I think Rahul Gandhi should initiate and with personal accountability lead 1 or 2 pan-India social projects. NOT MORE than 2 otherwise he will spread himself thin.
Projects should be such that,
a) They MUST be of ongoing nature; even weekly implementation is ok but certainly NOT SPORADIC in nature
b) These projects should touch the lives of Indians in a direct way
c) These projects shoud become the CONGRESS touch point towards the citizens of India; This will solve the age old problem of POLITICIANS appearing once in 5 years
d) they NEED to be branded in the same way across INDIA; maybe under the Indian Youth Congress or AICC banner but certainly NOT regional Congress outfits.
e) The reporting structure and his personal involvement will increase his (Rahul G) touch points with various grassroot workers
f) This will be a brilliant way of assimilating a humongous database about the CURRENT tidings from the different parts of India.
