Approach Establish a model AIM Institute under an Agricultural University

offering diploma courses for students who have completed SSLC and PUC

Medium of instruction for SSLC pass students will be the regional language (following the existing curriculum)

Medium of instruction for PUC pass students will be in English (following our proposed curriculum similar to the Associate Degree curriculum of Community Colleges in US)

Focus of the curriculum: Agriculture Information Sciences Management Curriculum would focus on agricultural practices,

agricultural information sciences, and agricultural farm and marketing management of the key regional crops

16

We need your SUPPORT! Contact: rgowda1@udayton.edu

We request the Honorable Vice-Chancellors of BHU and Arunachal University of Studies to offer two year AIM Diploma (Associate Degree?) Program for PUC students preferably in July 2014.

We seek your participation, support, feedback, and sponsorship for: Organizing a Workshop at the BHU International

Alumni Meet in December 2014 to formulate a detailed plan and strategy for seeking support of the Central and State Governments

Establish a non-profit organization in India and US to raise funds and other resources for nanoBHUs (AIM Institutes) 17

Education Initiative

Mission and Inspiration Our mission is to make available quality education at an

affordable cost for the children of deprived rural communities. As a first step we have undertaken to build a good rural school in Varanasi.

The project has been conceived by a group of senior professors of the BHU. Some students associated with us had started an informal school for children in a village nearby.

The school was located in a tin-shed with mud floor, lent by one of the villagers. Within two years it attracted some 40 children. Nearly half of them, mainly girls, were not attending any other school. This was because their parents did not consider education necessary for them, or were too poor to afford it. Others were enrolled in a government primary school where hardly any teaching took place.

All these deprived children were keen to have a decent education. They had realized that it was the key to a better future. This first-hand encounter with the harsh social reality prompted us to undertake the present project. 25

Vision of Quality Education 1. A good education should equip children with

the knowledge, skills and values needed to become productive members of the society and to succeed in the modern socio-economic set-up.

2. Simultaneously it should broaden and refine the social and moral temper of the students so that they can grow up as caring and responsible citizens of a modern democratic nation.

3. A rural school should also serve as a catalyst for promoting the socio-economic and cultural growth of the community in which it is located.

26

Plan for Building the School The Trust was formed to raise the resources needed

for building the school. It is registered under section 12A of the Income Tax act and the donations to it are eligible for tax exemption under section 80G.

The estimated cost of building the school with adequate facilities is Rs. 5 Crore.

The project will be executed in two phases. In the first phase a junior school (up to class VIII) will be built. In the second phase it will be extended up to the higher secondary level (up to class XII)

Our calculation shows that if the initial capital cost in building and equipping the school is met from public support then the running cost can be met even with a modest fee structure.

27

The People Six of the Trustees promoting the project are

senior professors of BHU. The other Five are highly respectable persons

from other walks of life. Our motivation in taking up the project is to

extend a helping hand to those who are less fortunate than us.

Having succeeded in life we feel it is our moral responsibility to give something back to the society which gave us so much. And the best way we can do so is by creating a model for good education for deprived rural communities.

28

Milestones & Road Ahead Purchased 28,084 Sq. Ft. land l to launch Phase I

(up to Class VIII) in the village Kosara (Mirza Murad area), 25 km west of the Varanasi the funds came from families and friends

Need to raise 2.0 Crore for Junior School and 2.5 Crore for Higher Secondary School.

I have no desire for Kingdom, no desire for Heaven, no desire for Moksha.

The only desire I have is to mitigate the sorrow of the living beings who are ridden with sorrow.

I want to shine light into the darkness before peoples eyes.
