SPARK CHANGE IN INDIA WITH THE THE SPARK IN YOU

Share ideas  for India's progress  at http://www.sparktherise.com/
Mahindra  rise will give grants to the winning ideas

Mahindra rise group invites you to submit your ideas  in the areas of Technology, transportation, infrastructre, energy, agricultue, rural evelopment, aand social entrepreneurship to sparktherise.com

Each month, eight winning ‘Sparks’ will receive financial grants from Mahindra. Five will be chosen by public vote and three will be chosen by an expert jury. Over the course of six months, Mahindra will award a total of 48 grants.  In the Grand Finale, 18 finalists – the top two winners from each month by public vote plus six entries chosen by an expert jury – will have the chance to win further funding. The ‘Spark’ with the most votes and the three runners-up will receive grants.
In this first step in Mahindra’s global campaign, Spark the Rise will focus on Mahindra’s home market, India. All Indians, including individuals, institutions, corporates and non-profit organisations are eligible to apply on the site.  In addition to Indians, the global community can also participate in supporting projects by voting, volunteering, donating, and discussing.
Entrants should create a profile on http://www.sparktherise.com/. Each entry must clearly state a project name, category, description and clearly explain who the project will help to ‘Rise’ and how it will achieve its goal. Participants can also note down resources already at their disposal and ask others for help related to funding, equipment, volunteers and expertise. Thus, even if a particular proposed project does not receive a grant, it can use Spark the Rise as a platform to gather the support required to implement the same.
