etuVol III • Issue 3 TMBRINGING BUSINESS, EDUCATION AND GOVERNMENT TO RURAL INDIASUnder the aegis of the National e-Governance Plan of Govt. of IndiaEDITORIALCoordinating Editor:Bhavna Shah ChatterjeeArt- Editor:Subimal SahaAsst. Art-Editing:Suman Das & Niladri BanerjeeIn a national report of 32 states & union territories submitted by A.C.Nielsen, it was suggested that in rural India 48.3% of householdsspend less than an average of 1638/- per month. They went on to saythat 27.09% of the population lies Below Poverty Line. Interestinglyenough, the findings of their survey indicated that in an average ruralhousehold, 26% is spent on agricultural inputs, and 36% on domesticexpenditures. The other items on which the households spendinclude medical expenses (9%) – mostly on common illnesses (4%)and on some major medical expenses in the last 2-3 years (3%) –although all the cost may not be incurred as monthly cost, but as avariable expense over the months. The average expenditure ontransportation costs is 10% of the total expenditure. Expenses onschool education form 3% of the total expenses, while that on collegeeducation and tuitions are 1% each. Communication forms 2% ofhousehold expenditure, while the expenditure on entertainment islow at 1%. The expenditure on social functions and obligations is 3%,the same as that on interest on loans.It was important to bring to your notice the findings above, becausethis issue is an ode to the thousands of Village Level Entrepreneurs allaround, who set examples everyday. In a society where computers &internet were alien concepts, these true citizens brought about the ITwave – a wave of change, a wave of growth, a wave of convenience.Another survey by the same group shows that today, an average ruralcitizen wants to spend a substantial part of his income towards theeducation of his/her children. The seeds of aspiration have beensown. And one cannot deny the major contribution of these VillageLevel Entrepreneurs in bringing this paradigm shift about.Every passing day sees these dedicated souls turning into harbingers ofjoy & hope in their communities. Their presence is now so strongly feltin the society, that people in the communities they cater to, look up tothem every time they need support or suggestions. In the truestmanifestation of the term, these “ambassadors of social change”find a new way to touch people’s lives for the better, every day. TheDepartment of Information Technology, GoI has recognized thecontribution of a few such society transforming VLE-s & wouldcontinue to do so in the future too.Published by :Department of Marketing CommunicationsSrei <strong>Sahaj</strong> e-Village Limitedwww.sahajcorporate.comSetu has taken time off this time to bring their stirring stories to itsreaders.

CEO SpeaksFriends, I would like to take this opportunity to share with you some recentdevelopments which are both encouraging and motivating. These developmentsindicate that all stakeholders in the area of e-Governance are fast realising the strengthof the CSC network and looking at opportunities to utilize it to deliver major e-Governance initiatives.I would start with my experiences at the 14th National e-Governance Conference,held in Aurangabad on 10-11 of February 2011. Organised jointly by Union<strong>Government</strong> and <strong>Government</strong> of Maharashtra, the theme of the conference was "Rurale-Service Delivery: Status and Challenges”. The conference aimed at taking stock ofthe e-Governance infrastructure in rural India, as well as paying tribute to those whohave played an important role in building it up. Representatives of <strong>Government</strong> as wellas the private sector from different parts of the country to Aurangabad participated inthe conference. His Excellency Governor Shri K. Sankaranarayanan, Mr. Kapil Sibal,Hon'ble, Union Cabinet Minister, and Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Mr. PrithvirajChavan, were amongst some of the important dignitaries present on the inaugural day.In inviting a number of Managing Directors and CEOs of companies involved in the ITsector and e-Governance, the <strong>Government</strong> openly acknowledged the fact that the private sector has a key role to play indevelopment of the e-Governance network, giving further credence to the PPP Model adopted by the <strong>Government</strong> for the CSCScheme.The most encouraging aspect of the Conference this year was that for the first time the <strong>Government</strong> decided to honour Village LevelEntrepreneurs who are an indispensable and integral part of the CSC Scheme. Department of Information Technology (DIT),<strong>Government</strong> of India, decided to felicitate 25 best performing VLEs with a monetary