Thanks for the information. You too can join in my compaign to get establish an education system that trains a large number of youth to start self employment by way of setting up units to utilise the raw material potential of Uttarakhand (UK) and produce marketable commodities in hugely large quantities that can provide them a desired level of income that assures good life to the families in UK itself.
This is the only way to curtail excessive migration resulting in drastic reduction in the number of able bodied capable manpower. VOICE has taken up the first step,training teachers to teach the traditional subjects is one thing and changing the syllabi to vocational courses and creating a B.Ed. (Technical) College is another.
I very much appreciate the efforts of VOICE and have a suggestion : Please incorporate a talk in the teacher's training imparted by UANA+VOICE on spreading awareness among the children about importance of self employment. Once the children see the benefits, they will find ways to get trained. At present, I understand, these courses are aimed at increasing the performance efficiency of the already employed. (This benefit needs to be measured by a follow up prgramme). My proposal is to generate self-employment for the unemployed. These two streams can, at a later stage, become complimentary and supplementary to each other.
In case you agree, we can cooperate further. I am here at Dehradun.
I guess you are based in US,
With Best of Wishes, BS Rawat
