Chandigarh, November 22, 2012: An awareness camp was organized by Prakash Foundation, an NGO for farmers’ empowerment, at Palai village in Budaun
district, in which professionals from diverse backgrounds participated. A
candle march was taken out to symbolize awareness besides screening of some
useful movies. Palai village is 500 km away from Chandigarh.
Highlight of the programme was
interaction with the farmers and children in the presence of a high profile
delegation arrived in the village from Delhi and
Chandigarh.
Prominent among the visiting team included Col (Retired) Vijay S Jamwal, Life Skills
Trainer Ms Canny Gogia, US returned Management Trainer Mr Manish Bansal and
senior press photographer Mr Vinay Malik. The group was led by long-time
journalist and founder of Prakash Foundation, Mr Narvijay Yadav. Two students from
Ladakh were also part of this visiting team.
The villagers got a surprise when,
for the first time in their village, two interesting movies were screened at
the Govt Junior School
grounds, Swades and Lagaan. The villagers showed keen interest in the game of
cricket and expressed joy while watching Aamir Khan leading his cricket team
against the British team.
Mr Narvijay Yadav said, “I am really
happy to see professionals from different fields sitting in the village. I hope
the state government will now show some interest in solving the existing
problems of illiteracy, sanitation, electricity and infrastructure in this
village.”
Prakash Foundation empowers farmers through information and awareness. The NGO aims at bringing a measurable
change in the rural areas and wish to root out the conventional
limitations which obstruct the growth of the real India, where over 69 percent of the
population resides.
