Global TV invites indivituals and institutions to make use of the Time Bank Concept with Large Social Interventions. Let our time and experience abe be utilised well for our advantage and for the advantage of the larger society. let us dedicate a portion of our time for the poor and needy.
Time Bank: A Novel Approach to Community Building
Time Bank is a popular concept practiced extensively across the world. The idea is to make better use of the time of a number of people that may otherwise go unutilised or underutilized. There are different practices like community service, senior care etc. performed under the theme of Time Bank. Spent time now and get equal time back when you need it is one way of Time Banking.
We will be surprised when we consider the evolution of Money Banking and place time in place of the money factor. Valuation and exchange of time as a means to enhance communities and society at large is a great idea. Much like conventional banks are custodians of wealth, Time Banks serve as platforms where individuals pledge their time for the greater good. Here’s a closer look at the essence of Time Bank, Time Banking, and the role of a Time Banker.
Time Banking: Leveraging Time for Social Transformation
Time Banking, the core principle behind Time Bank, is a dynamic system based on reciprocity and community engagement. In this model, members pledge a specific number of hours, and these hours become a currency that can be traded for assistance or services within the community. The driving force of Time Banking is the belief that everyone’s time has essential value, and by contributing it to others, we can collectively address societal challenges. This approach fosters a sense of shared responsibility and cooperation within communities. We can do something with time when it is pooled collectively.
Time Banker: You have a Role in Shaping a Better Society
A Time Banker is an active participant in this transformative process. As a Time Banker, you commit a certain number of hours to coordinate and utilize the Time Bank network. These hours can be utilized to visualise and actualize outcomes with use of the time given by fellow members for various tasks or projects.
The key role of a Time Banker is not merely to accumulate hours but to actively engage people (Time investors) with their community. Collective sharing of the skills, and coordinated way of time utilization will contribute outcomes to the betterment of society. Time Bankers can play major roles in building a strong, interconnected, and interdependent community where exchange of time fosters trust and collaboration. Time is effectively used for individual and social good.
Time Banking: Creating innovative ideas for wealth creation along with bridging the Gap between Creative Solutions and Social Challenges
Time Banking extends beyond individual gain and underscores the importance of community building. It encourages inclusivity by welcoming individuals of diverse backgrounds and age groups, recognizing that everyone possesses valuable skills and knowledge. The impact of Time Banking transcends personal enrichment; it cultivates creativity, coexistence, and a profound sense of responsibility toward one’s community.
By mobilizing individuals to work collectively, Time Banking endeavours to bridge the divide between innovative solutions and persistent social challenges, thereby shaping a more harmonious and prosperous society.
Time Bank, Time Banking, and Time Bankers represent an innovative and inclusive approach to community development and social transformation. Let us harness the essential value of time and the power of collaboration to create a positive impact, emphasizing the interconnectedness of individuals within communities and their potential to effect meaningful change.

Global TV Welcomes Chief Editors at Six Levels: Revolutionizing Media at every level of Social Entrepreneurship | Great Opportunity
In today’s rapidly evolving digital age, the media landscape is undergoing profound transformations. Global TV is now offering you the chance to play a pivotal role in this transformative process. With the introduction of Chief Editors at six distinct levels, Global TV is aimed to revolutionize the media’s role in connecting people across the globe. The main objective is to harness the power of media coverage to ignite a spirit of collective cooperation within societies. More than merely presenting news to the world, we present remarkable success stories from all across the world so as to foster a sense of connection among individuals and their closely-knit communities. Through this innovative approach, Global TV seeks to redefine journalism, ensuring that news about success stories and achievements is reported with the highest ethical and professional standards and a global perspective. Our goal is to use media coverage to inspire collective collaboration within societies.
Global TV Welcomes you to become one of its Chief Editors | Six levels are identified for your convenience |
Level 1: Global Chief Editors
At the highest level, Global TV collaborates with Global Chief Editors who oversee the ways and means to connect societies on a global scale. These seasoned Editors bring invaluable experience and vision to the table, ensuring that global collaboration possible for local societies. Every society should get due attention it deserves in the global landscape. With their keen understanding of international affairs and events, they make sure that Global TV remains a reliable mediator and a credible source of human relationships.
