Who are we ?
We are a group of Kokanastha Bramhins, primarily united through the medium of internet. Over last few years, we have taken the shape of a strong offline community with growing numbers.
What are we doing here ?
We felt the need to come together with a clear direction in mind:
-
Networking
As the domain of our group increased, we found people coming together from a variety of fields, such as- Software/IT, Engineering, Commerce, Pure Sciences, Medicine, Pharma/Biotech, Marketing, Media, Tourism/Hospitality Management, Government Services, Arts/Music and many more.
A member who gets exposed to people from such a wide range of professions develops a broader outlook and gains knowledge about a spectrum of choices.
A strong community network helps to bring in education/employment opportunities, medical assistance, etc.
-
Community Building
We are trying to build a foundation for a progressive development of our community. As the community grows in strength - strength of numbers and strength of calibre - an individual too develops better.
We are already making small efforts to reach out the people who need help. We have initialised and implemented schemes for target groups such as- Student Scholarship, Financial assistance for medical remedies, Blood group database, Career guidance, Hostel/Accommodation facilities, Job search, and even matrimonials!
