It began this June, when Navjot Kaur began to blog to speak her heart out. (www.grandioselives.blogspot.com) A good and sensible writer, her friends encouraged her and three months later, Navjot, a final year student of electrical engineering now, convinced her elder bro Harjot to provide her a platform. So, in September’07 was launched www.utopiandreamers.com. Now, Harjyot who is preparing for his IAS looks after the technical aspects and gathers support for their venture, while Navjyot does the writing bit.
The site’s aim is to spread awareness on social issues and they work through a medium of letting visitors sign petitions. Their latest petition condemns the barbaric violence being unleashed in Nandigram. Also, they make people aware of the use of PILs and RTI. Their current issue of concern is global warming, for which they have collaborated with Greenpeace and Global Oneness Project. What’s more they’ve even managed to get a couple of ads from Google for their site.
Called: www.utopiandreamers.com
Cause: Social issues, environment concerns, childcare etc.
Path: Started from a blog, followed by a website, to holding events today.
Result: Till date, 2,000 people have signed their first petition — Soil: The secret global warming solution.