reward of Rs 10,000 each. The choice of bestperforming VLEs to be felicitated was made by DIT on the basis of the objective criterion of the uptime performance, as per dataobtained from the Online Monitoring Tool (OMT). The VLEs were shortlisted as per the uptime status of CSCs for the periodbetween August 1, 2010-January 19, 2011 (i.e. 172 days).It gives me great pleasure to share with you the information that of the 25 VLEs facilitated, 08 (eight) are members of Team <strong>Sahaj</strong>,from Orissa, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.I would like to draw attention to the fact that the selection of VLEs was made by DIT based on 'OMT uptime'. It, therefore, followsthat OMT registration and up-time has become a very important indicator of success of CSCs and VLEs and, that in future alsorewards and recognition will be based on this criterion. I would, thus, like to use this platform and this occasion to urge upon theState Heads, their teams as well as the VLEs themselves to ensure that OMT registration of their CSC is complete and that they log onto it at least once a day.Let me also share some more good news with you. We, at <strong>Sahaj</strong>, have undertaken a massive campaign for building pressure on theCentral and the State <strong>Government</strong>s for expediting routing of G2C services through the CSC. We are proactively trying to obtainwork relating to implementation of some big-ticket <strong>Government</strong> programmes like the Unique Identification (UID) programme andthe Financial Inclusion programme (CSCs to act as Banking Correspondent). In both these programmes, the VLEs will have a verysignificant role to play. You would be glad to know that the UID programme has already been launched as a pilot in Vellore district ofTamilnadu and we are launching a pilot enabling 263 VLEs to act as BC agents across 55 districts in the State of Assam, UttarPradesh, Tamil Nadu, Orissa and West Bengal, We hope that in due course we will be able to spread the UID and BC work to mostof our CSCs. In addition, Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority has already enrolled <strong>Sahaj</strong> as an Aggregator for itsSwavalamban Pension Scheme, aimed at providing an old-age security network for economically weak workers from theunorganised sector. This will benefit the poor in the rural areas and at the same time generate work for the CSCs and revenue for theVLEs. We shall launch the scheme on a Pan-India level, very soon.You will agree with me that things are finally looking up as far as implementation of G2C services and <strong>Government</strong> programmesthrough CSCs is concerned. Let us pool all our resources and make each of these programmes a great success. Meanwhile, havefaith, keep your chin up and keep the <strong>Sahaj</strong> flag flying high.Mrs. Meena ChaturvediCEOSrei <strong>Sahaj</strong> e-Village Ltd.<strong>Sahaj</strong> Setu • March 2011 2

Cover StoryGet their due recognitionsMeeting Manish Khatri, a proud <strong>Sahaj</strong> entrepreneur from Sitapur,Uttar Pradesh, can be a surreal experience. Here he was, on a finewinter evening in Uttar Pradesh, sitting on a chair at his CSC. Cladin kurta and pyjama, he looked well dressed and well maintained.His CSC is located strategically right on the highway with less or nocrowd. It is in such an area that Manish has been operating his CSCfor the last two and a half years. His rapport with nearby villagershas enabled him to create a niche for himself.“There is no question in my mind thatwe would not have achieved all that wehave today, if we had not had <strong>Sahaj</strong>'ssupport.”Mohanish Ranjan, Gazipur, Uttar PradeshToday, Manish is a familiar name to the villagers. Manish's CSC provides a comprehensive range of services – insurance,mobile top up, railway reservation, number of government certificates, e-learning, etc. Manish recollects, “In the initialdays, survival was a question. I was kind of depressed and doubtful if I would be able to make my stand as an entrepreneur.I am still here. I have lived up to each occasion. And this has been possible because of my belief in the CSC project and thatit is here to stay and I am one of the lucky few to be a part of this expansive project.”A resident of Hapalpur in Hardoi district of Uttar Pradesh, Awdesh Verma says, “In 2008 I came to know about <strong>Sahaj</strong> JanSeva Kendra through a newspaper advertisement. I spoke to the district representative Amit Shrivastava. When I learntabout the CSC project, I was excited about the idea of becoming an entrepreneur. I have always been an enthusiastic manand I always knew how to create a positive situation even out of a difficult scenario. Now I have not only establishedmyself as a successful entrepreneur earning sufficiently to support my family but have also begun to earn respect from thesociety for providing valuable services.”Shashidhar Kr. Gupta, a resident of West Champaran, Bihar says, “As a <strong>Sahaj</strong> Village Level Entrepreneur, I have realized theimportance of developing the local economies we are a part of and have committed time and resources to do just that. It'sreassuring that I secure a decent livelihood in the process.”<strong>Sahaj</strong> Setu • March 20116

