. Work started around 9:30AM. AGNI volunteers Seena Santosh and Benedicta D'souza oversaw the work. They removed the floating matter with bare hands and also did not carry necessary equipment for cutting the vegetation growing in the nalla. Volunteer Benedicta D'souza provided a koyta for cutting the plants. After, overseeing the work for almost 2 1/2 hours, when the volunteers left, the labourers also left without completing the job. Concerned MCGM official has been intimated about it and hopefully action will be taken at the earliest.

AGNI volunteers attend Project Management Workshop

AGNI K East JAAG under the leadership of Mr. James John conducted a Project Management Training Workshop for its volunteers on January 05, 2014.  Mr. Cavas Gobhai, a distinguished Business Consultant from the U.S. conducted the training. The goal of the workshop was to help create a project model for the different AGNI groups.The four hour long training session, got the volunteers to create a list of action items specific to their groups and then evolve the discussions into developing a project model for execution. The workshop helped channel feedback across groups and helped the AGNI volunteers create a model in the way they wanted.

The workshop had five groups corresponding to the AGNI group, the volunteers were part of. These groups provided each other valuable feedback during the course of the training. The presentations were done in two halves. The first half was a statement of the purpose and descriptions. The second half was a restatement by refining the purpose and description using the methods provided by Cavas.

The journey of self discovery helped the AGNI volunteers discover their model of execution which could set the foundation of more organized fund raising for critical issues which are to be tackled during 2014.

AGNI K East JAAG also used this forum to appreciate the dedication of some of its volunteers. Convenor, Mr. Gerson da Cunha, awarded AGNI volunteers, Mrs. Dhanalaxmi Rao, Ms.Dandamudi Madhuri and Mr.Agnelo D'silva with certificates for 100% attendance at the JAAG meetings of 2013.
