[E.25] Education: Art / Music / Literature Education
[E.25] Education: Art / Music / Literature Education

In order to develop all rounders from our schools, it is required to expose the students to arts (visual and performing arts), music education (teaching them an instrument) and encourage reading beyond the text books. This project encourages / provides the necessary logistical support to take up several mini-projects in this context. For example, we can have reading competition between schools over summer period. The class room / school which reads the most number of books will get a prize and recognition. Some of these books will be provided by / funded by this project.

Another example is .. having an art teacher and teaching art (through crayons, painting, etc.) and take once in a week art classes on rotation basis at each of the 6 schools.

[E.27] Education: Career Guidance Seminars
Description: (proposed by Yalagala Mallikarjuna Rao) Many of the bright students may be making the wrong choices, or not going farther ahead in their education or career, due to lack of awareness of career options.

[C.13] Community: Tree Plantation
Description: (Proposed by Krishna Mohan Chennupati) If we can have trees planted in all possible common areas of our village and both sides of the roads leading to and from our village, I feel that will surely bring in good environmental change in the long run. Though it’s ideal to have trees planted in our homes, but I see very little scope as majority of our village houses don’t have enough place inside their homes.
The triggering point behind this idea is living conditions are so hot and dry over a period of years, I could clearly feel the difference. Though we can attribute the reason behind this as global warming, but I feel we can do something locally to minimize those effects . On the other hand we are loosing agriculture lands around the village as the trend continues on real estate boom, which is also affecting our village resources.
My intention behind this idea is not to change the entire landscape of our village,but mainly to conserve our village resources /lands by keeping environmentally green,clean and cool as well to the possible extent. So personally I felt the idea of planting trees is going supplement these needs in long run.
Few thoughts on sustainability of this project as per my knowledge.
1. We need to maintain these trees for initial few months till they grow big enough with watering and by providing fence around each tree to protect from cows, buffalos.
2. Selecting the right plants that are suitable for our village soil that can grow and stay for longer periods.
3. Choosing the right season and timing is important. May be starting this task right before the rainy season or during winter season.
4. If possible start with low budget or limited number of trees and depending on how it goes we can take up more for next year and so on.
Type: One time Initiative with maintenance efforts going for 6 months or more.
Cost: Cost of plants and cost of fences around trees and watering for initial months.

[C.16] Community: Survey of Needs - 2013 Snapshot
Description: (Proposed by Peddi Sambasivarao) Before taking up any project for the community, it is needed to understand the current situation and the needs.

So, we need to gather the data related to the demographics (ages, gender, number of people in a family, etc.) and economical status by employing an impartial surveyor. TThat data can be used while evaluating any other project. This should be the first sincere project to be taken up. In the process, it is OK to rely on other sources to get this data. This data need to be managed in a database for future analysis. So, there is also need for a data-entry operator (or the surveyor may need to act as data entry operator)

The community needs to be involved in fund-raising, some partial fund-matching and providing manual labor.

