Todays The Hindu Newspaper - about ENLIFT and NSAT Team Enlift also collaborated with other NGOs such as NSAT, Nilgiri Social Awareness Team to hold a blanket drive on January 26 to provide free blankets for the beggars. They also engage in other social activities. They organised a two-wheeler rally to urge women to vote. Over 90 women took part, zipping through the city, holding posters. It was a great success, recalls Babu, the executive member of the team. They organised it with the support of election commission. “It was a grand event. The Collector and the Deputy Collector had turned up. All of them appreciated the initiative.” A strong network of young start ups in the city is the backbone of Enlift’s success. “Kites Café is our venue partner and Kovai Foodies is the online partner. We have signed an MOU with NSAT to hold a blanket drive once every month. We collaborate with each other so that we mutually benefit from each other’s activities. So many young start ups have sprung up in the city. We aspire to do something different and radical. There will be more start ups in the city if the government gives enough support and the NGOs work like a tight network. We can be a good model to other cities. The youth will stop migrating to bigger metros for want of opportunities here.” Check out the link below; thehindu/features/metroplus/sixteen-ways-to-a-better-world/article5928909.ece
