Re: # 2, rakeshmani:
The Chowk is a discussion forum. If I were to follow your philosopy my succinct response would be that the article is: succinct, insubstantive and ineffective.
Now that does not open many avenues of interactions, does it?

Re: # 1

Inquirer sahab,

The author has not just described these organisations but has also taken the pains of succintly explaining what DIA and IndiCorps do. Perhaps asking for some more ``inquiry`` on your part would not be uncalled for.

As for the others, the gist of it is that others ought to appreciate such examples and be inspired.. and then either participate in such initiatives to change/improve our societies from the youth level or, for the more enterprising amongst us, to try and set up such organisations ourselves where we feel they might be helpful and successful.

The author has described useful sounding organizations: DIA, DESI and IndiCorps. What is his purpose?
He should have catalogued the individual activities by them and then indictated what he wants done by others, Chowkies included.
