Hello Friends,



It’s really a pleasure to see the participation of more and more qualified people in our team. Now I feel that we have plenty of people from different fields and may be if we really plan something positive, we can create a storm in Uttarakhand. I feel its not a good idea to put our personal matters in the group, as I have been saying time and again, we miss out the messages which may be of some good use, because, all the time, its not possible to go through all the messages. There are some lucky members, who might be just sitting in the office & exploring the net. But this is not the case with every member.



We all have formed this group, solely to contribute something in which we have good knowledge. We have people who are contributing positively and making efforts to make the group more active & goal oriented. We will have to keep in mind that now there are people from abroad also, who are showing good interest in the group and its activities. We have a CORE TEAM who looks after the projects completed and to be completed in near future.



We have so many qualified people and if we make some good decisions, we will definitely do wonders for our Uttarakhand. There is no dearth of talents in our people. We have to only guide them. Our people have the expertise of every field the only thing need to be done is to use their knowledge, skills and experience for the better of the remaining of our brethrens who due to one or other reason are not able to get, for what they are eligible for.



SO FRIENDS, LETS SHED OUR PAST EGOS, MAKE FRIENDS, BE FRIENDS, ENCOURAGE TEAM EFFORTS AND TAKE PART IN THE ACTIVITIES OF THE PG GROUP AND CONTRIBUTE SOMETHING TO YOUR SOCIEITY/PEOPLE/ REGION/STATE.
