Hi! My Dear
friends,
We glad to say
our CSY 3 members completed
their 3rd chinna
sodha yatra successfully. We
felt very happy with their
experiences sharing in the yatra
(Achampeta to Bakaram).By
listening these experiences We
felt one shouldn’t miss these
type of opportunities. Yatra is
totally filled with the
marvelous and amazing
experiences. They resembled and
proved that the village people
are the real educators with
their scientific wisdom. It also
proved that how much backward we
are than the village people. It
shows that a man can live
happily with the nature, without
any modern equipment also. Some
of the experiences I would like
to mention here.
Regarding,
Their Natural Child Birth
process, their Natural
procedures to cure diseases with
the available Natural resources
and kitchen-made methods, their
health tips, their strong health
reasons etc. The village
student’s zeal for studies and
their ideology for innovations
astonished our yatris. Our
yatris told us the students
ideology are like more enough
equal to scientists.
Along with the
scientific wisdom of the village
people, our yatris have seen
their difficulties like their
struggle for bringing water from
3 kilometers, protecting their
fields from forest pigs and
their inability to provide food
for their cattle even though the
forest is nearer as forest
officers are not allowing their
cattle into forest. The Very sad
news is that some of the
families don’t have proper
clothes.
Here I just
mention in a brief as a SCAI
coordinator, but now listen them
in our yatris words
Y.V.Sivaramareddy
SCAI coordinator
MRIM
NAGA RANJANI
“I feel Three day
memories can’t forget for
decades”
When the program
of 3rd chinnasodha yatra was
announced by college, I
personally decided to join that
yatra for learning &
understanding the mindsets of
people. I have confirmed by mail
to Brigadier.P.Ganesham who is
the chief coordinator for
Honeybee AP. But, I had a
dilemma to go or not due to
sudden health disturb with the
fever. Then with the motivation
of my faculty Sivaramareddy sir
and with myself intuition that
I’ll get some positive energy, I
strongly decided to attend CSY 3
I get a confidence in me. I then
started the yatra with my friend
varun and I had amazing
experiences in CSY3
VARUN MITHRA
I FEEL THAT “Follow the
villagers when you are in the
new village”
First of all I
would like to thank my principal
Dr.Srinivasa sastry garu and
sivaram reddy sir for choosing
me as one of the yatri for
CHINNA SODHA YATRA 3. And I
missed the past 2 yatras. I
don’t want to miss this time
.I’m very enthusiastic to
precipitate in the yatra because
I had a feeling to serve the
villagers and to know about the
knowledge that they have and
had.
Our Experience
together:
On the first day
i.e on 24 th feb we started our
3CSY program with a warm
welcoming smile by brigadier
GANESHAM sir from RDT premises
around 1 pm. The program stated
with the ‘unlearning class’
after having lunch around 2 pm.
While walking we noticed hand
bore well where a rubber tire is
attached to the hand lever of
the bore so as to minimize the
melting of the iron beneath the
hand lever.
After walking for
2 km we felt tired and we were
tensed how we will walk for next
2 days. But with the inspired
speeches and some small stories
from GANESAN sir we never felt
pain for the rest of the days.
We reached to
choutu palli , we was engaged
talking with some villagers
group and visited few houses in
groups .On the way to the next
village we saw a farmer working
on the ground nut fields
,cutting the crop, we helped him
in cutting the ground nuts.
After a gentle walk for 1 km we
saw a peanuts machine which
automatically separates leaves
and the nuts, we enjoyed a lot
working with the farmers there
as we saw that for the first
time.
Mean while we saw
a small kid around 7 yrs old
whose habit is writing the diary
in English with a refill. He is
having lots of books in his hand
and not having a proper bag to
carry and not even a pen to
write. We felt very pity and we
offered our pen. We have given
our contact number to him and
asked him to contact for any
help.
We interacted an
old man there in that village
for around half an hour, in his
words we came to know that he’s
very unhappy because of the
liquor usage in the village by
the youngsters and he told a
proverb in his word like ”kunda
lo nellu unte tagutaru, leka
pote ledu. ”
We met another
old man there with aged about
110 years that is really
amazing.