Cover StoryMeena Chaturvedi, CEO –Public Services & e-Learning,Srei <strong>Sahaj</strong> commented afterthe Conference, “The VLEswere extremely ecstatic,they were very encouragedand I think it is somethingwhich should be repeatedin the future also. It is ahuge incentive for theVLEs. Not only were theV L E s p r e s e n t w a smotivated I'm sure that itwill motivate other VLEsalso. It will give aconfidence to them thatthey government isacknowledging their rolein national building.”The 14th National e-Governance Conference, based onthe theme “Rural e-Service Delivery: Status andChallenges,” aimed at understanding the introduction andpenetration of <strong>Government</strong> services in rural areas andproviding significant ICT solutions to ensure the efficientdelivery of online services. Every year, the Department ofAdministrative Reforms and Public Grievances presentedthe National Awards for e-Governance. The purpose of theaward was to recognise and acknowledge implementationof e-governance initiatives, disseminate knowledge oneffective methods of designing and implementingsustainable e-Governance initiatives and exchangeexperiences in solving problems, mitigating risks andplanning for success. A very important departure in theConference this year was that for the first time that the VLEswere recognised and honoured.VLEs drives societal transformation throughtheir CSCsRose Noor Ali Chowdhury has his CSC in Raniganj, which isextremely undevelopedvillage in the district of Dhubri of Assam. It is sixtykilometers away from the district headquarter. Most of thepeople of this and adjacent villagers work in Gujrat, Delhi,Tamilnadu, and Mumbai. As a result, they, along with theirfamilies have to travel frequently by train. Previously, theyhad to rush to New Bongaigaon, which is 70 kilometeraway from Raniganj to book railway tickets. Now they cando it at their leisure from their own village or from adistance easily manageable. Earlier, it used to take three tofive hours to go to Bongaigaon just to buy a ticket whichwould cost Rs.100 to 150/- to travel by bus. Now thevillagers are gathering in the CSC and getting their ticketbooked and obtaining other essential information bypaying Rs.10/- only. This is a vital change in the rural life andin the life of the villagers. The local people are hopeful thatmany such services offered through the CSCs will graduallychange the rural landscape of Assam and for the VLEs alsothis would be a new beginning.The VLEs have taken charge of their lives as responsiblec i t i z e n s , e n t e r i n t osustainable relationshipsw i t h t h e i rneighbourhoods, stand asleaders and succeed increating certain niche forthemselves in the villagecommunity.

His achievement is allthe more commendable since he accomplished this evenbefore the receipt of connectivity, which will start in a shortwhile. It speaks highly of the trust that the local populacehave in Ram Prakash, and also of their enthusiasm inreceiving the best of modern education.'Our idea was to project the Janseva Kendra as an institute',says Mr. Jitendra Tripathy, the tireless compatriot of RamPrakash Sharma in realizing the plan. 'Wetried to orient the rural population towardsthe prospects of computer education,combined with personality development',states Mr. Tripathy, 'we also emphasized howtheir efforts will be awarded by degreescertified by the <strong>Government</strong> of India, and howthey can also explore job opportunities fromthe same centre and possibly walk out with ajob, if considered eligible'.'There were a few such training institutions inthe neighborhood', says Ram Prakash, 'andtheir rates are lower too, as are the standards oflearning and training'. Many people wereregistered to these centers, but after six monthsneither the trainers nor trainees had any ideawhere to go from there. There was an appallinglack of quality and direction. 'These e-Learningcourses', says Mr. Ram Prakash, 'promise muchmore'. Understanding the immense potential ofthis service, students started registering. Theinitial lot of 12 registered students comprises about sixstudents and other High School and College Pass-outs,including a few graduates.Shankar Chandra is an inspiration.

