Here are potential responses to your questions:

Unite - A Platform to Empower Civic EngagementAjinkya Pawar
This document outlines Ajinkya Pawar's proposal to build a secure digital platform called "Unite" to enable meaningful civic participation and organization. The platform would use blockchain and AI technologies to allow users to securely communicate, coordinate, conduct online referendums, fact-check information, and plan and track community initiatives across multiple organizations. Pawar believes rising issues like climate change, inequality and xenophobia require new ways for people to come together and influence policies, companies and neighborhoods in a transparent, empowering manner. The document provides details on how the proposed Unite platform would work and envisions it helping reduce precarity, isolation and propaganda by making users less like "flotsam" and more in control of their lives

2. MISSION!
Right to Inclusivity
To provide the non-voting under eighteen population of
India a platform to voice their opinions, so that their ideas
and concerns are heard, considered, and eventually
implemented.
VISION
18minus dreams of a world that is democratic in the truest
sense - one in which children have platform and the power to make
decisions on issues which affect them.
WHO WE ARE
18minus comprises the non-voting population of the world’s
largest democracy. We are the motherland’s children and
we feel that there is no minimum age before which we can
start fulfilling our duties towards the nation.
!18minus refers to and represents each and every Indian
citizen under the age of eighteen, and by definition, that
makes us the largest neo-political organisation in the world, as
over 44% of India’s population are legal minors.
!
Criterion #1!
MEASURABLE AND PROVEN IMPACT
!18minus, as a youth organisation recognises that in
order to make change, in order to empower- the
necessity of a measurable impact is imperative.
Project #18minusTalks
EXECUTION!
18minus Talks is a project to encourage the youth to pursue
insightful discussion. The debates we organised garnered a lot of
response - both online and offline. Children not only actively partook
in various discussion, but also came to a consensus and proposed
valuable suggestions to the problems at hand. !
18minus was also a youth partner to various debates and
discussions across the city, including The Bait 2014 - a nationwide
debate organised by the The National Debate Club, Chennai.!
!IMPACT!
✓The immediate impact was that children started making
calculated and well-informed decisions on our social forums.!
✓Creating a bigger ripple effect, almost all of our students
curated debates on their own social network, increasing their
change quotient.!
✓Over 75% of the teams participating in the Bangalore edition of The
Bait had at least one member who was a current member of the
18minus XLR8 program. In fact, 2 out of the 4 members of the
winning team from Bangalore were a part of the program, and
not surprisingly, they went on to win the national finals and
become the Champions of the country.
Criterion #2!
COMMUNITY RESOURCES
!18minus believes in expending all possible community
resources to achieve our vision keeping in the mind that
the environment, society or economy isn’t harmed.
18minus XRL8 Revenue Model
EXECUTION!
Owing to India’s massive population, 18minus believes in taking
nominal payments from its customers - the legal minors - because
the net income generated is integrated over a big scale. 18minus
XLR8 is an online ecosystem for students to educate them regarding
the understanding of nuances of politics, addressing social issues and
managing finances for their organizations.!
Registration is through a nominal fee of just 2 cents! Students will
have access to a forum to express their opinion and propose
solutions to topics of interest. If their opinion or solution “makes sense”,
then other members have the option to “like” it to show their support.
We gauge our impact using our own index, the change quotient.
(CQ). An increase in the number of likes is a sign of an increasing
CQ, and hence the student is provided opportunity to join the next
tier and assimilate with articulate thinkers.!
!INCOME!
✓In the first 12 months itself, 18minus makes over 37,750$ dollars
ONLY from the XLR8 program
th the 18minus population.)!
✓The operational cost for running the XLR8 Model is 5000$ (website
hosting, Apache servers, CSS developers and portability
programmers.)
Project #StopThisFelony
EXECUTION!
Our #StopThisFelony campaign united urban India as they came
together to fight the heinous crime of rape. Teenagers were asked to
send in their opinion, which was then compiled and sent to the
Bangalorean Parliament as the official Voice of the Youth.!
!IMPACT!
✓The immediate impact was that people’s rage and anger
manifested into something tangible and constitutionally valid.!
✓Our empowered volunteers took one step further, and played an
important role in organising protest marches and petition signing
drives!!
✓The biggest impact however, was that the state government paid
attention to our marches and released an official statement with
strict guidelines that schools must follow to ensure safety of children.
Children rise through this pyramid. The higher they are, the
more outreach they have, and as a result, the more they
pay.
3. 18minus Voices
EXECUTION!
18minus believes that the biggest and most expandable community
resource is that of opinion. Opinions and ideas are infinite and are
not limited by religion, caste, creed, etc. An idea cannot be killed and
18minus believes that utilisation of the opinion of people and of ideals
is the biggest strength that lies within the community. !
!This is why 18minus is a trailblazer in high school debates and think
tanks, promoting and proliferating intellectual participation.!
