To read complete letter


Dear United Way of Baroda,

United way of Baroda is most reputed name and perhaps No. 1 NGO of Vadodara city. Vadodara is famous for Garba in the world and your contribution to this glory is maximum on the other hand you help many other NGO of Vadodara. People of Vadodara had a proud image of United way as Social Contributor. You are U.S based NGO and your network is extended over 20 countries of the world so it is to be assumed that social work is your prime motto and Garba and making money is your secondary objective.   

Every year you increase the price of passes for male participant and discover the concept of security deposit for female participant we strongly believe  that  this price hike for male participant and security deposit for female participant is to exclude certain class of people. Many business organization doing this for many years but it would not expected to any NGO especially NGO like yours. Now it’s clear in our mind that making money in the name NGO is your prime objective and social work is instrument to achieve it; in other word we can say that social work, Garba and Donation is your business product and like many other business organization your main and only objective is profit at any cost.     

This time you organized Garba just opposite to Bhailal Amin Hospital where many heart patient getting their treatment, so being a so called NGO it’s your moral responsibility to not to organized Garba at this place. We laugh out loudly when you read your mission statement
E To solve problems of the community.
E Identifying needs of people, recognizing issues and respond to tackle the issues.
E To increase our financial resources in order to meet the growing needs of the community by getting prospective donors at individual and corporate levels.
E To facilitate in the following fields:
Training and development, Environment, Women Empowerment, Youth, Children welfare, Disability, Senior citizens, Education, etc.
Dear United Way of Baroda to fulfill this aim you have to fallow certain principal that you don’t have. You have an only one principal that make the people fool in the name of NGO and make as much money as you can.

Let’s see at the approximate calculations of the income generated by our famous NGO funding organisation:

The income generated from the rent of beverage stall is around Rs 3 lakhs to Rs 4 lakhs and the rent of food stalls is around Rs 50,000.
On an average 100 (approximately) people with V.VIP passes donate about Rs 35,000 to Rs 40,000. They are provided with car parking space for two cars and VIP seating arrangement to watch garba.
