28th Apr 2008 – Government Inter College, Kulanikhal
– Protect Uttarakhand's Future
We started from Delhi by Bus and then by Taxi from Kotdwara. We
reached Kunalikhal around 9AM then we took all our stuff in our
hands and started moving downhill 2.5 KM walk by foot. Finally we
reached school around 9:30 AM and found close to 80% attendance
of Kids and 70% of teachers. We started with following
activities:
1- We started with interaction with teachers and came to know
that due to our efforts 3 new teachers has been appointed to
school and most of the teachers are positive with our efforts.
But on the other hand they were not stratified from last
scholarship distribution, as per them few students who were good
for nothing got the scholarship and few good students left out.
So we explained our approach of taking interview and selection
criteria and it was decided that this time interview will be
taken in presence of few teachers.
2- Library has been visited and register of issuing the book
has been verified and found that Library is working.
3- Teachers has given us already prepared list of poor Kids
(14 Kids) , Talented kids (4 Sprots) and top 3 position holders
of each class (18 Kids).
4- We started with Motivation session and recalled our last
conversation with students and then Distributed Gifts to top 3
position holders of class 6th, 7th, 8th,9th and 11th.
5- Few students told us that they had sent us Postcards but
they didn't get any reply , where we didn't get any
post card. So Kids has been asked to give the postcards and
letters to school and we will pick them by hand till we find the
solution of communication problem.
6- Took interview of 22 Kids (who were present) in presence
of 3 teachers.

Waste News Paper
9- The Student who was not able to attend the interview has
been requested to attend the same on 22nd May, when Naresh Tiwari
ji will be visiting school & village.
10- During discussion we came to know that all teachers are not
satisfied with Principal and Clerk, even we too felt the same as
apart from 1st visit we have never seen the principle in the
school ( saddest part of our project). Also the clerk use to
delay the bills and other things related to teacher and seeks
money to process the same. Teachers are highly unhappy with
management and want to take transfers.
28th – 30th Apr 2007 - Journey towards our aim - Kaligaad
Talla
We Started by foot to Village from Dhabkhal, an 9 KM hilly track
tour. We took 2 hours to complete 9 KM walk, seems good average
for non hilly residents, But the best Part was when ever we were
confused due to 2 ways in-front of us, god helped us by sending
someone and guided us.
During our 2 Days Stay in Village we have completed following
Tasks:
1- Soya been and Gaith from Kaligaad: Around 15 Farmers
attended cooperative meeting and after a long discussion they
agreed to grow Soyabeen in all Syara in place of Rice this year.
10 Farmers signed the Paper and will grow Soyabeen in 12 Beegha
Harvested Land and they will grow Gaith in 15-20 Beegha non
Harvested Land. So Approximately we will get 10-15 Kuntal of Soya
been and Gaith each in November . Now Villager seeks few things
in return:
a. Their Soil check for Soya been.
b. Method to be used to cultivate Soya been effectively?
c. What and which pesticide need to be used in Soya been
and Gaith?
d. We need to re-imbrues the loss if there land
doesn't give enough Soya been.
2- Water Harvesting: Kaligaad has few water sources which are
not being utilized for farming. We visited the same and found if
we can build a 15-15 feet cement tank there , then they can put
water to major non-harvest land. Even they got Drinking water
natural source which is flowing overnight and not been conserved.
If we can build a 10-10 Feet cement tank there then water can be
stored during night and can be used during next day of the daily
basis and pumping the same just 10 meters will give water to
15-20 Beegha more land.
3- Sukse from Village: This year kaligaad will grow parmal
and skoos to provide us Sukse in Nov-Dec. And during July they
will decide about vegetables to grow in Sgawada to fulfill the
vegetable need to village.
4- Sarv Siksha Kentra in School: School is running fine , has
two teachers from village and they are very dedicated. One of
First appointed teacher left as she has gone with her Husband but
New teacher took charge from 12th Feb and doing good. Due to
Teacher problem School was not working in Jan so no Salary was
given to teachers, we have done following things in School:
a. Explained villager the purpose of School and they were
happy to know that we have school for Moral Education, English
knowledge and Personality development and they agreed to send
their Kids if school is regular.
b. Teacher requested us to provide new structure for school
to provide moral education, useful English with hindi meaning and
Personality development lessons as kids don't get these
things in regular school and left behind in this competitive
world. We liked the Idea and promised to provide the same asap.
Apart from that they demanded for Daily Sweets distribution and
small playing items to attract kids.
c. We asked students to tell any English poem and most of
the kids were knowing the things so we retained Ms. Babita
Lakhera in the school and increased her salary from 500 to 700
INR pm.
d. Second teacher Ms. Lakshmi Lakhera has been removed from
Kids education as two teachers are not required in one class so
we have assigned her task of Oldies Education and target is 1
Oldies per month. We didn't increase her salary but given
him incentive scheme, on every oldies she will get 100 INR if
they read any line given by us. We told her that writing the Name
will not be considered as Shikshik Oldies.
e. Salary from Feb to May has been given to both teachers
and receipt has been taken.
f. Both Teachers have been told to maintain register and
write daily activity and send us monthly report , else there
employment will be canceled.
g. There are no Doors and Windows in Panchayat bhawan where
they are conducting classes, 1500 INR has been given to village
coordinator to get the same done.
5- Office Assistant in Village : Two guys from Village has
been interviewed and finally Vinay Lakhera has been appointed as
Local Office representative in 1100 INR pm. He is 12 pass with
good second division and want to study further. He will call us
every week and monitor project progress. From our side we need to
provide him a Mobile, SIM, Stationary and regular updates.
6- Near by village & Gram Sabha visit: To include more
Farmers and villages and also to reduce dependency on Kaligaad we
have visited Kaligaad Malla, Rauta and one another Gram Shaba
Manjyari and explained them our approach and asked them to start
communication.
7- Progress on Medical Case: It's a long pending
issue, This time we met Shri Anand Lakhera from Kaligaad Malla
who was ready to take Subhash Chandra Lakhera to Kotdwara for Eye
check-up, for the same we have given him INR 500 advance. Hope to
get report in 15 Days.
8- Pension scheme for Nirashrit: To support the old guys who
have no one to look after them we collected details and found 4
cases Kaligaad Talla, 2 from Kaligaad Malla, 2 from Rauta , 1
from Khaneta and 1 from Manjyadi Gram Sabha. We started 300 INR
pm pension but seeking for sponsors so that we can increase to
atleast 500 INR.
9- Tracking track verification: We shared our Idea of tourism
around Village and tracking and camping facilities around
Village, so we got 5 Guys who are interested and ready to manage
the same. They can arrange one SUV from Kotdwara and 6 Khachchar
to carry luggage as well as tents and can guys for Tourist places
as well and Jungle tracking where Fishing, Camping and Tracking
will real fun. For Trial Run they took us for Fishing and
Tracking.
10- Information Board Setup: Information Board was already in
place but kept aside, this time we installed the same next to
mail shop in the village.
