Frequently Asked Questions about New Madurai Foundation

What is New Madurai?

New Madurai is a non-profit organization formed for bringing together good hearts and well-wishers from all over the world online for the improvement of Madurai and its people in various dimensions and in all possible ways. We are a registered organization - New Madurai Foundation.

Why is New Madurai needed?
There is always some scope for improvement in any place in the world, even if it is New York. But there is lot to do in any place in India. Especially Madurai has lot of potential and it is not being tapped and it is not improved for various reasons. We have started to think globally and trying to act locally. That is why we have chosen Madurai. So in order to improve Madurai, we have found New Madurai Foundation, which will help for the smooth transition of Madurai into New Madurai.

Why the name New Madurai?
We wanted to make the existing Madurai into New Madurai. To an international well-wisher, it makes more sense as New Madurai, rather than Pudhiya Madurai. Also we want to make Madurai like a significant place in the world like New York. So we found New Madurai apt enough for our foundation and also for our mission.

Why are we newmadurai.org, instead of newmadurai.com?
Since we are a Non-Profit organization (NPO), Non-governmental organization(NGO), and not a commercial organization, we thought www.newmadurai.org is the right URL and not www.newmadurai.com. Even this conveys the purpose of our organization. http://www.newmadurai.in

A project does not mean that it has to be a huge one, it can be a small documentation task also, which might involve small research. You can spend 1 hour in a week (at the least) from wherever you are and whatever you are doing and help us server better.
