Build India Group or BIG is an ever rising group of campaigners drawn from diverse backgrounds primarily law and journalism and united in their mission to fight corruption and terrorism.


Pledge Festival:
The Build India Group believes that a National Pledge could be a unique instrument to promote the unity and integrity of the country and building a strong bulwark against the growing tide of corruption, terrorism and other anti-national activities. This will not only ostracize anti-Indian elements from society but also create a swelling surge of hatred against corruption from within our society and promote a rejuvenated and healthy work culture.
However for the National Pledge to have its desired effect, it has to be a national festival to be celebrated simultaneously all over the country. India does not have a national pledge worthy of name. India does not have a national festival other than two national festivals January 26 and August 15, which are being celebrated as official functions.
Millions of us go to temples, mosques and churches every day. Can we not spend just a few minutes in the name of this country for this Pledge? BIG shall endeavour to ensure that we can. That is why it is a mass movement, a reformist campaign and a nation-building force rolled into one. If all Indians join hands for a moment pledging their love and loyalty to the country for just a few minutes in unison, they can change the fate of the nation!!
This pledge is working. The core members of the Build India Group took the pledge in unison after a symbolic ringing of bell on January 19, 2008 at 10.O.clock and decided to hold the pledge festival on the third Saturday of every English calendar year. Subsequently the pledge has been recited in unison in various forums across the country and people have vouched for its electrifying effect.


The Roadmap for Pledge Festival:
The roadmap of making the Pledge festival pan India involves first bringing on board the organized communities such as lawyers and students. For example, we have about 10 lakh advocates in this country. Earlier when Bar Council of India used to give a strike call, lawyers across the country would abstain from work. Can the same Bar Council of India today give a call to the lawyers across the country to take a pledge for the country? The pledge has been drafted keeping in view our fundamental duties enshrined in the constitution. If lawyers and students unite for a cause, it would be a formidable campaign and governments of the day too will sit up and take notice.
The next and most significant step will be to involve all religious institutions. Most people, irrespective of their religions and faiths, are god-fearing. Religious leaders exert tremendous amount of influence on their followers and faiths. We all agree that for the last thousand years, religions have been used to create walls of hate among communities and faiths. Now time has come, can we ask all the religious leaders to give a call to their respective communities and use the institution of “Gods” for the pledge festival: a festival of commitment of all individuals to the country? BIG is sure no “God” will say “No” to such a proposition. Only people representing vested interests can at the most afford to say “No”. In case they do so, public at large shall take on them.
If people are ordained by these religious institutions to commit and practice their love and loyalty to the country, it will usher in a revolution that will have far-reaching benefits for our land. That ultimate consequence is BIG’s dream. Let all religious institutions in unison bring in the sanctimonious moment by ensuring that bells ring, cymbals crash and drums beat from temple precincts, sirens blow from Masjids and bells chime from the Churches. Let all other religious institutions join in such a movement. Let even the unlettered know that this is the time to think for the country.


University of Politics
Another objective that BIG is working towards is setting up of a University of Politics. BIG believes in a democracy like India, hating politics is a crime. We have given a constitution to ourselves. We just cannot shirk our responsibility and abuse politicians on charges of corruption. India should have a University of Politics as politics is the finest form of management. The main thrust of the study, besides economics and management, will be Unit Area Management System. The idea is that each panchayat has got some natural resources and proper management of resources in that very area should be sufficient to cater to the need of people of that area so far as health care, education and the means of livelihood of that area are concerned.
We believe, there should be a continuous study and experimentation, which should be taken from the lab to the land so that the urban-rural gap could be abridged. If you agree with this view or if you can enrich our thought by taking these ideas to people and reach out to masses in your own way, please join hands and be a campaigner …A BIG Campaigner.

Thus BIG is a movement and a mission and the BIG slogan is :

"LOVE YOUR NATION; HATE CORRUPTION, DEFEAT TERRORISM".
