Name Your Project

The Village Reality Show

What is your idea? What makes it innovative? Why is it important?

74% of Indians live in 638365 different villages Most of them have access to television. It would be good if we could reach out to these people using themselves as a medium to be a part of a reality show to address basic problems.

Will you launch your idea as a business or non-profit?

Non-profit

Country your work focuses on

India

What will be the impact of your idea? 

The reality show can be divided in to two parts – Part 1 will address the problem such as day to day problems and Part 2 will be about solving the problem… issues within the community would be addressed and would reach out to millions of people worldwide creating awareness not only amongst the less privileged but also creating awareness amongst the richer classes of society.

According to C.K.Prahalad, contrary to the popular view, BOP (bottom of the pyramid) consumers are getting connected and networked. They are rapidly exploiting the benefits of information networks. If we can stop thinking of the poor as victims or as a burden and start recognizing them as resilient and creative entrepreneurs and value- conscious consumers, a whole new world of opportunity can open up. Four billion poor can be the engine of the next round o global trade and prosperity. They can be a source of innovation.

Also we can get the private sector involved through advertising of their products on these reality shows which in turn would provide funding for the reality shows – win – win scenario for both!

Who will help you develop your idea? Why are you the one to make this happen?

The media industry. Production houses who will be approached to dicsuss the format of the reality show. aboutpeople will be the one to make this happen as I have been actively involved in the field of PR for the last 5 years which has included PR of celebrities, films, TV channels and charity organizatinos such as 'Pratham' - eradicating illiteracy amongst lesser priviliged children in India thus giving me easier access to the media industry.

How much will it cost to launch your idea? (This can be an estimate)

The costs involved would hopefully be covered by advertising as a source of funding and would depend intially on the number of villages and pariticpants.
