This forenoon we were in Chengaloor GPS in Puthukad. We held the farmers' seminar and the "mini exhibition" there. As I wrote before, COF focused on Puthukad to educate our graduates about villages, villagers and their lifes (Do Kerala got real villages???). While dreaming about
how to do the module, my sub-conscious mind recalled Bapuji's dream of "
every village youth going to town to master the skills should come back and serve". How beautiful & True. I thought to give Jithinnath and his friends a memorable lesson.
But these days the youths rarely come back. Instead they "uproot" & "transplant" their full family to the town. If every village in India becomes self sufficient, India will become the superpower that it is projected to become. Only possible if our youths are willing to spare their mind, muscle and time for their rustic brethren.Even if they chose to be in the town.
Lemme come back to GLPS. I have seen innumerable schools, especially GLPS. My journeys to conduct the election took me to several schools. Every school greets you with a large open space-the play ground. Not Chengaloor GLPS.
Not that this school is not having a play ground. It is there..the difference..strategically located Green Umbrellas...The kids can run (they must run..how else can they develop the muscles and balance?) just freely around, but they are protected from the tropical SUN by the green canopy above.

I salute the human beings who hoisted the "GREEN UMBRELLAS" here very long ago. Tomorrow, in our independence day, our future generation will hoist our tri-color under the safe canopy of these gigantic trees.
yes our Bapujji dreamt of a nation where there is an inclusive development anfd the rural masses are empowered. Alas, there is a drain of rural masses to the urban streets where they dwell in the most untidy conditions. Our India loves and breathes in villages. Rather than opting for exclusive development of corporates our government should empower the rural mass through skill development using its umpteen number of programmes. An integrated approach by all the departments can indeed fullfill our Bapujjis dreamz. we divided our motherland into two- cost of our freedom. Now the neo colonist(present policy makers of India) dividing the nation into nation of rich and poor.