Beyond the tiger which may soon turn out to be a conceptrather than reality Sunderbans is known for the Aila, the shoddy infrastructure, the lack of power, the absence of roads,bridges. The days are pregnant with occasional sounds and the nights are eerie. There's a strange lull in the air. All thissingularly or cumulatively doesn't create the image of a particularly habitable or desirable piece of land. Sunderbans ofAmitabh Ghosh's Hungry Tide or Gautam Ghosh's Padma Nodir Majhi isn't inviting at least not a place where one wouldthink of setting up business and making money.We, alongwith Mrs Meena Chaturvedi, CEO, e-Learning and Public Services of <strong>Sahaj</strong>, Shubhomoy Chatterjee a notedcolumnist and editor, Akangsha, a very enterprising student of journalism and an ardent photographer, who has taken allthese photographs, some <strong>Sahaj</strong> colleagues decided to test ground reality. In the land of the hungry tide, we wanted toexamine how hungry our VLEs were.What we saw was unbelievable but true. We visited <strong>Sahaj</strong> centres in different locations in remote Sunderbans whichwere remarkably well maintained, perhaps among the most well maintained CSCs one has seen in 11 states in India.The infrastructure was impressive and above all VLEs were doing brisk business. Its not that they didn't have challengesbut each <strong>Sahaj</strong> VLE we met were exhibiting an uncanny knack for entrepreneurship and had etched out their ownsuccess models. They had braved the Aila and their work was inspiring to say the least. If these CSCs lacked anything,these were G2C services. We met both men and women VLEs and the only thing common among them was their beliefin themselves and a confidence would pull it off.The VLEs we met that day - Rajib Chakraborty (Brajaballavpur), Minati Das (Brajaballavpur), Tapan Roy Chowdhury(Madhabnagar), Debasish Maiti (Durbachati) were candid that once they had decided to open <strong>Sahaj</strong> centres they weredetermined to make them a success. They didn't crib, they didn't complain, but they articulated how things could bemade better. We visited a centre in Durgachati which didn't have power and ran continuously on genset. The rathergood looking and qualified VLE (he should have been a film star) had over 70 e learning students. If that's not inspiring, Idon't know what is.<strong>Sahaj</strong> Sunderbans VLEs had redefined the benchmarks of success and their confidence and positive attitude wascommendable. It's just that they were away from the glare of mainstream media and they are not invited to egovernance seminars. At 8 pm, when we were planning our return, we had found new reasons to celebrate our VLEs,the effort of our field staff and we had found new reasons to work for <strong>Sahaj</strong>. Above all, we wondered why do we neede-governance seminars, board room meetings and strategy sessions to determine success formulas for our VLEs. VLEshad a contextual understanding of what worked for them. And they had their instincts. All we have to do is to keeplistening to them, work with them and work for them. Above all, we had to see what was happening on ground.- by Sumanta Pal<strong>Sahaj</strong> Setu • March 201114


Capacity Building's DiaryThe Power of Positive ThinkingPositive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into themind thoughts, words and images that are conductive togrowth, expansion and success. It is a mental attitude thatexpects good and favorable results. A positive mindanticipates happiness, joy, health and a successfuloutcome of every situation and action. Whatever themind expects, it finds.Not everyone accepts or believes in positive thinking.Some consider the subject as just nonsense, and othersscoff at people who believe and accept it. Among thepeople who accept it, not many know how to use iteffectively to get results. Yet, it seems that many arebecoming attracted to this subject, as evidenced by themany books, lectures and courses about it. This is a subjectthat is gaining popularity.It is quite common to hear people say: "Think positive!", tosomeone who feels down and worried. Most people donot take these words seriously, as they do not know whatthey really mean, or do not consider them as useful andeffective. How many people do you know, who stop tothink what the power of positive thinking means?The following story illustrates how this power works:Allan applied for a new job, but as his self-esteem was low,and he considered himself as a failure and unworthy ofsuccess, he was sure that he was not going to get the job.He had a negative attitude towards himself, and believedthat the other applicants were better and more qualifiedthan him. Allan manifested this attitude, due to hisnegative past experiences with job interviews.His mind was filled with negative thoughts and fearsconcerning the job for the whole week before the jobinterview. He was sure he would be rejected. On the day ofthe interview he got up late, and to his horror hediscovered that the shirt he had planned to wear was dirty,and the other one needed ironing. As it was already toolate, he went out wearing a shirt full of wrinkles.During the interview he was tense, displayed a negativeattitude, worried about his shirt, and felt hungry becausehe did not have enough time to eat breakfast. All thisdistracted his mind and made it difficult for him to focus onthe interview. His overall behavior made a bad impression,and consequently he materialized his fear and did not getthe