Together we can make a big difference to help our society to prosper




On this Auspicious occasion of Holi, I got the opportunity to contribute back to society in terms of FOOD for promoting EDUCATION, with the hope for making India prosperous by eradicating hunger & malnutrition. 

Though this small amount is very insignificant, if everyone of us decided to help then, these little drops could become an ocean soon & we can see the drastic progress very soon.

Thanks to Dell for giving us a platform for making donation to a genuine organisation (AkshayaPatra.org). 


It also accepts direct online donations for feeding poor school going children, i.e. Enabling Hunger free Education for nearly 1.3 million Children in India.

If anyone is interested to help in similar fashion or need any further information, please contact me without any hesitation. Together we can make a big difference...

List of most populous cities in India

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of the most populous cities (city limits only and not urban agglomerations) in India. Population statistics indicated in this article are for the year 2011. The list does not indicate urban agglomeration populations. Often cities are bifurcated into multiple regions (municipalities) which results in creation of cities within cities which may figure in the list. For urban agglomerations, see list of most populous metropolitan areas in India.
Current TOP 5 Cities :
