IMPRESSIONS

SHODHA YATRA:
I feel that I’m lucky for being a part of chinna shodha  yatra-19. ShodhaYatra is the platform that is required  for scouting process which is the first and foremost  thing that is to be done to find the innovators in the  villages as well as to know the traditional methods of  the village.

 

 The most important thing that I liked is transferring  the knowledge from village to village and making
them aware of the technologies that have been  developed by grassroots innovators which provide
benefit for both the villagers as well as the grassroots  innovators.

IMPRESSIONS ON SHODHA YATRA:

Firstly we as engineers don’t get chance of spending  our time with a group of people excelling in various  fields. Shodha yatra gave us this opportunity.  Interaction with experienced people and observing  their way of thinking would help me a lot in my future.

 

 The way volunteers have organized it was  extraordinary. We have spent our time without  undergoing any kind of problems.  Going to what I have learnt from the nature in villages  is that its pleasantness is the gift of god and the  villagers are lucky to live in such kind of  environment. We feel that the cities are modern  following latest technologies and highly developed  life. But after seeing the village people in shodha yatra  I can surely tell that greater percentage or may be all  the villagers are leading a happy, peaceful and healthy  life being far away from the mechanical lifestyle of the  city. Moreover the kind of affection that they have  shown is indefinable.

 

  Coming to the valuable information given by  Brigadier sir, I got to know lots and lots of new things
that I have never heard before. All the stories of  innovators , the challenges they have faced in  innovating their respective innovations and the  problems that are put front made me actually realize
how today’s society and system are. I think these  things had a great impact on me. I would say that
I have been thinking on these since I have heard them  and would surely get back to you as soon as I get some idea.

From all the practical experiments that you made us involve in, I got to know how differently different
people think for the same question. I also understood  that same things will appear in various forms and there  will also be the opposite side of the same coin which  we are seeing. These things I have understood at the  time of silent walk as well as the session that was taken by great organic farmer Vijay Kumar. When  the society abandons someone in such a bad way, one  requires a great part of the heart to work for the  betterment of the same society. That kind of great  person he is.

Finally I can say that I have spent my time in a valuable way to develop myself as a person by being a  part of chinna shodha yatra.
