Tracking the economy

Tracking the economy is one of our main activities.

  1. We track developments taking place in the field of economy, particularly Indian economy.
  2. We also track policies declared/adopted by the government(s) from time to time. Whenever we feel that something is going wrong (read against ‘public interest’), we alert the concerned authorities.
  3. Further we write to the Government/Ministers/Authorities at regular intervals suggesting steps to improve the Indian Economy (We rarely get a response). Some  of the letters (not all) written by us to the government and the government’s response, if any, can be seen here

Discussions

Another important activity we are engaged in is picking up topics that, we consider, are important and critical to the country and initiate a discussion about them. Discussion papers released by us so far can be seen here

Shree Currency

Shree Currency is a specially designed, completely digital (as of now) ‘local/community currency’ developed by Proletarian Power to address various issues faced by the proletariat/common-man. It networks the proletariat, people at the bottom of the pyramid. It protects them from exploitation by the Rich, Influential and Powerful. It creates income generating opportunities, it alleviates poverty through empowerment and many more. To know more about Shree Currency view/download:

RREE-USE

RREE-USE (pronounced as re-use) is promoted by Proletarian Power mainly to create income generating opportunities for urban poor. RREE-USE is engaged in urban waste management. Unlike traditional raddi-wala (scrap-dealer/recycler) it does not buy scrap against cash but issues coupons which the patrons can redeem against listed products, merchandise procured from cottage industries etc., To know more about it you may visit rree-use.org.

Financial Literacy

We are also interested in spreading ‘financial literacy’ among the public. We find that the vast majority of Indians, including some very well educated professionals (with no finance background) are poor in understanding the basics of ‘personal finance’. Often these people become victims in the hands of greedy/unscrupulous financial intermediaries. We are in the process of preparing a series of videos in this regard.
