GrunzGurkha,

To do something, you need money. Money Money Money. To use that money in a better way and for a worthy cause, you need idea. Idea alone does not bring anything new. All these societies and associations can do nothing unless there is input of money. A society / association without money is a club whatever suffix it might have. How to get money? Membership fee is not enough. No org can run with membership fee alone. It needs external funding, and donations or sponsorships. So, sponsorship, activities, membership make a golden triangle. The PhD association also needs these three, and it is like a snow ball: it should roll and grow up. In current situation, the tadarth samiti needs some dedicated and really honest people who can roll the snow ball and bring it to a reconizable size, so that others will join to roll and make it bigger. Till then it will be just like another society aka club.
