PRABHU TARUN DIGITAL TEAM
Technology a boon or a curse has been a controversial subject however 2020 has proved that Technology if used wisely can indeed be a boon. Thanks to technology, we have been able to connect and meet our family members and friends virtually atleast despite of the social distancing.
Change is inevitable and we need to change with the changing times. We take this opportunity to announce a major change in the functioning of our age old newsletter Prabhu Tarun as we adapt ourselves and adhere to the need of the hour.
WE FEEL THAT GOING DIGITAL IS THE WAY AHEAD AND HENCE WE HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE PRABHU TARUN ON A DIGITAL PLATFORM AND RESTRUCTURE THE ENTIRE FORMAT OF THE NEWSLETTER.
Prabhu Tarun had launched its Website in August 2009. It has been more than a decade and a lot of changes have taken place since then. We are extremely happy to announce that as a part of our Centenary celebration we are Restructuring our Website which will serve as a DATA BASE for our community members AND ALSO LAUNCHING OUR PRABHU TARUN APP WHICH YOU CAN ACCESS FROM YOUR MOBILE PHONES.
We would like to make an appeal to you all as we will need your support and contribution from your end to preserve our community data for Generations to come. This website will have contents which will be of the Pathare Prabhus, by the Pathare Prabhus however it will not be restricted only FOR the Pathare Prabhus. The website will have sections which will be useful and accessible even for non Pathare Prabhus.
Today’s generation might not feel the necessity or importance of having a data of our community or rather know anything about our community. But you never know their children might want to search for their roots and would not know where to look for… so here we are trying to build up a data base for our coming generations where they will find everything they want to know about Pathare Prabhus under one roof.
The details of the contents of the website will be shared on our Prabhu Tarun Facebook group and we request you all to watch out for updates on Facebook.
We have tried our level best to continuing serving the community and setting up a data base for the benefit of our community members however maintaining the website for years to come is a responsibility of every Pathare Prabhu as we can create a website, upload the data however kindly keep in mind that preserving the data forever will come for a cost which is the responsibility of every Pathare Prabhu.
Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much. The strength of the team is each individual member and the strength of each member, is the team. We have a team of Pathare Prabhus who have a common vision and we are striving hard to achieve our goals for the benefit of our community.
