Sometime back, I made a list of the top ten resources on social 2.0 or how to use social media for social change.
Here’s a follow-up list of the top five resources on social media for social change in the Indian context.
- ThinkChange India — started by Vinay Ganti and old friend Santhosh Ramdoss — aims to be “your primary source of information on social innovation and social entrepreneurship in India.”
- InfoChange India — managed by Centre for Communication and Development Studies — is “an online resource base that provides news, views, perspectives and debates on crucial issues of sustainable development and social justice in India and South Asia.”
- India Banao — started by the uber high profile trio of Sanjeev Sanyal, Jayant Sinha and Sheetal Talwar — is “a platform for young people to participate in public affairs.”
- Lead India 2020 aims to “lead Indian youth to lead India to lead the world by 2020.”
- Change India aims to “encourage all citizens to participate in nation building by working with the government to improve quality of life of the citizens.”
