Foundation stones have been laid for six schools in Adilabad and Karimnagar districts. Out of these, Allampalli and Utnuru are two remote places in Adilabad district far deep into the forests where there are about 30 Tribal Thandas(groups). Even government officials are afraid to go to that place as it is famous for Terrorist encounters. A school is being built there. The school building was raised to the slab level. Till now 19 lakhs were spent on it. Devotees from USA have donated around Rs. 5 lakhs for this purpose. Still it is required to have 15 to 20 lakhs to properly construct it and use it in its full swing for the purpose. In Beersai village, foundations were finished. Building has to come up. Though all the schools are scheduled to be started by June but, due to monetary reasons, only, Allampalli school is going to be started by finishing it before July. Teachers under-Training, selected from those places who are staying since 8 months in our Ashram are getting ready to take ahead the mission with the blessings of HH Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami.
Students were being provided with all the facilities for their stay, food, study material etc. all free of cost, by JET. They are going to be with HH Sri Swamiji for a period of 6 months. Blessed are they for, they have come to take RIGHT EDUCATION from Acharya HH Sri Swamiji. Students were being taught with Sanskrit, School Subjects, Our Culture and Dharma along with Educational Psychology and other educational subjects and also class readers. They are also learning about computers to keep them abreast with the latest technologies of the world.
They wake up before 4.30 AM. HH Sri Swamiji is teaching them
the Sthothras and then, they do physical and mental exercises like Yoga and Meditation.
After that they take shower and attend to Aradhana and Goshtti. Immediately after
taking prasadam, classes start by 8.30 AM. HH Sri Swamiji is taking classes and
also evaluating each and every student for performance. Though students are new
to this type of strict discipline, it is happy that they are trying to get habituated
to it. During nights, Sri Swamiji is teaching them wonderful concepts from Ramayana
etc., in regard to our daily behaviour and activities. Students will go to bed
by 10.30 PM .
Though, JET is not an organisation with ready funds in
store for the projects being undertaken, but, with the grace of HH Sri Swamiji,
as it is for the sake of noble purpose, it is striving to provide the best education
to the people with the help of all the resources available.
HH Sri Swamiji is reaching out the remote tribal areas where there are people
who couldn't get any sort of support either from government or from other nearby
institutions.
Schools in Tribal Areas
(Karimnagar Dist.) and Special Training
to the teachers by HH Sri Swamiji
HH Sri Swamiji came to Hyderabad on 20th. On 21st morning, HH left to Karimnagar District by helicopter, along with the Honourable Deputy Minister of Home affairs Sriman Ch.Vidyasagar Rao, who came to join the programme of laying foundation stone in four Tribal Areas. HH Sri Swamiji has taken up the programme of giving training to the teachers in the tribal areas who in turn reach the tribal homes to educate the tribal children. A school by name "Gurukul school" will be started in those areas to specially train tribal children. This is a programme to educate tribal children in the backward areas. These Gurukul schools will be built very soon. Local people have collected lands for this purpose and HH Sri Swamiji has laid stones in all the four different places for Gurukul schools. HH Sri Swamiji has decided to provide direct training to the teachers for a period of 6 months during which teachers will be mould to perfection in using sanskrit, pronunciation, understanding subjects and teaching skills.
HH Sri Swamiji along with the Honourable Minister visited Ammakkapeta, Rayakal, Nagaram, Illantha Kunta and laid foundation stones. In all the four places, there was an enormous response from the people for this wonderful social programme undertaken by HH Sri Swamiji. HH Sri Swamiji said that these trained teachers will reach people to find out children who are not being educated and motivate them to take part in the stream of education by encouraging them with various schemes. It is the responsibility of every trained teacher to go to those tribal children and motivate them to come to school. It is also proposed to provide free food in the afternoon to those poor students as according to the active participation of the local people. HH Sri Swamiji says that once they feel the taste of right education, they, by themselves love to learn things and come to school and then schools should provide an environment to encourage their interest and provide them more and more knowledge. Going to school and learning subjects should not be just examination / certificate / degree oriented. Education should be for moulding the personality of a man to lead a purposeful life in service of the society as service to God. Gurukul Schools are being established with this as the main objective.
Honourable minister has promised to
provide every support that is needed to accomplish this wonderful task. HH Sri
Swamiji blessed the occasion and the active participants who came forward to serve
for this cause in whatever manner they could. HH Sri Swamiji offered Mangalasasanams
to all to serve the society as service to God.
