Greetings,

It is a privilege and honor of the Organizing Committee to cordially invite all Uttarakhandi families, their friends, and well wishers to the 10th UANA Convention 2008, on Saturday, July 26th 2008 in the scenic Poughkeepsie area of New York .

This year convention theme is based on kauthik (village fair in pahadi), with the sole purpose of having majestic Uttarakhandi get together to mingle, know, and spend great time together over the event weekend. As always the ever enthusiastic Virginia and DC metro team is coming in full strength with 2 buses full with 100+ people. The innovative idea of our organizing team members for the tri-state families and friends to spend the weekend at the hotel with out-station attendees has got a tremendous response with the hotel booked to its capacity. The organizing team is working selflessly and relentlessly around the clock to make the convention a pleasant and memorable experience worth remembering for years to come.

We like everyone to be part of this event to know more about UANA and its activities, share their views, and contribute ideas. Please make every possible effort to attend the convention.

We have attached the UANA press release and NY convention invite with program and hotel reservation details. Please visit http://www.uttaranchal.org for more details.

We look forward to your presence at Poughkeepsie on 26th July.

Warm regards,
10th Annual UANA Convention Organizing Committee

P.S.: The cut off date for hotel reservation has been extended to 20th July..

Uttarakhand Groups on Internet

Dhumakot Sangliya groups on internet are devoted exclusively to a single project that has been there for forty years. Approach is global and the focus is local.

The NRIs from Uttarakhand are as important people are as important in North America as from any other Indian State. Dr Bhakuni rose to a very important position in Good Year. He has invested his earnings on the Gyan Project in Uttarakhand. Dr NS Kapany is a Dehra Dun boy who is recognised as the inventor of fibre optics and these fibres were used in his work by Dr Basant Tariyal to rise to a very high position in communication field. He is the Chief of the Ekal Vidyalaya Sangthan which works in all parts of the World. Dr Kailash Joshi is known in the Silicon valley as organiser of TIE which is spread world over.

But these people eccept Dr Tariyal have not been active in activities of of Indian organisations in North America. They have concentrate on local activities related to Uttarakhand. Uttarakhand Association of North America was organised in 1998 while the Gopio which is the global representative of NRIs had started work from 1989.

Today the UANA stands divided in to threee groups. The Canadian Uttarakhandis had a separate organisation for quite some time and only a few months back UANA has divided itself into to UANAs. One is the Uttarakhand Association of North America and the other continues with the old name.

Dhumakot Sangliya International Group has been active for a few years. It is working for removing the hurdles that came in the way of the lens project in Uttarakhand that was initiated forty years ago. For this purpose we are taking Dhumakot Sangliya project as an experiment in the laboratory of Uttarakhand. This is being discussed in all forums world over. This project insists that the rural poverty cannot be tackled by the industrial approach or eBusiness alone. It requires iBusiness and the Uttarakhand project is a pioneering technological nursery. Unfortunately most of Uttarakhandis in UANA do not take the matter seriously. They even tried to block the mails just as Uttarayani organisation of Uttarakhandi officers is doing currently.

Kindly let us know your views about the division among NRIs belonging to Uttarakhand in North America.