job.Jim applied for the same job too, but approached thematter in a different way. He was sure that he was going toget the job. Duringthe week precedingthe interview heoften visualizedhimself making agood impressionand getting the job.In the eveningb e f o r e t h ei n t e r v i e w h ep r e p a r e d t h eclothes he wasgoing to wear, andwent to sleep a littleearlier. On day of Paromita Bhattacharyathe interview he VP - Capacity Building,<strong>Sahaj</strong>woke up earlier than usual, and had ample time to eatbreakfast, and then to arrive to the interview before thescheduled time.He got the job because he made a good impression. He hadalso of course, the proper qualifications for the job, but sohad Allan.What do we learn from these two stories? Is there any magicemployed here? No, it is all natural. When the attitude ispositive we entertain pleasant feelings and constructiveimages, and see in our mind's eye what we really want tohappen. This brings brightness to the eyes, more energyand happiness. The whole being broadcasts good will,happiness and success. Even the health is affected in abeneficial way. We walk tall and the voice is more powerful.Our body language shows the way you feel inside.Positive and negative thinking are both contagious.All of us affect, in one way or another, the people we meet.This happens instinctively and on a subconscious level,through thoughts and feelings transference, and throughbody language. People sense our aura and are affected byour thoughts, and vice versa. Is it any wonder that we wantto be around positive people and avoid negative ones?People are more disposed to help us if we are positive, andthey dislike and avoid anyone broadcasting negativity.Negative thoughts, words and attitude bring up negativeand unhappy moods and actions. When the mind isnegative, poisons are released into the blood, which causemore unhappiness and negativity. This is the way to failure,frustration and disappointment.<strong>Sahaj</strong> Setu • March 201115

<strong>Sahaj</strong> SuswasthyaSkin StructureWhat You Need To Know About ItThe skin is the largest organ of our body andcomprises of about 15 % of the total bodyweight. Skin is much more than a cover for thebody. Rather, it is an organ that has anindividuality of its own. Apart from shieldingthe internal organs and body tissues againstheat and cold, it also acts as a protectivebarrier against harmful bacteria from enteringthe body. Inspite of continued exposure, theskin reproduces and renews itself throughoutlife.The skin is comprised of three layersDermis, Epidermis and the SubcutaneousTissue.Epidermis: The Epidermis is the outermostlayer of the skin that is visible to the naked eye.It is made up of millions of tightly packed skincells.New skin cells are born in the epidermis. The newborn cells are round and plump. As they move outwards towards theskin surface, they get flattened. With time the dead skin cells accumulate on the outer surface of the skin, are shed andfurther replaced by new skin cells. This is an ongoing process of natural skin exfoliation. On an average, about 30,000-40,000 skin cells are shed every day.The Epidermis also contains Melanocytes, cells that are responsible for melanin production within the cell. Melanin is thesubstance that determines the tone of the skin. Darker people have more melanin while fairer people have less melanin intheir skin cells. One of the factors that increase the production of melanin is sunlight. Sun exposure accelerates melaninproduction and makes the epidermis darker. That is why it is always advisable to wear sunscreen while venturing out in thesun.You can try the iS Clinical SPF 20 Powder Sunscreen, a revolutionary powder sunscreen that contains physical UV blockerscomprising of 25% titanium dioxide and 20% zinc oxide. It is a special nanotechnology formulation provides sunprotection against a vast spectrum of sunlight. It is also very easy to apply.Because it is the outermost skin layer, the epidermis always remains exposed to environmental factors causing problemslike acne, sun damage and so on. The Epidermis is also the first to exhibit the effects of aging skin like wrinkles and finelines. in fact, almost all the signs of skin damage appear on the epidermis before it affects the body intrinsically.Dermis: The Dermis is the middle layer of the skin that contains collagen and elastin fibers, oil and sweat glands, nerveendings and blood vessels.The collagen and elastin tissues are responsible for maintaining the firmness and elasticity of the skin. while collagen acts asa natural cushion for the skin, elastin allows the skin to stretch and strain without tearing. These fibers are responsible forthe youthful appearance of the skin. When their levels begin to deplete, the skin starts developing wrinkles and fine lines.Also, the skin becomes dry and thin and begins to sag.<strong>Sahaj</strong> Setu • March 201118