In the night by
seeing the clear sky we felt
very happy for the first
time.Suddenly we realized that
we were walking alone in the
forest we came to know that we
missed the remaining yatris few
are them are ahead and few are
lagging behind us but we
couldn’t see anyone or anything.
Then we found our way with the
help of light used by the yatris
who are waiting for us and the
yatra continued…..
At last We
reached a girls school and had a
feedback session, there we
shared our views of that
particular day with each other .
We dispersed to our rooms and
had a sound sleep.
On the next day
we noticed that, school girls
woke up early in the morning at
4 a.m and doing all the
activities like yoga and others
things. we felt very happy with
their hospitality is very good
and we are very grateful to
them.
In the Morning
we showed some videos on the
idea generations and we
collected some ideas from the
children there and they are
really awesome .we distributed
pens and biscuits for their
participation and tried to
encourage them a lot.
After that, our
yatra has been restarted. We saw
a farmer in ground nut fields
and asked him about the output.
Even though the former was in
loss offered us some ground
nuts. After some walk we had a
management class with GANESHAM
sir on ‘Dilemma’ that was really
effective.
In the Afternoon,
We had mouth watering lunch
under the mango trees with cool
breeze from the forest beside.
All of a sudden ranjani was not
feeling well she got a medicine
from the women in the village
made of vaamu, garlic and
massage with mustard oil .Within
a few minutes she got relief
from the pain, and then she
started walking. At 7pm we
reached lingala and we showed
some videos on innovations and
ideas, we collected few ideas
from the students, their
ideology was amazing. One
student has shared her idea that
it is better to have automatic
ticket booking counter at the
railway tracks. On around 9:30
p.m, we had dinner and had good
sleep in class rooms .Before
sleep we had a feedback session
was quiet interesting as all
involved in the feedback
session.
The very next day
we started our walk from the
school and we spoke about the
fertility of the lands and how
to increase the lands fertility.
We went to govt schools in
ananthavaram and others and
interacted with the school
children. There we played,
jumped, enjoyed with the
children there and we became
small kids again .and we felt
very bad about the girl who got
maturity on that time and she’s
not having the knowledge about
that. Even she is not having
another set of clothes to
change. We’ve taken her name and
we’ll help her by collecting few
clothes in the future.We asked a
wise and old man about his
fitness, then he replied that
“Every day I used to have
Ragisangati’ with Goat milk and
fresh forest honey in my diet.”
Due to
environmental changes I
developed changes in my body...i
started to feel heat so a lady
suggested me to apply limestone
paste on my toe fingers.
The very next day
we started our walk from the
school and we spoke about the
fertility of the lands and how
to increase the lands fertility.
We went to govt schools in
‘ananthavaram’ and others and
interacted with the school
children. We played, jumped,
enjoyed with the children there
and we became small kids again
.and we felt very bad about the
girl who got maturity on that
time and she’s not having the
knowledge about that .even she
not having another set of
clothes to change .we’ve taken
her name and we’ll help her by
collecting few clothes in the
future.
We came to know
that there is a natural medicine
for mensoval stomach pains as
per the old women “the mixture of
sonti, white pepper, vaamu,
garlic,soamph and ghee , made
into a decoction add milk before
consuming . ”
We want to
conclude by saying what we
learnt from this CHINNA SODHA
YATRA 3.
-
From this
yatra we learnt how to show
hospitality to guests from
villagers.
-
We knew and
experienced that the
products of nature how
effectively curing the
disease than English
medicines.
-
The Yatra
totally changed our opinion
and thought that we are
having more knowledge than
village people. Now we
realize that village people
are having more knowledge
than us.
-
We also
learned How to respect
Mankind and animal
husbandry.
Now we are
feeling responsible as a social
being and I have decided to
respect mankind, optimal usage
of resources, and I wish to
spend my savings for Social
welfare.
At last we
decided to include these types
of yatras in our future.
Thank You.

the master appears.” |
