If India has to become a developed nation by 2020, we must know
the social, developmental, environmental, economic as well as political
challenges. VoiceOfBharat.org shares with you views of the thought
leaders on each of these challenges. To start with, we present one
thought leader, expert in each field by May 15, 2011. Post this,
we will start sharing views of at least 5 to 10 experts per issue.
These interviews form a key research part of a book Sanjay Bapat,
the founder of VoiceOfBharat.org is writing on the Developmental
Challenges of India.

Important Note on professionals in the social sector
Most of the NGOs / Civil Society movements in India are founder
led and if we want to become a developed nation, its important to
get best quality professionals work and start leading these organisations
while the founder is still around. We are happy to share some of
the best professionals in the NGO / Civil Society Sector in India.
We want to particularly highlight the professionals for two reasons.
1 We want their contribution to the society to be acknowleged on
par with founders.
2 We can see the trend where issues will now be taken nationally
/ internationally by corporate foundations, philanthropists ...who
will act as social investors and who will build professional organisations.