Oil glands produce sebum, a substance that helps keep the skin lubricated. Also, when the body becomes too hot, the oilglands produce sweat in order to regulate the body temperature and cool down. Likewise, nerve endings that are presentin the dermis layer register sensations like pain, heat etc.Another factor that influences the Dermis is the effect of the ultraviolet radiations of the sun. The UVB rays affect theepidermis. However, the UVA radiations are of a different wavelength and penetrate the skin causing damage to theDermis layer.Use something like the Obagi C-Sunguard SPF 30. It is a superb sunscreen that contains ultra-sheer Z-Cote, an effectivebarrier that provides superior protection against UVA as well as UVB rays of the sun that are responsible for prematureaging of the skin.Subcutaneous Tissue: The subcutaneous layer is the bottom-most layer of the skin that connects it to the musclemembranes.These tissues make-up a highly elastic layer of skin that contains cushioning fat cells. It protects the bones and internalorgans from damage. It insulates the heat, keeps the body warm and cushions any abrupt shocks. This layer also containshair follicles, which are small openings from where the hair begins to grow.<strong>Sahaj</strong> Setu • March 201119

External WindowAER Youth Regional NetworkAssembly of European Regions set up the AERYouth Regional Network (YRN) conceived as ac o m m o n p l a t f o r m o f y o u t h r e g i o n a lorganisations/councils/parliaments on regionallevel in Europe. This platform is a forum fordiscussion and exchange of experience betweenyoungsters across all the European Regions. Theidea is to bring together young people fromEuropean Regions and give them an opportunity toexchange, to share ideas, experiences, differences,hopes, fears, and problems and to find togethersolutions to their problems or fears. The networkallows putting into practice the EU principle ofsubsidiarity in the field of youth policy.In a globalise world and in a Europe more andmore willing to get closer to its citizens youth issues are a subject of great importance.It is an obvious thing to say that young people are the future. But this must be repeated because it seems to be too oftenforgotten that indeed, the future of a village or a town, of a Region or a country, the future of Europe or of the world itself issecured be the young people.The participation of young people in all aspects of life is crucial precisely because young people are affected by the decisionsmade by governments, whether at a Regional, national or inter/trans-national level. Policy areas such as housing,environment, transport and education, to name but a few, have a direct impact on the lives of youngsters just as much as onthose of the adults.The world of today is just as much the concern of young people as the world of tomorrow. To deny the young people oftoday the opportunity to participate in the governance of society is to deny them the right to affect what happens aroundthem and impact on their future destiny.Europe is not only a continent of countries but also a continent of Regions. In all aspects of life certain issues are bettersolved at different levels of government (local, Regional, national or European). It is therefore crucial to allow youngpeople to involve in the management of these issues at all levels.There are various youth councils/organisations/parliaments/associations at national or European level, but less on Regionallevel. The degree of organisation and the presence of such youth organisations depend of course on the specific nationalconditions and traditions of political participation and civic culture. The Regional participatory democracy is obviouslymore developed in countries with an advanced civic and political culture of the population and where Regions have astrong degree of autonomy. This trend is less visible in more centralized countries (but there are of course exceptions, in theScandinavian countries) with a more diminished democratic experience (especially the ex-communist countries).However, some practical aspects of day-to-day life might concern the Regional level more then other tiers of government(for instance: environment, secondary schools, youth unemployment in the Regions, social inclusion, gender imbalances:according to the competencies of the Regions in each country). This might be of the young people's concern as well, reasonfor which they should be given the opportunity to have a say on the issues they consider important. Moreover, allowingthem to meet young people from other European Regions might help them to better identify their common concerns andproblems, to contextualise their specific problems and eventually, to inspire them to find appropriate solutions for theseproblems.<strong>Sahaj</strong> Setu • March 201122


Because it fully understands the stakes of this policy in the long run, the AER is committed to pay more attention toyouth issues.The AER project 'AER Regional Youth Network' (YRN) creates a newopportunity for young people to have a say on issues of their concern atregional level. Even if different sub-regional groupings of youthorganisations in Europe exist, the AER initiative is singular because of itswide area of coverage at pan-European level. With member Regions fromalmost all the countries of Europe (not only EU member states) and due tothe gained experience, the motivation and the know-how of its team, theAER potential to foster such a project is real and convincing. In fact, the AERhas important experiences in developing projects and organising events todevelop the Regional dimension of this particular policy.Source: Assembly of European Regions websiteSolutionsSudoku Solution2 1 4 8 6 7 5 9 33 9 7 5 1 4 2 8 66 5 8 2 9 3 4 7 11 4 5 3 2 9 7 6 89 7 3 4 8 6 1 2 58 6 2 1 7 5 9 3 47 3 1 6 5 2 8 4 94 8 9 7 3 1 6 5 25 2 6 9 4 8 3 1 7Crossword SolutionW H A R F P A I N F U LAGERPA R B A G EIO C K SOLGA C T U A LBSOLVICA M U R A IOI V IEBE A S I E S TIDGESDRECMPEA R N E S TILS A L MMF L A W E DOIIEA G R E EO R RA R L I E RT E OA D D E R<strong>Sahaj</strong> Setu • March 201123
