Its nearly 4 year since we started working for a cause and we still have a long way to go.
Do you thing publicity or greatly emphasized marketing will help Sankalp to achieve its goal or its its Work he should focus on and rest will fall in line...
Lets work speak for us...
I think we already have limited resource including time for our work then why should we bother about our publicity. We are not here for name fame or any thing. If we would be able to achieve what we want to do then it publicity will follow us only.
So let concentrate in our main goal(100% voluntary blood donation).
Keep Walking...
Other side of publicizing.
Hi friends,
I have seen some mixed feeling about publicizing Sankalp. I think the motive of rajat asking view on this topic was something else. As we all know publicity or some other profit is the last thing which will come in mind of any member of Sankalp.
To touch something on publicity, it is not as bad as it is seen here. May be we are just looking at the other side of publicity which is often used for peoples personal profit. However, there is another brighter side of publicity too.
In fact if we closely watch publicity is a very important tool to achieve your goals in a big way and whehter we like it or not it does happen. It happened for Sankalp also, The only thing is we never realized it happening because we never thaught it that way.
when we used to go to room to room in the hostels..
When we used to tell people about it and asked them to donate blood..
sitting in canteen and discussing about what to do to bring people together..
Most of us would have come to know about it from some body else.. may be heard from somebody .. or saw people working for sankalp and just out of curosity asked about it ..
Initially the publicity got done by visiting people and convincing them to donate blood for a noble cause. That was a mouth to ear publicity. there were no pemplates or other means used for publickty. This was OK in the begiing considering the small size and a single aim of sankalp in the begining ( only blood donation ). however with the increasing size and more greater motives we need more hands to strengthen Sankalp.
Publising can be done to bring the like minded people togehter. There might be a lot of people out there who might be willing to "donate blood and perform there duty" but just needs some awereness and a kick start. Publicity might help in bringing all those like minded people and organisatinos together..
I belive, here the motive of publicity is very pure and is truly intended to bring more like minded friends to strengthen Sankalp to fulfill its 100% target.
With times as we are all aware of the improved ways of communication, we should take the help of technology and man power to bring some more like minded people together to strenghten Sankalp and to get some more helping hands for those needy people out there...

Of course its the work that we need to concentrate on ..
We work for our own satisfaction not for others. Yes some of us might have felt the need for publicity in some situations where things could have been achieved in easier way. But if we sit together and look into ourselves we will realise that in front of our potential and stubbornness to get the things done, publicity is a very tiny thing to think about.
Its good if people come to know about us by our work and join us..
publcize!!! yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
let me hit the button straight...keepin aside the fame game..and other stuff..i belive that sankalp should publicize itself..i do not call for total publicization of our orgn..but i feel there s a need to overcome the questions which i feel are raised by many pple who do not know abt this orgn..it may be of its authenticity or of reilabilty..i belive if its publicized in an methodical and planned way it may very help in our aim of 100%blood donation..of course we are in it selflessly..but still if we hve somethin tat can give a boost to fantastic work bein done by our volunteers..how it can be done???i would definetly like 2 hve discussions with seniors and create a model 4 it...
Walk for Life
Walk for Life was an event exclusively dedicated to letting the people know about a cause.. in a way what can be called publicity...
When you tell a person what you are doing you do it for one of the two reasons..
One is to have the person join you by force of your argument, your work and your Motive..
The other is to impress the person into associating with you.. the kind of talk which shows people the things in the limelight and encourage them to be the great experience..
Publicity is also requesting people to join in to donate blood. It is also to put up our sharp features and impress them..
Can you discuss the above two types?
Request
For all those who reply as a "yes!"
Please do mention the possible ways that you feel are the right approach to publicize..
Not required...
I feel just by keep doing our work sincerely is the best way to publicize. Only when people see you working they believe u and they trust you. All other ways of publicity is short-lived. It stays for some time in the mind and then disappears, never reaches the heart. Anyways we are not offering any product that we need to market. Whatever is meant for public is always published like 1062. I don’t thing we need publicity for our service.
If not everywhere, Sankalp
If not everywhere, Sankalp should publicize its work at least in educational institutions like engineering colleges all over the state and other colleges of various fields. There may be many groups working for this cause in different colleges and publicizing sankalp will help in the unification of such unorganized groups into one comprehensive unit which will help greatly in initiating blood camps and other such programs. An effective communication system established between these different groups and institutions will help in bringing greater participation among various colleges in any event conducted by Sankalp. Publicizing Sankalp in other places as amidst the general public is not as feasible because then it will get commercialized and all work towards the cause is lost.
Sankalp should be the banner for all students interested in this cause to unite, and publicizing it in all colleges in the city and even the state is a very interesting and invigorating task indeed.
I don't think it is required.....
I don't think there is any need for the publicity....
I m happy the way the things are going right now....
The only thing that can be troublesome is that It's gonna be a little rough road....
But I don't mind it....
I would enjoy it...
And I have a feeling that if we go for publicity then we may end up all messed up....
I don't have a good feeling about it....
A lot many unnecessary dirty thing will come into play...
Yeah, if certain act of ours needs attention, Then the act/event can be publicised but I don't there is any need to publicise otherwise...
It's good nice and pure now....
Think about it....
We looked both side
From the discussion below i would like to say that it had bring out both side of publicity. So i think if we go for it in proper and organized way, to convey the right message in right way, then we should go for it.
I think we should have a group in charge of publicity who will be working for publicity with their other work. Publicity should be shadow job for this group. This group have to make plan and with the help of other should initiate work for publicity.
So lets join in, to publicize Sankalp idea and philosophy. Please give your name to work for publicity.
I guess you can be forced in
:)
When you are supposed to look after the PRs then this too can be pushed onto you:)
Cheers
Nope
All i can say is....
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!!
As Jayesh rightly said that 4 years n still a LONG way to go we will get publicity itself..
I think there is no need to worry on this topic...
Keep walking...
We have come a long way.. And there is a very long road ahead of us. Here at this point, when there is so much of work to do for the cause, why change our priorities? Work is our priority. The cause is our motivation. There is a separate wing to take care that our events get modest media coverage when required. We as an organization really don't need any publicity.
Let work speak for itself.
