Project Goal:

To study how people (contributors) “think in enlightened self-interest”

Enlightened Self Interest

Enlightened self-interest is a behavior

based on awareness that what is in the

public interest is eventually in the interest

of all individuals and groups

The principle of enlightened self-interest takes

into account Two parts:

You place your own interests first.

You keep in mind that your own interests

will be best served if you take into

account the interests of others

When an individual pursues enlightened self interest that person may sacrifice short-term interests in order to maximize long-term interests.

life". "Whatever I learnt at IIT has stayed with

me .. the entire culture, environment has laid

the foundation in my life... and I am very

grateful to my alma mater ".

JANLOKPAL BILL

Jan Lokpal bill movement actually started when Anna Hazare started a fast at JantarMantar on 5 April 2011.

This got support from all over the country and government was forced to form a joint drafting committee for Lokpal Bill.

Arvind Kejriwal along with PrashantBhushan, Shanti Bhushan, SantoshHegde and Kiran Bedi drafted Jan Lokpal Bill.

ENTRY IN POLITICS Due to differences with Anna Hazare and Kiran

Bedi, Kejriwal became active in matters of politics.

Anna even told Kejriwal not to use his name for

political purposes.

However, Anna later met Kejriwal along with social

activist Manish Sisodia on October 2 and retaliated

by saying that even though their ways were

different, their goals were the same.
