Initiative on education in Uttarakhand

(1/5) > >>

Namaskar,
As most of my fellow members know, Uttarakhand lacks basic infrastructure due to which our children in villages cannot compete with the city-dwellers.  I have had occasions to visit various parts of Pahad to have a first-hand knowledge of the situation.  I have been particularly apalled by the educational level in the Sult area.  There are four pattis of Sult - Talla, Malla, Valla and Palla - with Maulekhal being the Block Office.  After touring extensively I found that very few children are successful in getting higher education after 10+2, leave aside getting good jobs.

Therefore, with a few of my friends I have recently started an initiative to provide educational support to school-going children.  I thought that children in 11th and 12th standard have already chosen their field of studies, thus giving very little chance of any counselling and it would be better if we concentrate on the children from 7th to 10th standards.  We contacted the Principles of various inter Colleges and have been able to convince the Principles of Inter-College, Manila and Inter College, Kwairala to lend our helping hand.

Our simple proposal was to supplement the knowledge already imparted by the respective school teachers.  We proposed to hold classes in English, Maths and Science subjects for these classes one week every month.  Without concentrating on the chapter-wise methodology of imparting education, we would provide them information about their curriculum which they may not be getting from their textbooks.  For this we would be using projectors, laptops etc and would distribute reading material that would help them in better understanding of the subjects.  It would be our endeavour not to concentrate on the course curriculum but impart them knowledge that would stand them in good stead in their life.

Both the Principles have agreed in principle to let us hold classes one week in a month from April, 2009 onwards.  But they have asked to give a presentation in the third week of January, 2009.  The Schools would be busy in examination in the months of February and March, hence it would be beneficial to the students if we begin with the new academic Session in April, 2009.  We have promised to give a presentation from 19th to 23rd January, 2009.

The whole exercise needs large number of volunteers as it would not be possible for a smaller group to sustain the effort for a long duration.  At this moment, 2-3 of us would be going in January but we need a larger bench strength from April, 2009 onwards.  As such, I call upon my fellow members to help us in our endeavour.

Besides manpower, we also need logistics support.  I have already talked to a few people in this regard.  They have given their word to support me.  I asked them to provide transportation for our visits.  Shri Krishna Chaitanyanand Saraswatiji  Maharaj of Malli Manila Temple has given us his divine blessings and has asked us not to bother so far as boarding and lodging is concerned. 

I may tell here that we have undertaken this initiative on our own, thinking that we should give back to our society what we have received from it, directly or indirectly.  We are prepared to spend from our own pockets as long as we can.  IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE HERE THAT I AM THE ONLY PAHADI MEMBER OF THE GROUP, OTHERS ARE FROM BIHAR AND UP BUT THEY HAVE PLEDGED TO SUPPORT ME WHOLEHEARTEDLY.  Now, I urge my Pahadi brothers to support me.

Anyone wishing to join me may please contact me through e-mail address: mdsundriyal@yahoo.com or mdsundriyal@gmail.com or phone numbers 011-23421110 (office) or 9250867656.

Namaskar,
