Shambhar Takke Shaaii – Mission 2022
The Rotary Club of Bombay and District 3141 are supporting Shambhar Takke Shaii – Mission 2022 to facilitate the registration of citizens who are either not registered as voters or whose voter registrations have not been transferred to Mumbai or Maharashtra.
A unique initiative of Project Mumbai, a Not for Profit Public Trust, Shambhar Takke Shaii means 100 per cent ink in Marathi. This campaign will run across three years, that is till 2022.
Project Mumbai aims to convert unregistered citizens, primarily across corporates and young college entrants, into
registered voters. Registration desks in corporate offices and over a hundred colleges will guide the un-registered to go online and register themselves.
The outreach will also guide them on documents required or route them to the NSVP website of the CEC. This initiative has the support of the State Election Commission (SEC). Mumbai University, supported by the NSS wing, has provided students who will man the registration desks.
RCB invited Shishir Joshi, CEO and Founder, Project Mumbai, to talk about this initiative. Shishir urged Rotarians and corporate leaders to spread the word through social media posters specially designed for the campaigns. He also requested industry heads to help set up registration desks which would facilitate their employees, vendors and family members to step out and get registered.
