After many discussions with local clubs and riders about the possibilities and road conditions, the final route map for Vande Maataram Ride has been finalised and shared with all. Now coming up is the execution part, Money can't buy happiness they say but happiness of this magnitude sure needs the basic funds, talks are on to mobilise that. But has been on a short notice, as the plan itself is not more than a month old. But it was so captivating and powerful that everything is falling in place and the Ride is all set to kick start. Everyone connected is emotionally attached with the purpose of this ride. I am quite hopeful sponsors may join hands along the way. Event cannot delay as its a long commitment from the riders and the need is imperative.
Team Vandemaataram is trying to arrange sponsorship for the ride. Talks are on with a lot of big players and they are awaiting response from them. Things look positive, however, the project cannot be delayed. the applicants are informed that if needed, they'd be required to self sponsor. The approximate budget per person would be as follows.
For the 40 days of ride: (Approximate in INR)
Fuel: 35,000/- to 40,000/-
Accommodation: 20,000/- to 25,000/-
Food: 25,000/-
Miscellaneous: 10,000/-
Merchandise: 1,000/-
The total amount required per person is a little over one lakh INR.
It certainly would be a delight if people the business owners themselves support the cause. Every city the petrol pump owners, accommodation providers and hotel and restaurant owners come forward and play the vital role. This came as a thought in my mind and I am just voicing it....its just a wish.
