During the National Conference of RWAs<\/strong><\/a>, we cornered Mr. M. Nagaraja<\/strong>, who founded the Jayanagar RWA of Bangalore,<\/strong> 32 years back. A Survey Expert with the Indian Government, a Professor and a 76 year old witty Social Leader who believes in moving mountain using rapport, we persuaded him to share with us his Do’s and Don’ts list for RWAs.<\/p>\n

Sharing them with you here.<\/p>\n

DO’s<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Define “Welfare” for your particular RWA<\/p>\n

2. Set strict limits for the scope of the RWA<\/p>\n

3. Get 100% enrollment of Residents – continuously drive enrollment, give incentives – e.g., we shall provide you exclusive and useful information of the locality.<\/p>\n

4. Do not collect more money than required<\/p>\n

5. Make Transparency, Accountability and Sincerity part of the culture<\/p>\n

6. Office Bearers must not continue beyond 2 continuous years. (3 continuous years is okay for the first set of Office Bearers). “When Water gets stagnated, it stinks”.<\/p>\n

7. There can be annual membership, life membership, patrons.<\/p>\n

8. Rope in Industrialists who can sponsor. Such Donations are exempt under Section 80G(5) of Income Tax Act 1961.<\/p>\n

9. Arrange a Family Meet, preferably in December. Should not be with Profit Motive.<\/p>\n

10. As far as possible carry on without any regulation or registration (can’t avail #8 in that case, of course), work must be voluntary, inclusive, contributory.<\/p>\n

DON’Ts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nagaraja Garu wanted all the Do’s to be repeated in the opposite. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
