The suicide death of farmers in Vidarbah district of India and various other states disturbs every mind of people in the world. We people have food but we seek for hunger, but these unfortunate farmers not even have basic needs. While a portion of people develop, a major group topple down in their life which results in loss of peace in the society. Only resource that can revolutionize their lives is knowledge. Knowledge of life, knowledge of living, knowledge of money, knowledge of resources, knowledge of education etc, can be made available to them, at free of cost. We observe that these farmers are very ignorant and lack simple knowledge in life and business. We being knowledgeable can disseminate our power of education to these villagers, to affect their life.
Globalisation and liberalisation have made the farmers more competitive and farmers require more technical knowledge, when dealing with farming and associated life activities. But, same terms can be used to bring knowledge and tools available across the world, for farmer development.
So, we can design a “knowledge centre” where people from various parts of the world can be linked through internet. This knowledge centres will be available in every village under a guidance of an educated member of non-profit organisation. These centres would teach simple techniques for earning money, with the help of altruistic entrepreneurs from various part of the world through the mediators in such centres. Simple financial credit knowledge, climatic pattern, type of seeds to be sown, government aiding policies, income opportunities, new genetic varieties of crops etc, will be apprised to these villagers using internet technologies.
Schools can train students not only in education, but also in vocational training. They can be called as “Vocational schools”. For example, the morning session can impart education and while in afternoon session, schools will become a small scale industry. The students will be provided with compensation for the job, they do. So, more number of students will be attracted towards school.
Who is going to manage such schools? Whether Government! No, the management will be a NGO of that village aided by charities of various philanthropic foundations.
The products can find its market all around India, if needed, across the world. We as a citizen of our country, have a job of encouraging such small entrepreneurs. Media can be utilised with the help of government to propagate the importance of such products across various parts of our country.
