WHAT IS GDP TALKS?
You are second to none. You bring your own skill sets and expertise to the table. You have a better understanding of your surroundings and you are in a better position to tell what you need in today’s ever-changing time. All you need is a platform to express yourself, a platform that is not judgemental and of a neutral colour.
GDP Talks is this platform.
It is a platform to encourage you to bring to light opportunities you observe and issues you face with respect to agriculture, healthcare and education. That’s because these are the core sectors and you are fully aware of the state in which they are In your Taluka.
However, what makes this initiative unique is, we won’t stop here. We will empower you to turn your suggestions into reality.
With experts and investors on board, the GOP Foundation can take your solution to a logical end. Also, though there are trophies and prizes, this is not a contest, but a Manthan of Thoughts that can be put to action for the benefit of the Rural Society.
