Dhumakot Sangliya Groups on internet

Dhumakot Sangliya groups on internet are discussing
matters of global concern. Tiwariji was to visit
Dhumakot twenty years ago. Shailendra Krishna was the
DM then. He is currently secretary to UP Chief
Minister Mayawati. Tiwariji was the Chief Minister
Uttar Pradesh then. Tiwariji could not visit Dhumakot
then. But he could visit Dhumakot years later as
Chief Minister of Uttarakhand. By then he had become
Nauchami Narayan. Poet Narendra Singh Negi had made
him god after taking voluntary retirement as the
Information officer of the district where Dhumakot is
located. Tiwariji was to visit Adalikhal which is a
rival or complementary school in the same area to
inaugurate the Seminar "How Green would be Deval Garh
Valley". The title was given to the local touch a
global sounding. How Green was my valley was a best
seller that had become the best movie of its time.

The seminar was very successful internationally and
Parvatitya Times published material on Tiwariji'actual
visit. But there was another seminar organised by
the products of the Dhumakot school who had become
VIPs like NRIs. It was necessary to add something to
their effort. Came Dhumakot Sangliya Groups on
internet.

Let us recall recent event at the ground level. The
report is added at the end of this mail.

A Get-together of Ex- students and Teachers of
Dhumakot School (Pauri Garhwal) was organised at
Dhumakot on 6 to 7 May 2006. On 6th May the meet was
inaugurated by the present oldest teacher and an ex-
student Shri Pancham Singh Rawat. The session was
presided over by Shri Govind Singh Rawat retd, DIOS
and an ex- student of the school. At the assembly,
immediately after the national anthem, the students of
the school sang Swagat Geet in honor of their
seniors. This was followed by the key address by the
present Principal Shri Anand Singh Bisht who is also
and an ex-student of the school. The Principal touched
various points and aspects of the history &
achievements of the school and remembered those who
made hard efforts to promote education in the area by
establishing and developing this school. His address
has been given due coverage in the local print media.
During the introduction session many of the
participants while remembering their early days of the
school
were seen emotional. Shri P.N. Madwal from Delhi
informed that a tremendous enthusiasm among the
ex-students and teachers for this meet was seen though
many of them could not attend the meet due to their
some other important commitments. He thanked the
Principal of the school and his team for making the
best arrangements for boarding and lodging of the
participants. Shri D.B. Dhyani appreciated the
greenery developed around the school.
At the end of the last session of the day a two
minutes silence to pay homage to all the late
ex-students and teachers was observed.
A sightseeing trip to Khaliondanda and Diva temple
was made in a group by the participants. Apart from
seeing some of the watersheds development in nearby
areas, some of the participants also visited
Digolikhal, Nainidanda, Gujudugari, Jadaukhand and
Dungri.
Next day i.e. on 7th May one hour yoga session
particularly for the present teachers was organized
with a view to passing on the same to their students
which was guided by Shri Bhagat Singh Bisht from
Mumbai. After beakfast issues relating to the
Education-Health, Tourism and development were
discussed in three sessions of the day. In his
presentation Dr. Juyal explained, among other things,
the basic requirements for the construction of
houses in the seismographic zones and the need of
roof-top rainwater harvesting. In my submission I was
of the opinion that we as individuals can motivate
domestic tourists to this area in our own way and this
get-together itself was an example thereof. I felt
that there is a need to make the villagers and
particularly the women aware of the one / two child
family. Further I was of the view that we should
encourage poor to imagine that where they would like
to see their respective families after 10/ 15 or 25
years and ac
cordingly obtain an undeclared commitment from them
to fulfill the same. Block Pramukh Smt. Madhu Bisht
and Up Pramukh Shri Arjun Singh Patwal also
participated in the discussion and explained the
various developmental activities of the Nainidanda
Block. At the end of the session S/Shri N P Juyal &
Govind Singh Bisht and Shri Gabarr Singh Bisht were
felicitated with shawl and coconut as oldest students
and teacher respectively. A vote of thanks was
proposed by S/Shri B.S. Bisht & A.S.Bisht. This two
days meet was enjoyed as a camp life by the
participants which was also a small beginning to
think for the betterment of the society and likely to
be repeated in the coming years. We wish that others
may replicate it in their respective schools.