Level 2: National Chief Editors
Knowing the heart of the nation is very important for the National Chief Editors. They should drive the society towards a new perspective. There should be enormous efforts to harness the possibilities for inter state economic dynamics.
New thinking has to emerge. Every possibility in economic development should become human centric. We should work with a deep understanding of local economic dynamics. National Chief Editors should ensure that the maximum number of people are involved in every development processes. New ideas should emerge at every possibility in the country.
National Chief Editors should possess ability to identify roles and possibilities of national importance. Global TV being a connecting media will provide in-depth coverage and connectivity on every initiative taken by the National Chief Editors. In fact, National Chief Editors act on their on on issues, ranging from economy to culture and social developments. One area that we abstain from getting into is politics. Global TV welcome National Chief Editors with all political affiliations. Only condition is to abstain from politicizing the media space. Keep everyone together in the process of development and equitable sharing of every outcome.
National Chief Editors for example can take up initiatives to promote new roles in various segments. Say, for promoting Tourism Ambassadors and Tourism Guides. There is a possibility of about 100 people to get into various new roles in tourism sector in every city in India. There are about 4,000 cities in India. Imagine 4,00,000 people becoming part of a National Tourism Development Campaign? There can be National Chief Editors for every hundred of them. Meaning, there can be about 4,000 National Chief Editors in India focusing mainly in Tourism Sector along with other Media Initiatives. Global TV branding is a campaign by itself.
Level 3: Zonal Chief Editors
Zooming in on specific geographic zones, the Zonal Chief Editors add contextual relevance to the Media Campaigns. They are responsible for ensuring that every zone is represented appropriately in every National Campaign. It is like giving pillars between spaces in a large building. The beauty is in the freedom in every operation. Zonal Chief Editors will have access to the entire team in their zone even when they are not directly connected with entire team. The idea is to keep every initiatives informed with every member in the zone. Zonal Chief Editors will tailor make the preferences according to the needs of different regions within their Zones. They will give every initiatives a personal touch by highlighting local events, traditions, and concerns. They will establish a strong connection between the people who are otherwise divided in the name of various logical and illogical denominations.
Level 4: Regional Chief Editors
Regional Chief Editors give shape for initiatives that are close to every state and language, Regional Chief Editors step in to cover regional camps and campaigns. Each of them will work with one another staying closely connected to local communities. They unearth possibilities that would otherwise go unnoticed. Initiatives on issues at the grassroots level is very important. Regional Chief Editors should capture the attention of entire Global TV team on issues pertaining to the regional dynamics. They make Global TV to get into regional development process and making each of them national or global campaigns. No one is placed under anyone but everyone is placed on a ground of connectivity.
Next three levels are more inter connected and interdependent. It goes on a non hierarchical connectivity for the purpose of freedom and independence.
Level 5: District Chief Editors
District Chief Editors play a vital role in bringing people globally together. People from the district who are living across the world get connected through the intervention of the Chief Editors. They are the eyes and ears of Global TV in their respective districts. They are the connecting link between people who are successful across the world and the people who need their support.
Action Journalism that we practice will tell about the stories that impact the everyday lives of the people. By focusing on success stories, they ensure that every people from the districts are in touch with their people in their native places. Chief Editors will be trained about Global TV’s commitment to comprehensive and responsible reporting in various camps organized around tourism destinations.
Level 6: Taluk Chief Editors
At the deeper level, Global TV empowers Taluk Chief Editors to make meaningful transformations in their respective societies. Their focus is to connect between the Chief Editors at various levels.
The unsung heroes of the Taluk are presented to the world through journalism innovations. Programs are organized in the Taluk and District Headquarters to honor achievers. These are done with coordination between Chief Editors at all levels.
Shedding light on the challenges faced by rural communities and bringing the attention of the larger societies is an important function of Global TV. Actually, we are identifying the possibilities to address the challenges and to convert them and celebrating their triumphs. Global TV highlights the ways and means for a collateral connectivity between various levels of a society.
