BAGS - Bloggers Action Group for Society

Author's Note:   This material is not a regular post of iPENthisBLOG. This is about the BAGS initiative for bloggers. Just like CSR, this is Bloggers' Social Responsibility column. heartily welcome you to drop by and have a look and act.


Sometimes, smallest of acts bring the much needed, long awaited, miraculous changes in society. When such tiny activities accumulate, they have a much larger impact.

But acting on that one act is what is lacking. Even before we start doing something, the enormity or the fear of failure or our own multitude of apprehensions stop us from even beginning.

With that small introductory note, and to alleviate those fears of working alone, let me introduce, BAGS – Bloggers Action Group for Society. It is an unregistered, non-profit, open group of bloggers.

Any blogger who has a blog presently, anywhere in the world, could be a part of BAGS.
Bloggers in BAGS look for opportunities to help the society in any way possible as a blogger.

Let me give some initial ideas of where, as a blogger, we could do our part - Writing a post about a Non Government Organization(NGO), reaching out to under-privileged children - in teaching them about technology, doing social services with a few of our fellow bloggers in our locality or anything that is good for the society could be a BAG initiave.

You need not spend money. Couple of minutes or hours, of your time, in a week would do.

When any such initiative of yours becomes interesting for many other bloggers to follow then that is what we call ‘the miraculous change’ - the society was waiting for.

Help spread the word of BAGS to bloggers you know. Mainly the ideologies of BAGS. Ask your friends who blog what their idea in helping the society is and get together and do something to the society.

Let us get started now, this moment. Start churning ideas of what could we do, as a blogger, to the society.

The initial initiative, which I am kick-starting under BAGS, here in my blog, is to allocate one ad space for an NGO, whose integrity I am sure of and which I know is an authentic organization. If you like this idea, please, after making sure the NGO in your locality is really authentic, go forward.

I started to blog, to say something and I believe in what I am saying. I also had wanted to do something and BAGS is one opportunity for me to start doing something.
We are a rare breed, who dare to say what we feel and don’t shun away. I think we have an advantage here, to make these right, bold decisions.

If you come up with some way of making a difference, please share it with all of us, so if it suites us, we could put it in action too.

Welcome all of you aboard to start thinking about people around us.

Update: If you like this idea of allocating ad-space and could not find an NGO. Until you find one, feel free to use the Janakalyan-sevashram's ad, to the right- it is a 125X125 ad.
