The main purpose of goodnewsindia.com
is to persuade that there is more to India than the stream of depressing
stories projects her to be,
and
To establish a niche
for the dissemination of stories that inspire hope in the future of
India, a confidence in her abilities and an appreciation of her as a sensitive
civilisation.
To show-case the
heroic efforts of thousands of little known men, women and institutions,
while skirting celebrities, politicians, political parties, prima-donnas
and publicity-hunters.
To qualify as a
site which Indians visit with their children repeatedly to be reassured
that idealism and affirmative action have not disappeared entirely.
To create a
community that will participate in the growth and maintenance of this
site's endeavour.
To host only those
stories that are well-researched and are without hype or jingoism.
To serve as a
complete and reliable database of contact information for the
persons and places covered by the stories.
To become a site
with the least clutter, offering a pleasant viewing experience,
displaying well-chosen advertisers unobtrusively placed, and devoid of
any hustling to sign-up its visitors or to peddle products and
services.
Least of all, to run goodnewsindia.com on
sound business lines but without any great anxiety about revenue
issues.