Level 7: Village Chief Editors
At the bottom line of the action journalism pyramid is the Village Chief Editors. Plenty of Micro Economic Systems are developed with the help of experts in various segments. These are practical road maps to bring more light and bright life for the village fraternity.
Engaging the village society into value addition and value creation is the primary focus of Village Chief Editors. They will identify the people who are engaged in leadership and enterprising roles. Village Chief Editors can also get into leadership roles in organizing events and initiatives for the benefit of the village society.
A Great Possibility at Micro Economic Systems:
Coming together itself is success when it happens to be a collective and collaborative venture. It empowers people and encourage them to take advantage of a large scale intervention. Fifty thousand Tourism Guides in India is just an example. There are 4,000 Cities in India. A group of people in a city connected with a tourism coordinator can make it a primary revenue source. It will create opportunity for about 100 Tourism Guides and 10 Tourism Coordinators in a district. Global TV Editors can take advantage of either by directly enagaging in the process or leading a team that is engaged in the process.
Chief Editors should make sure that there is an equitable and legitimate system that is encouraging for people to become part of such initiatives. There are many other sectors like tourism sector that require such collective intervention. Chief Editors are in a way Innovators and Leaders in the transformation Process. It is a silent work in fact. What you do otherwise being a responsible citizen is done with a revenue system. Let your revenue come from the services that you are providing for the people.
Revenue Models in Media Space:
Media itself is a huge revenue possibility. Global TV Head Quarters can help you to make documentary films etc. about successful people from your village, city, district etc. There can be professional charges collected for the documentary films and other creative innovations. Think about unique programs. We can save money since we do large scale processing. Fifty percent of the surplus funds are equally distributed between Global TV, respective Chief Editors, and whoever become part of the process.
We shall also get into Referral Networking on Tourism, Insurance, Investment and any other relevant areas. Innovation is a great possibility. Time Bank is another focus that we can collectively nurture very well.
Global TV’s decision to welcome Chief Editors at six levels signifies a paradigm shift in positive probing and success story reporting. By providing comprehensive coverage at all levels, Global TV ensures that no success story goes untold. Through this revolutionary approach, Global TV aims to connect with large number non residents who are eager to get connected and valued at their native places. We can grow faster and better when we think in deeper level, reflecting on to the aspirations, concerns, and beliefs of people and societies.
Global TV continues to redefine journalism. We remain committed to delivering accurate, unbiased, and impactful success stories of the successful people around the globe. With the expertise and passion of our Chief Editors, we shape a new future in positive probing in the digital era. We are setting new benchmarks for excellence in journalism. The theory of Appreciative Inquiry and Positive Probing are areas to be explored to be understood as well.

By Tilak Mishra with NV Paulose +91 98441 82044
Youth at large should focus on efforts to create new career roles that are helpful to develop vitality and equality in the larger society. Tourism and Media are two interconnected areas that have great potential to strengthen the entire economy with massive career promotion and community development programs. Youth and Students can extensively work from internship to entrepreneurship in the process of Creating and developing New Career Roles.
Tourism Ambassadors and Tourism Guides are the two promising roles that we can promote extensively both in career and entrepreneurship models. These are models that can promote an average opportunity for about hundred people in a city in India. There are about 4,000 cities in India today. These careers can be taken up at a very basic level of referrals to an entrepreneurship model. These are roles to promote and establish regular link between the organised and the unorganised sector in tourism and media. The entire process can be oriented in line with our commitment towards the economically weaker sections.

Global TV envisions establishment of these two distinct career roles in a large scale. “Tourism Ambassadors” and “Tourism Guides” are roles that are tailored to enhance the experiences of tourists and travellers. These roles will transform the way we travel even within our country. Guides are an inevitable part in the tourism process everywhere in the world. We cannot explore a nation without the help of a tourism company and the guide accompanying our team. Going casually and coming back usually cannot be called as tourism exploration. Even local languages and practices are required to be coordinated proper.
Creation of career roles as mentioned above will enhance entire tourism sector across India. Forming a team at every city is important. Connecting between cities through media circles is also important. Informality and flexibility are the key words very difficult for many people to understand. Responsible freedom will transform our tourism and media economics enormously.
