The Newsletter
The Tarnaka Times is the
monthly newsletter of the The Standing Committee of Tarnaka Residents’ Welfare
Associations (SCOWTRA), which is a conglomeration of 18 Resident Welfare
Associations (RWA)s.
The Tarnaka Times is a collaborative effort of
the SCOWTRA, the United federation of RWAs (UFERWAS), the International
Foundation for Human Development (IFHD), and the Forum for Senior Citizens.
Since 2001 the SCOTRWA has been addressing
community level issues through citizen participation and has emerged as a
trendsetter in urban self-management in the city of Hyderabad under the
stewardship of its Founding President Dr. Rao V B J Chelikani.
Even though its immediate sphere of operations
is within the geographical area of the 100th Ward of the Greater Hyderabad
Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and neighbouring colonies, the SCOWTRA’s is global
in outlook and concerns itself with all issue of Civil Society.
In a unique initiative towards better community
communication, the SCOWTRA has been publishing the monthly newsletter Tarnaka
Times in print since the year 2000 covering news and developments not just in
and around Tarnaka and RWAs from across the country including New Delhi and
Mumbai. So much so, it is today recognised as a unique and path-breaking
experiment in community messaging.
