Embarking on a journey of “Giving Forward” and thereby creating a ‘Virtuous Cycle’, I invite you to join me on this voyage.We often go out of our way to help our family & friends to ensure their needs are met. But if we ‘give forward’ what we have ‘received back’ to somebody who is not even related to us – we create a virtuous cycle of goodness. Initially, I ran the marathon only for fitness. But having attached the cause of Nanhi Kali to it, fit became not only hit but superhit! As Group CFO, I was hesitant to approach people and organizations to help as I thought they should not misconstrue this. But I realize that I am not asking for myself but for the Nanhi Kalis and we are doing our bit for the ‘बेटी बचाओ बेटी पढ़ाओ’ campaign of the Hon’ble PM. So here I am, Parthasarathy, not as the CFO of a Group but a Marathoner who is an ardent supporter of Nanhi Kalis and want to reach out to you to help them rescript their destinies. So, friends please lend a helping hand to them and contribute. It is not about the amount but the number of supporters creating a bigger virtuous cycle.As Myers said - “Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.”About Project Nanhi Kali: Anand Mahindra began Project Nanhi Kali (www.nanhikali.org) in 1996 with the objective of providing quality education to underprivileged girls in India. Since inception, the project has educated over 375,000 girls and is currently supporting 165,000 girls in 10 states.
