[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.

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)
