Open Forum has been organizing various Advocacy
Conferences and Capacity Development Workshops
at National as well as Regional level. But nothing
is possible without your contribution. Achieving
the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and
Protection of Rights of Child will require a
reorientation of global markets to reward companies
that embrace responsible business principles.
The challenge is to create the conditions for
Responsible Competitiveness, where the competitiveness
of India is aligned to corporate responsibility.
Success in this respect is essential if corporate
responsibility is to realize its potential role
in delivering positive social outcomes. Taking
above facts into consideration the Open Forum
Team hereby request you to kindly extend your
support for this cause of social development
by providing support to the forthcoming initiatives
of Open Forum in way of Sponsorship for the
event and Advertisement in Official Publication.
This will help the NCRC team to achieve its
mission for Mainstreaming Communication for
Development and taking Open Forum programme
further. Your esteemed support will take the
development debate beyond the niche confines
and growth, which more accurately frames the
development challenges in India and Open Forum,
can very effectively achieve its mission for
sustainable social development. We will keep
