Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it,
live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body,
be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone.
This is the way to success.-Swami Vivekananda
India’s sole lies in its villages and if the villages are
destroyed ,
the nation decays,its culture and its vibrancy is lost.
If the nation has to prosper, its villages have to be
preserved.
If the villages are self reliant, the culture retains and
the nation
prospers and there is happiness around.
The major source of livelihood
for the villages is agriculture.
And the failure of one crop often leads to
starvation and
farmer suicides.Many villages still do not have access to
clean
drinking water and electricity. The picture of healthcare
and sanitation is
also glim.The infant mortality rate is very alarming.
These villages need to be preserved in its entirety. They
have
to be made self sufficient in all respects such that there is no
need for migration
of people from villages to cities.Only then
can the nation retain its essence
and prosper.
There has to be a doctor in each village,villages need to
have
access to clean drinking water and toilets.Villages need to be
skilled in
alternate professions like sewing ,carpentry,pumbing,
construction so that lack
of rainfall or crop failure do not rob
them of their livelihood.
Shree Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, an epitome of experience
and embodiment of compassion, though her project Amrita Serve
is trying to
build gaps in 101 villages all over India .Amrita Serve
has adopted these
villages with the aim to make each of them self
reliant.There have been committees
of villagers made consisting of
women as well as youth in order to propel the
activities,be it
skill transfer or solar powered electricity.
The project also provides students of Amrita and volunteers
with
an opportunity to serve in turn bridging the gaps and
also leading to effective
innovations.
The
mission of the project is to preserve the essence of India
by making villages self
reliant by empowering the villagers
