Street play on cleanliness

by

The reward of cleanliness is cleanliness itself. This thought echoed very loud and clear in a creative attempt made by the students of Gurukulam. It drove home the point that when aware individuals come together to make a difference, the result is there for the whole world to see! 

 The students proved that the dream of ‘Clean India’ can take the shape of physical reality with the help of dedicated efforts of a committed group.  Self inspired, the students of the Gurukulam took collective responsibility to raise consciousness of one and all through a Marathi musical street play.

 

Warli painting

by

Come December and we geared up to take small baby steps towards the ‘Clean India, Green India’ initiative. And if not art, what other way could we choose to do this? To add aesthetic value to our villages, rural children were taught to draw Warli paintings on the walls of a house. Warli painting is a traditional folk art of Maharashtra. It is remarkable in its intensely social nature. The beauty of this folk art lies in its sobriety coupled with ebullience of the themes depicted. After cleaning the walls, the students painted them in white against an austere brown background of mud.

Simple to learn, the children mastered it effortlessly by making use of central motifs such as triangles and circles taught to them by the Art teacher, Mr. Niranjan.

Besides improving their fine motor skills and giving a creative vent to their expressions, the activity taught the children that on one hand where cleanliness is abstract, beautification is more concrete. One without the other is meaningless. Children loved learning this skill that allowed visual manifestation of their abstract ideas.

Date: 9th Dec to 10th Dec 2016

Venue: Janardhan’s house wall, Katarkhadak Village.

Teacher/Trainer: Niranjan Sir

Coordinators: Amol

Participants: Katarkhadak village children.

Shoe distribution

by

The way to school for the village students is a journey full of discomfort what with all the sharp objects, hot tar roads and uneven surface. Children walk down kilometers on sunny days to and from the school. And some times the water bottles are emptied on the roads to cool off their feet for some respite. Going to school for education is still on, can we relieve these determined feet of the discomfort?

Offering of RSVK

Rishi Samskruthi Vidhya Kendra received extended valuable support in this regard by teaming up with JAMM’S, group of all mothers. The organization contributed and collected footwear for the village children. On receiving these gifts, tiny, happy feet forged ahead to realize their dreams.

Distribution of warm clothes

by

Benevolence keeps the warmth among brethren alive. The weather at Katarkhadak and neighboring villages demands warm clothes for six months in a year.

As a tangible expression of our love for the villagers, we distributed warm clothes during the winters to young and old alike.

These thoughtful gifts changed hands, passing on from those who wish to share their abundance with the needy.

Offering of RSVK

Rishi SamskrithiVidya Kendra serves as a link between those who wish to share their abundance and passion in various areas and all those who require and receive it with lots of gratitude. The activity, conducted on Indian Republic Day, added to the patriotic fervor weaving everyone together in the fabric of love and compassion.

Indian institute of inspirational Leadership for Rural Development

by

  *INDIAN INSTITUTE OF INSPIRATIONAL LEADERSHIP FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT (ILRD)*

(Affiliated to Karnataka University, Dharwad)

 Guruji Shri Rishi Prabhakarji has created and designed this degree course with the aim to blend best of both Eastern & Western worlds – by integrating ethnology and methodology with the Indian cultural ethos, along with development of traditional, spirituality-based value system.   

  ILRD’s objective is to bring prosperity in harmony with ecology and the person, ushering a new era in Indian villages. This is a 3 years integrated course.

 The course of study is interdisciplinary in nature. Faculty from various departments, eminent social workers and environment experts are invited to train the students in specific areas.

Today’s modern, educated youth can imbibe this knowledge and take up the leadership for rural development as their life-work for uplifting Indian villages.

At present many villages are affected by the Greed-Grab-Consume-Exhaust approach for short gains for a few, as followed in the urban industrial culture. The new era will be Need based – Resource conserve – Regenerate and yet enjoy through giving, so that everyone prospers in the long run.

ILRD emphasizes on developing entrepreneurial skills in individuals, enabling to generate hundreds of jobs around them wherever they are in the world, empowering them to be job creators rather than job seekers.
