> Re: NRA? Are they useful? It seems to be a royal mess (judging from "bor deuta" analyses of the situation).
The question could, however, be "Can NRAs do something more?" and not whether NRAs are useful or not. IMHO, NRAs, with their combined limited resources, have done quite a lot over the years. Their efforts may not look 'BIG' in the grand scheme of things, but the fact is they have come thru at times - be it giving a helping hand during floods, or collecting money for a cause. The 2 major organizations in the US have undertaken numerous projects over the years. I don't know how successful these projects have been, but the fact is NRAs have taken issues seriously enough, to cause at least a small positive change. --Ram On 6/23/05, Santanoo Medhi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > weel said "bor deuta > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: umesh sharma > To: [email protected] > Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2005 12:22 PM > Subject: [Assam] Re: NRA?