Hi,all the ideas on education are good. I support all those issues. But the main problem is who will monitor/ supervise and motivate (on day to day basis) both the children and teachers to use the felicities that we have provided.
I have seen many schools keeping all the library books/ sports materials kept in the cupboards and never opened. I have seen computers donated by NRIs lying on the table of H.M and never switched on.
The problem is not the lack of resources, it is lack of committed people who can ignite the whole education system in the school. Hence my sincere suggestion is let us first identify two self motivated teachers from the schools. Find out one volunteer from the village who can monitor/ discuss and resolve the issues and give us the feedback on monthly basis. We will support these three people financially paying them a decent honorarium every month.So that these 3 people who are within the system can really help us to identify the priorities and suggest the activities. They will conduct the free tutions, they will be monitoring whether all the material (books, toys, ipads, projectors etc) are utilised to the maximum extent or not.
Once we build a team of 3 to 4 people (Half of the team must be from the schools themselves), things will really workout.
Rama Rao
Excellent comment. Yes. I agree! Unless there is commitment from the recipients, none of these ideas will fly.
We need to have a system where teachers, students, parents, volunteers, community (folks from the village) and vunnava diaspora - all are participating in these programs ensuring that there is respect, transparency, execution, progress, results.
More than the money, what is needed is the time commitment, belief that it will work and passion.
In every system, there will always be people who are passive, do not speak up, do not act, do not show passion, who have lost their soul. Those should not be our focus and we should not be dragged by them and we should not be discouraged by them.
You are right on point. We need to identify some folks who lead and drive by example. Some of the projects proposed will only work if the students and teachers take initiative. My belief is that there are certainly some (teachers and students and parents) who can step up and they set the example for others.
Starting a program is always a challenge. It will continue to be a challenge until the program becomes a routine for all of us. Till that point, we should be making the tweaks to the proposal, proposal, execution till we get it right.
Let us keep working on it till we get it right.
పిల్లలు పుట్టగానే వారిని ఏ బడికి పంపాలి ఎక్కడ చేర్పొంచాలి అనేది అతి పెద్ద ప్రశ్న . ప్రతి తల్లితండ్రి ఆశ ,పిల్లలు బాగా చదువుకోవాలి , మంచి మర్కులు రావాలి అనే .
ఐదు సంవత్సరాలు నిండిన పిదప ఇక తీరికేది. పదో తరగతి పరిక్షలు, ఇంటర్మీడియట్ పరిక్షలు , ఎంసెట్ , ఐఐటి, బిట్స్ పిలాని, ఉన్నతవిద్య ఇంకా పండగలకని, పబ్బాలకని సమయం ఏది . ఏ కార్యక్రమానికి హాజరు కాలేని పరిస్థితి . బడి కి వెళ్ళాలంటే భయం . మాస్టారు కొడతారేమో, అనుక్షణం ఏదో ఒక టెన్షన్. ఇష్టం లేని చదువులు ఎక్కువ. సినిమాలు, క్రికెట్ మ్యాచ్ ల మీద ఉన్న ఆసక్తి చదువు మీద కనబర్చట్లేదు . అబ్బా ఇంకా ఎన్నేళ్ళు చదవాలి అనేది ప్రతి ఒక్కరి ప్రశ్న . సరైన మార్గం లో నడిపించే ఒక సలహాదారు కావాలి. ప్రతి ఒక్కరు బడికి రావడానికి ఇష్టపడాలి. సందేహాలను అడగడానికి సంకోచించకూడదు. ఏమొచ్చినా మాస్టారున్నారు అనే భావన కలగాలి. చదవడానికి వసతులు ముఖ్యం కాదు చదవాలనే ఆలోచన ముఖ్యం అని నా భావన. వసుతులు అకాసరం మాత్రమే. క్లాసు కు 25-30 మంది విద్యార్థులు వుంటే 10 మంది ఉత్తీర్ణత కాదు ముఖ్యం . 30 మంది ఉత్తీర్ణులు కావాలి . అందరు ఏక సంతాగ్రహులు కారు. వారి వారి సామర్ధ్యాలను గుర్తించాలి. బాగాచదివేవారు చదవని వారి తో తిరిగితే చెడిపోరు. మర్కులకున్న ప్రాధాన్యత చదువుకు లేదు . మన దురదృష్టం. చదవని వారు నిరాశ చెంది మనస్తాపానికి గురికాకుండా వాళ్ళ లో ఆత్మ స్ధైర్యాన్ని పెంచాలి. టీచర్లు కేవలం జీతం తీసుకోవడానికి కాకుండా వాళ్ళ సొంత లాభం చూసుకోక పని చెయ్యాలి . విద్యార్థుల కుటుంబ పరిస్థితులు కూడా ముఖ్య పాత్ర పోషిస్తాయి కాబట్టి ఇవన్నీ చదువుకోవడానికి ఇబ్బందులు గా మారకూడదని నా అభిప్రాయం. మీ అభిప్రాయాలతో నేను ఏకీభవిస్తున్నాను. మరొక్క అదనపు సలహా పదోతరగతి లేదా ప్రతి సంవత్సరం మొదటి మూడు స్థానాల్లో వచ్చిన విద్యార్థుల ఫోటోలు బస్సు స్టాప్ లో ఒక కట్అవుట్ లాగానో లేక పోస్టర్ నో వేయిస్తే బాగుంటుంది . ఇది వాళ్ళ లో పోటి తత్వాని పెంచుతుంది . వాళ్ళలో చదవాలి అనే ఆసక్తి కలిగించడానికి ఇంకా మార్గాలను వెతకాలి.
గోపి: నీ సలహాలు బాగున్నాయి! అమెరికాలో పిల్లలందరూ, ముఖ్యంగా, ప్రాధమిక తరగతుల్లో ఆడుతూ పాడుతూ చదువుతారు. వాళ్ళు చదవటానికి బడికి వెళ్తున్నారా, లేక, ఆడుకోటానికి వెళ్తున్నారా అని నాకు అనిపిస్తూవుంటుంది (ఇండియా నుండి వచ్చిన తండ్రిని కాబట్టి). ఆట, చదువు అంతగా మిళి తమైవుంతాయిక్కడ. ఇండియాలో కూడ ఆ వాతావరణం చిన్న చిన్నగా వస్తుంది. ఆ నేపధ్యములోనే కొన్ని ప్రాజెక్టులు పరికల్పన చేశాను (E.1,E.2,E.7,E.8,E.9,E.13,E.14,E.17,E.18,E.25). ఆశావాదిని గాబట్టి, ఈ ప్రయత్నాలు ఫలితాల్నిస్తాయని నా నమ్మకము.
10వ తరగతిలో మొదటి మూడు స్థాయి విద్యార్దులని మనము ఎన్నో రకాలుగా గుర్తించవచ్చు - బహుమతి పత్రము ఇవ్వడము ద్వారా, మన vunnava.com లో & మనము పంపించే ద్వివార్షిక సంకీర్ణ పత్రికలో వాళ్ల ముఖచిత్రాలు / వివరాలు ప్రచురించడముద్వారా. ఈ భావచింతనలను ఆచరణలో పెట్టేటప్పుడు విపులీకరిద్దాము.
