Congress MP KC Venugopal Announces Innovative Crowdfunding
New Delhi, December 16, 2023: In a bid to embrace a new era of grassroots support and financial transparency, the Indian National Congress proudly announces the initiation of its online crowdfunding campaign, aptly named 'Donate for Desh.' This groundbreaking endeavor draws inspiration from Mahatma Gandhi's historic Tilak Swaraj Fund in 1920-21, reflecting the party's commitment to inclusive resource distribution and equal opportunities for all.
Congress MP KC Venugopal, in a statement today, emphasized the historical significance behind this initiative, highlighting the resonance with Mahatma Gandhi's principles of collective action and financial empowerment. The 'Donate for Desh' campaign is poised to become a catalyst for change, fostering a sense of ownership and participation among party members and supporters.
The official launch of the campaign is scheduled for December 18th, with the party President leading the way in Delhi. This event marks a pivotal moment for the Indian National Congress, showcasing its commitment to leveraging modern tools and technology for the greater good of the nation.
Venugopal urged party members at various levels to actively contribute to the campaign, setting a suggested minimum donation of Rs 1,380. This call to action extends to state-level office bearers, elected representatives, District Congress Committee (DCC) Presidents, Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) Presidents, and All India Congress Committee (AICC) office bearers.
The 'Donate for Desh' campaign goes beyond mere fundraising; it symbolizes a shift towards a more inclusive and participatory democracy. By embracing the digital era, the Indian National Congress aims to connect with a wider audience, allowing individuals from all walks of life to play a role in shaping the nation's future.
As the campaign gains momentum, it is evident that the Congress party is not only embracing technological innovation but also staying true to its historical roots of collective action. The 'Donate for Desh' initiative is poised to redefine political engagement, setting an example for transparency, accessibility, and inclusive governance in the digital age.