!INCOME!
✓For sponsoring an inter-school debate with a participating crowd of
20 teams of 4 students each, we received a registration fee 10$ per
team, without any sponsorship.!
✓Our operational expenses (location logistics, auditorium acoustics,
printing t-shirts, publicity, brochures) together came up to 130$.
Criterion #3!
SUSTENANCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP
Our organisation is a business that strives to meet
a triple bottom line to ensure minimal negative
impact on the environment, the society and the
economy.
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY!
18minus believes in reducing the carbon footprint by going paperless
and using electronic correspondence wherever possible. !
Project #18minusGreen
EXECUTION!
Under this project, we created notebooks out of unused notebooks
and blank paper that would have been unnecessarily discarded.
We go to schools at the beginning of every academic year, and ask
students to give us their old notebooks.!
!Our volunteers then removed the unused paper, which is stitched by
local cobblers to create 100 page notebooks, which are then sold to
government schools for a nominal fee.!
!IMPACT!
✓ A better alternative to recycling as machine processing is not
required.!
✓ There is empowerment of poor cobblers - an impetus to the local
economy.!
✓ This promotes primary education of underprivileged and poor
children.!
✓ We sold 100 notebooks for 1$ each.!
✓ The sources of expenditure were limited to getting the pages
stitched.
Project #ClotheOurChildren
EXECUTION!
In this project, we aimed to provide low cost-environment friendly
blankets to street children - with reflective tape stuck onto it to
provide oncoming traffic a precautionary warning. Old clothes
and plastic bags were collected from a community drive and stitched
by local tailors, to create an insulating and water resistant blanket
that could also be used a temporary tent or roof to provide shelter in
the monsoon season.!
!IMPACT!
✓ Reusing plastic bags not only reduced land pollution but also
prevented flooding due to clogging of drains.!
✓ Much needed warmth and comfort was provided to street
children.!
✓ The reflective tape protected them from oncoming traffic and
accidental deaths. Street children felt more confident, and we
then gave them free vocational training for better
employment opportunities.
SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY!
The very foundation of 18minus is to give back to the community
directly by volunteering, and also indirectly by encouraging people and
organizations to give charitable donations.!
#18minusConnect
18minus encourage community service as it makes use of local
geographical and cultural conditions, making the solution of a
problem more impactful and area-centric. Moreover, it acts as an
opportunity for emotional bonding with local people and the
environment.!
!CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY!
18minus has developing a cohesive and coherent partnership with
other like minded organizations and entities - like the Bangalore
Political Action Committee and the Janaagraha Centre for Citizenship
and Democracy - which leads to knowledge sharing and experience
shouldering - two essential processes for achieving our dream of an
inclusive government.!
Criterion #4!
SUCCESSION AND DYNAMICS
The central administration of the organisation lies in
the hands of people under the age of 18. However,
once these people do attain the age of 18, the
administration moves on to the subordinates- the next
generation.
18minus Ripple
EXECUTION!
In less than 4 months of operation, 18minus has 48 core members,
across three countries directly working for the organisation. They were
all instructed to undertake Project Ripple, which was to create an
18minus vibe in their cities and encourage students to join the
movement.!
!IMPACT!
✓Project Ripple was a big success as over 100 students all across the
world volunteered to help us realise our mission is some form or the
other.
GREEN NOTEBOOKS!
Given above is a photo of one
of the notebooks made. It has a
cover which is itself made of a
newspaper. The 18minus logo,
is written clearly in green ink
for easy identification.
NEWSPAPER BAGS!
Simple bags made out of old
newspapers will be sold to residential
colonies. Sanitary and other domestic
waste will be specially disposed using
these paper bags, and as they are
marked with a red cross, it will help in
waste segregation.
4. Succession Plan
EXECUTION!
The aim of 18minus is to create a fully functional body called the!
18minus Parliament which would be the Official Voice of the Youth!
and take all decisions pertaining to the interest of the youth. This!
parliament is to consist of the 250 brightest minds in the country.!
!Since a certain fraction of these 250 teenagers will turn 18 every!
year, they will be replaced by younger deserving children - thus!
keeping the 18minus ecosystem dynamic and fresh.!
!
Growth and Globalisation!
EXECUTION!
18minus is currently operating in the city of Bangalore. We plan to
expand to the four metropolises by October, and reach out to over
100,000 students nationwide by next May. Over the course of the
next five years, we plan to expand within the country and reach 1
million members by May 2016. By the 2019 India National Election,
we want to maintain a consistent reach of 1 million and more new
members every year, and Go Global, targeting Singapore and the
United States of America to start with.!
!Essentially, the 18minus XLR8 model can be replicated in new
settings of any country which wants to explore the role of their
children in nation building, especially in underdeveloped and
developing countries.!
