About 70% of the people in India live in more than 550,000 villages, and the remainder in more than 200 towns and cities. Now comparing 550000 villages with 200 towns and cities I realized the fact that our metro cities are growing day by day with lot of facilities availed to the citizens. But the major population staying back in rural area is still waiting for the electricity or roads that will lead them to a near by town. I am not going discuss about the facilities or the basic needs or blaming the government. I genuinely believe that better education can help bringing changes in the current educational system in rural or awareness among the people can lead to drastic changes.
I basically belong to really small town we can call it a proper village. But my father’s decision to shift to district place helped me reaching where I am. But then I realized that it’s not possible for everyone to shift to some district or any metro city. Second thing which I observed that villagers are not aware of the facilities availed by government and the numerous educational courses. There is talent which is being ignored or would say which remains unnoticed just because they have no idea where exactly they fit well. Almost all of us are from cities, we don’t even panic if lights are gone because we have got inverters to overcome the power cuts. But what about those 70% who hardly are supplied by power. Here what I felt what if they their own could produce electricity and are independent for their basic needs. What if they could build roads for themselves and educate the locals.
Empowering the youth seems to be a promising way to change the current scenario effectively. Students and experts from various fields and various cities can go to villages and work at grassroots level, arrange some camps, some grooming sessions and awareness programs can bring the change easily. What we need to focus is directing the youth in rural in a proper direction and helping them gaining the confidence that they are not behind any other person and secondly as someone helped changing their life they can help people around them bringing shine in others life… suggestions and comments and what all ways you all think can help taking initiative for the same are welcome…!!!!
