“परमार्थ"

हम सदैव इस भ्रम मे रहते है कि हमने किसी की सहायता करके बहुत पुनित व पावन कर्म किया है और इससे हमारे पापों का बोझ किंचित  मात्र कम हो जाएगा |लेकिन वास्तविक्ता यह है कि जब तक हम अपने स्वार्थ का परित्याग नही करेंगे तब तक  हमारे द्वारा किया गया परमार्थ सिद्ध नही होगा|

हमारा स्वार्थ हमपर हावी होकर हमसे कई तरह के कृत्य कराता है ,कुछ सत्कर्म की श्रेणी में आते हैं, कुछ दुष्कर्म की !

हमारी नज़र में हमारे द्वारा किया गया कार्य उचित ही होता है , किंतु नज़रिया बदल कर देखिए नजारें स्वयं ही बदल जाएँगे|

 अपने लिये तो सभी जीते है औरों के लिये जीकर देखो वह आनंद  प्राप्त होगा कि जिसका

 स्वाद आपकी जिह्वा से कभी न जाएगा| परमार्थ का  रसास्वादन करने के पश्चात  स्वार्थ आपको कड़वी निम्बोली के समान प्रतीत होगा |

    परमार्थ वह दवा है जो प्रत्येक रोग का उपचार करने मे सक्षम है| कहा भी गया है – “परहित सरिस धर्म नहीं भाई" ,अर्थात् दूसरों की भलाई से बड़ा कोई धर्म नही ! हम सक्षम है, समर्थ है, असीम कोष है हमारे पास तो यदि हम उसका छोटा सा हिस्सा नि:शक्त जनों के हित मे दें तो हमारा कोष कभी खत्म नही होगा अपितु दिनों दिन बढ़ता ही जाएगा|

    साँई इतना दीजिये जामे कुटुंब समाए |

     मैं भी भूखा न रहूँ  साधु न भूखा जाए ||

  अर्थात्  आगम उतना ही होना चाहिये जितने मे आवश्यक्ताओं की पूर्ति हो जाए,

और नि:शक्त जनों के हित में योगदान भी दिया जा सके |

नफरतें  भर  गई  आहों में,

लाठियाँ  चलती है  राहों में,

मैं  मैं  न  रहा  तू  तू  न  रहा |

यह  राज्य  नहीं  अब  तेरा  है,

यह  सारा  इलाका  मेरा  है |

तू  मुस्लिम है  या  हिन्दु  है,

माथे  पर  तेरे  बिन्दु  है |

चलते  है  हम  अंगारों  पर,

राहों  में बनी  कतारों  पर |

भेड़  नहीं  हमें  बनना  है,

काँटों  पर  इसको  चलना  है |

महफूज़  नहीं  यहाँ  नारी  है,

अब  चारों  ओर  कटारी  है |

मानव में दानव  शामिल है,

गैरों  की गए  पनाहों में,

नफरतें भर गई आहों में ,

लाठियाँ  चलती है राहों में,

मैं मैं न रहा तू तू न रहा..||

Educational Survey at Sagarpaisa village

Briefing of Educational Survey

Date : 11^th April, 2015 Saturday

Village Name : SagarPaisa

Gram Panchayat : Kacharod

Block/District : Indore

Respondent’s Name : Mr. Mahesh Bhatia (Principle)

                                  Mr.Ravi Singh Sisodiya (Teacher)

A small village 30 kms away from Indore city named as SagarPaisa. A calm place with 150-175 households and population 1000-1500. It takes about an hour to reach there from Indore city. Literacy level at village is 30-40%.

After reaching village, we have visited government school over there. We were responded by Mr. Mahesh Bhatia, Mr. Ravi Singh Sisodiya. We questions them and we found that, the school had established in year 2005 and consists of both Primary and Secondary.

There are 4 teachers who are handling primary school, since, there is no teacher appointed for secondary sections so primary school teachers are teaching to secondary school students. The total strength of students are 143 consist of 84 boys and 59 girls. On the day of visit approx 118 students were present.

We analysed those kids knowledge with some acivities such as poem reading and board writing, asking about their future goals, inquired about their background and daily schedules.

Children over there are less aware with the technology and new emerging trends in the society. They need career guidance and motivation to study ahead. Children were shy, little confused seeing the new faces inquiring and instructing them.

While interacting with students we found that some students are sharp in studies and some students who are in 6^th Standard and can’t even write their names in Hindi. Students are very weak in English language.

Many Students are regular but the problem with irregular student is that they aren't getting support from family due to their financial insecurity. Major occupation in the SagarPaisa village is agriculture work and labor work.

As information provided by Mr. Mahesh Bhatia, children at SagarPaisa village belongs to Barela Samaj and speaks more in the language preferred in their family.

Government provide an amount of rs.5000 to school for their maintenance and many times to avail some facility for students teachers pay from their own pockets. The staff of school is supportive. Books are provided by the government but students have to arrange for the stationeries by themselves.

Many problems were faced by the students coming from other village and even by the teachers, as no proper roads are there to reach at village. People have to cross a small river in between SagarPaisa and ticha village which is very risky. Many official authorities and politicians have acknowledged this problem and promised villagers to solve it as soon as possible but still problem prevails and the outcomes are not satisfactory. Although there is possibility from next month under Pradhan Mantri Sadak Yojna the bridge will construct overthere.

In this survey it was also found that there are no proper medical facilities in village, people have to move approx 7 kms to get treatment. On a scheduled day of week i.e. on every Tuesday, Dr. Mrs.Gyatri appointed by government come for visit in village for health checkup.

Children study on floor by matting down the daris, not a single desk is available. Total 4-5 chairs are there and that to arranged by teachers on their own. No Separate toilets are there for boys and gilrs.

Another major problem in village is lack of Water. They are struggling for consumable drinking water and water to be used by school in preparation of mid-day meals for children.
