To,
The Honorable Minister,
Dear Sir,
Subject: An Appeal to Reconstruct Kutch.
The massive disastrous earthquake has almost wiped off 50% of The Kutch and it is our moral duty to regain our Kutch. Panjokutch appreciates the work of The Present Government up till now but the work still remains incomplete. In this regards we on behalf of all the NGOs of Kutchi Society wish to offer our service to lessen your burden.
By offering only food, clothing and shelter we cannot rehabilitate a person. In this matter we visualize the following needs for a person to lead a respectful life:
Psychological Needs:
|
Counseling to remove tremor fright. |
Entertainment |
|
Library, Toy Library. |
Relieve stress through various entertainment media. |
Individual Needs:
|
Free Ration and Milk Powder. |
Free Medical and Education. |
Free Electricity and Fodder for Animals. |
|
Drinking Water Arrangements. |
Mobile Medical Shops. |
Subsidized Kerosene, Petrol, Diesel, etc. |
Social Needs:
|
Rebuild Houses or Repair the damaged houses. |
Construct Schools, Hospitals, Community Centers, etc. |
|
Setting up proper Infrastructure. |
Catering other Socio needs. |
Economic Needs:
|
Creating Job Opportunity. |
Develop Tourism. |
Setting up Cottage and other Industries. |
|
Building Free Trade Zone. |
Self-Employment Schemes. |
Cattle Breeding |
We would also suggest Free Rationing, Monetary Relief, and Individual Reimbursement to our Craftsmen, etc. for at least 1 year till resettlement work is completed.
Panjokutch.com on behalf of Kutchi Society thereby appeals to consider the above points and do the needful as it may deem fit to you. This website is suppose to be the most popular among The Kutchi People from Home and Abroad.
We have also mobilized huge funds and generated Confidence & Satisfaction among the people in such critical events without creating Panic. Please inform us about your activities regarding Earthquake Relief Work so that it can be posted on our site. We expect the whole-hearted help from your side.
Thanking you in anticipation,
Yours truly,
Panjokutch.com
