When we started medical camps across all the schools in 2013, we planned to get all the schools at one place. This was not a success since moving 500 kids on topsy turvy roads became a bit challenge.

We planted more than 100 saplings in the vicinity (along the dam and close to the fields). We should be able to see Neem, Jamun, Moringa, Mango etc over a period of two years. The kids from Kaspada schools did the entire hard work. We distributed saplings and seeds at Khomarpada school as well. Teacher in this school is promoting growing of vegetables along with the conventional rice in Khomparpada village. The support from Hariyali (Mulund based group) was commendable in this initiative – they provided with plants and seeds.

As a part of the transfer process, both the teachers from Khandeghar were transferred to different village. We were lucky that the incoming teachers were associated with Suhrid foundation already. Hence, we did not have restart the complete process. We would be working on creating office/ storage space at the school since they have to manage with two cramped rooms, wherein most of the items are completely exposed.

This was our first visit to Kalampada with purpose of inclusion in the Suhrid Foundation supported school. In the visit, we met with teachers, reviewed school and its status and identify possible work we may have to carry out in this school. Kalampada is a very small village in the north east of Vikramgadh with a population of around 300. Though there is support to the village/school from some other organization, the infrastructure is not upto the mark. The kitchen is non-functional. Bore-well was non-functional. Since the main teacher in this school had worked at Talyachapada, which is a part of Suhrid foundation supported schools, it would be possible for us to make desired changes in the school.

Kaspada villagers approached us for help with their water problems. Their wells dried up almost by end of Feb this year (unlike April in previous years). There is a seasonal river flowing from the village. It experiences flood during main monsoon period, however, it generally dries up by Oct/Nov every year. The same river also recharges wells in monsoon, using which villagers can drag through the entire year for their water needs.

The academic session ended much before the scheduled time this year due to drought and the training of the teachers for the parliament election. We decided to focus on inducting new schools and community related work.Khomarpada, which is on the west of Vikramgadh, was identified as one of the schools, which we want to cover under our NGO activities. It is a small school with ordinary infrastructure. However, the teacher has taken lot of effort to improve the vegetation not only in the school but even at the village level. Like any other Zilla Parishad school, kids get only rice & dal as part of the mid-day meal. Teacher – with his own initiatives – added more vegetables to make it more nutritious. Additionally, he has encouraged villagers to grow vegetables at large scale apart from taking the conventional rice crop. We would be inducting this school starting June 2019. We would use the expertise of the teachers to improve vegetation across the schools.

His vision was perfect in one eye, wherein there was NO vision in the other eye.