Establishment of the industry should be the target. Establishing a company and placing everyone and everything under it is a limiting factor. This factor is also very difficult to explain and establish. We should do our role and allow others to play their role. Work under me is a wrong concept. Successful people try for it extensively very often. Give option to everyone. Unit leadership is a great idea. Take leadership and responsibility of the activity that you are initiating.
Such a movement will give opportunity for every person. Let everyone to come to leadership roles. Let everyone to take as much each one can handle and manage. In other words, let people bite as much they can chew. Countries are poor not because there is dearth of hardworking people there. It is because of the greed of the people who are in the power. Imbalance in the remuneration system and lack of transparency in administration are the basic reasons for low initiatives from the youngsters in the country. This should change.
Give the assurance that the state is promoting justice and fair play. One upright Prime Minister cannot make a country to grow perfect. The system also has to become upright. India should travel a lot to reach the status of transparency and truth in the system of administration. Other countries are no better. But, there is openness to create opportunities for people in many countries. We call them advanced countries. Plenty of initiatives will be taken up at every place at every level simultaneously in such conditions. Can we adopt the characteristics of a developed country? Create avenues for revenue! Create opportunities!!
Government and the society should extensively promote informality; flexibility and invisibility in the system. In other words, IFI is the concept of incubation centres. Allow people to grow by putting efforts. Create safe environment and provide ways to progress and flourish. Companies and institutions can adopt this approach as a system to incentivise their employees and staff.
It is as simple as the family management system prevailing in the world. There are plenty of forms. Joint families to micro families, each one choose about the status and operational systems. How brilliantly we make our children to prosper and to be independent while we nurture relationship and values? There may be irregularities and imperfections there as well. But, that’s how we progress in the social, regional and national systems of governance.
We should keep travelling towards perfection always and in all the ways. Create your world as big as you wish and as flexible as you can. Make your team fully informal and totally flexible. You and your team are working together. You can work on many units of activities, each one led by different team members. Such working model is very simple. It will lead the society towards social equality.
Promote leadership skills in every person. Support them unconditionally. Make sure that your participation is visible, unique and measurable. Let people grow in their own ways. Reciprocation is a currency that attracts people to each other. Those who are very selfish will end up in their small little circle of existence and the most flexible, truthful, transparent and sincere will win the entire world. There is no one to set target for you. It is your world. Create it on your way.
We can create plenty of career roles in Tourism and Media Sectors. It will help us to achieve massive career growth at regions with large potential for tourism development. Other sectors also can follow such non-hierarchical models. Use available land and infrastructure to an optimum level. Collective capital forms are far more powerful than overburdened capital forms. To know the difference is the wisdom that we should possess. There should be mergers between fixed capital, micro fixed capital and working capital. These are practiced everywhere but there is no equality and equal opportunities seen at those places.
For eg: The shopping malls at every city are built with capital participation from many people. Losses are borne by people and the profits are taken by the builders is the norm at all such places. Investors are trapped with exaggerations and false promises. Share market is comparatively flexible. Big players often try to manipulate there as well. Rarely get they caught even. In the long run, truth has to sustain and survive for the wellbeing of the larger society and world.
Role of leadership Initiatives in the society building process:
Lack of appropriate leadership is the cause of degeneration in the society. Make the youth to take up leadership roles. Let the process begin with their internship programs in the campuses. Give them opportunity to take up leadership roles in smaller units. Make plenty of such units to work together in a large project. Let each unit leadership to earn revenue with every achievement that they make in the process. Make the projects and units measurable and rewarding. It will inspire students to come into leadership roles without any persuasion or force.
Documentation of success stories in various forms, like articles, books, videos, films etc. is a massive initiative that can handle thousands of students in Joint Internship projects. Organising Festivals of various types with participation of people across the world will make it very big and promising.
Practical Implementation:
Education and Training: Global TV will collaborate with local educational institutions and tourism boards to develop specialized training programs for individuals interested in becoming Tourism Guides. These programs will focus on tour coordination, customer service, and cultural awareness. The aim is to equip Tourism Guides with the necessary skills to effectively coordinate and lead tour and travel programs for individuals and groups.
Recruitment and Placement of Tourism Guides: Global TV, in partnership with local governments and community organizations, will actively recruit and train individuals from various backgrounds for the role of Tourism Guides. This initiative aims to provide stable employment and income opportunities to those who are looking for leadership roles in their career paths. These Tourism Guides will serve as the frontline representatives, coordinating travel itineraries and ensuring memorable experiences for tourists.
Recruitment and Placement of Tourism Ambassadors: Those who wish to nurture their entrepreneurship skills can become Tourism Ambassadors. They can be selected from experienced Tourism Guides as well. Basic knowledge in the field is essential for leadership roles. They can then only be entrusted with the responsibility of managing teams of more than 7 Tourism Guides.
In addition to team management, Tourism Ambassadors will play a pivotal role in creating itineraries that showcase the unique cultural and natural attractions of their regions. They will also conduct promotional campaigns to attract tourists and boost local tourism. They will also collaborate with other tourism ambassadors from various cities in the country and across the world.
Partnerships: Global TV will establish partnerships with local businesses, hotels, and tourism agencies to facilitate the integration of Tourism Guides and Ambassadors into the existing tourism infrastructure. These partnerships will ensure that these new roles enhance the overall visitor experience by promoting responsible and sustainable tourism practices. Innovation is inevitable.
Inter-city Connections: Tourism Ambassadors will not only manage local teams but also engage with Tourism Ambassadors from other cities. This cross-city collaboration aims to share best practices, exchange ideas, and collectively work towards sustainable and inclusive tourism, fostering a sense of community among those involved in this mission.
Setting a Percentage for the Poor:
Tourism Revenue Allocation: Global TV commits to allocating a percentage of its revenue generated through tourism-related programming and content development towards poverty reduction initiatives in the regions where Tourism Guides and Ambassadors operate. This funding will be available for community development projects, job training programs, and infrastructure improvements, thereby directly benefiting the impoverished communities involved. It is always desirable to set higher standards even when we start up with small initiatives. It help to have clarity among the stakeholders about the dynamics of the dream.
Employment Opportunities: A portion of the job opportunities within the Tourism Guide and Ambassador roles will be reserved for individuals from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This commitment aims to provide stable employment and income opportunities to those who may face barriers to traditional career paths. They will be supported by the mentors who are willing to give their time without taking any rewards or remuneration.
Community Engagement: Tourism Guides and Ambassadors will actively engage with local communities to identify their specific needs and challenges. They will also advocate for tourism-related projects that directly benefit the communities they represent. Micro tourism will be immensely promoted.
Impact Assessment: Global TV will establish a robust system for tracking and evaluating the social and economic impact of these initiatives. This data will be used to continuously refine and improve the quality of performance.
By creating and implementing these career roles, Global TV not only enhances the tourism experience but also fosters economic empowerment and community development. This approach aligns with Global TV’s mission to make tourism a force for positive change and poverty reduction while promoting collaboration among Tourism Ambassadors across different cities.
Note:
Campus Partnerships:
Campuses can collaborate with Global TV for Skill Development and internship opportunities for their students. We can provide several Joint Internship avenues for students under mentorship of experts. Practical exposure, collective action and direct supervision are important for successful internships.

Summary:
We should understand the importance of creating new career opportunities, particularly in the Tourism and Media sectors, to empower youth and promote economic vitality and equality in society, particularly in India. There are plenty of opportunities.
We should take advantage of the potential for careers such as “Tourism Ambassadors” and “Tourism Guides”.
We should take concrete steps for creating career roles for many hundreds of people in each city across the country. Find roles that are prevalent in advanced countries and just replicate.
We should always advocate for a non-hierarchical, flexible, and informal approach to leadership and career development. We can then encourage individuals to take up roles that match with their real capabilities, interests and specialisations.
We should make sure transparency in economic systems and then encourage initiatives from the younger generation.
Take steps to implement these career roles at campuses during internships. Emphasize importance of partnerships, community engagement, and cost effectiveness. Tourism is a cash cow.
The ultimate goal is to enhance the tourism experience of guests visiting the district and there by fostering economic and social empowerment and community development, in alignment with Global TV’s mission statement; Together Everyone Flourish.
