17-11-21 | Gram Seva Sangh Previous Months Updates & A Request

Dear Friends,

Here is the September and October 2021 updates of Gram Seva Sangh activities.

  • Pavitravastra  Abhiyan: On September and October 2021,  Charaka  Co-op society and Desi Trust ran a campaign called Pavitravastra  Abhiyana in different districts on Karnataka. Gram Seva Sangh collaborated with the campaign by fetching few supports like, Social Media Handling, hosting Abhiyana at Ragi Kana, Mobilizing volunteers, contributed Rs. 5000/- to another collaborated weavers organization “All India Handloom Weavers Federation” for the expenses of month long exhibition part of the campaign.

The first phase of this campaign ended at Bengaluru Chitrakala Parishath five days exhibition from 6th to 10 October. Exhibition had very good sales of handmade products and also bought awareness of handmade products importance and current dire situation of rural livelihoods.

  • Reopening of Ragi Kana Santhe: On Oct 2nd our bengaluru volunteers regular activity “Ragi Kana” which was closed due to Covid reopened with two days Santhe. Ragi Kana acitivity is a collaboration of Gram Seva Sangh and Hulkul Muniswamappa and Munivenkatamma Charitable Trust started in March 2017.

We had a grand reopening with a cause to support the handmade artisans affected by economic crisis due to covid. We are looking for a fulltime volunteer for Ragi Kana to strengthen its existing systems and take such activities to other corners of the city and to different cities. Please do refer if you come across such passionate people to work with us.

  • Spinning Activity: On Oct 2nd in Mysore Ramakrishna Park, our friend Sachidhananda K J (Sachu) and other Mysuru friends organized a beautiful program of inaugurating the “Emdy – Musically drawn” box charaka. This box charaka is fine-tuned good quality model of existing box charaka to spin the cotton yarn. Sachu said sometime during his journey towards charaka “Spinning is not merely drawing yarn, it’s a process of drawing ourselves”. Santhosh Kaulagi, our senior member and constructive worker from Janapada Seva Trust, Melukote inagurated the Emdy-Box Charaka. Mysore spinning group spun the yarn and Local Bicycle group Trin-Trin had a Cycle jatha as part of the event on Gandhi Jayanti. Gram Seva Sangh is part of this spinning activity effort by Mysuru friends, we are working towards taking the spinning activity across the state as the bridge between city and village.

ನನ್ನ ದು:ಖದ ಕಟ್ಟೆಯೊಡೆದಿತ್ತು!


ಪವಿತ್ರ ಆರ್ಥಿಕತೆಯ ಜಾರಿಗಾಗಿ ಇತ್ತೀಚೆಗೆ ನಾನು ಕೈಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದ ಉಪವಾಸ ವ್ರತವನ್ನು ಬೆಂಬಲಿಸುತ್ತಾ ಕೆಲವು ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರು, ನೀವು ಕೈಗೊಂಡ ವ್ರತದ ಸಮಯ ಸೂಕ್ತವಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ ಎಂದಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಉಪವಾಸದಂತಹ ಕಠಿಣ ಕ್ರಮವನ್ನು ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳುವ ಮೊದಲು ಯೋಚಿಸಿ ನಿರ್ಧರಿಸಬೇಕು ಎಂಬುದನ್ನು ನಾನು ಒಪ್ಪುತ್ತೇನೆ. ಗುಳೆ ಎದ್ದಿದ್ದ ಬಡವರ ದೀನ ಮುಖಗಳನ್ನು ಪತ್ರಿಕೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕಂಡು ಧಿಡೀರನೆ ನಿರ್ಧಾರ ತಳೆದಿದ್ದರೆ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮಾತು ಒಪ್ಪುತ್ತಿದ್ದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿ ಹಾಗಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಚರಕ ಮುಚ್ಚಿತ್ತು ! ಚರಕದ ಪರವಾಗಿ ಸಹಾಯ ಯಾಚಿಸಲೆಂದು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಬಂದಿದ್ದೆ. ಹಾಗೆ ಬಂದವನು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ನನ್ನ ತಮ್ಮನ ಅನುಕೂಲಕರ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ, ನಿಮ್ಮಂತೆಯೇ, ಅನುಕೂಲಕರ ಬಂಧಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದೆ. ಆಗ ಗುಳೆ ಕೆಲಸಗಾರರ ಮುಖ ಪತ್ರಿಕೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕಂಡೆ. ನನ್ನ ದು:ಖದ ಕಟ್ಟೆಯೊಡೆಯಿತು. ಯಾವ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಯನ್ನು, ಬಡವರು ಗುಳೆ ಏಳಬೇಕಾದ ಸಂದರ್ಭವೇ ಬಾರದಿರಲಿ ಎಂದು, ಎರಡೂವರೆ ದಶಕ ದುಡಿದು ಕಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೆನೋ, ಯಾವುದು ಪವಿತ್ರ ಆರ್ಥಿಕತೆಗೊಂದು ಗಟ್ಟಿ ಮಾದರಿಯಾಗತೊಡಗಿತ್ತೋ, ಅಂತಹ ಚರಕ ತನ್ನದೇನೂ ತಪ್ಪಿರದೆ ಮುಚ್ಚಿತ್ತು. ಇತ್ತ ಇಡೀ ದೇಶದ ಬಡವರು ಹಸಿದ ಹುಳುಗಳಂತೆ ಮೇಲೆದ್ದು ಹರಿದಾಡತೊಡಗಿದ್ದರು. ತಮ್ಮದಾದ ಯಾವುದೇ ತಪ್ಪಿರದ ಈ ದೇವರಮಕ್ಕಳಿಗೆ ಶಿಕ್ಷೆ ನೀಡುತ್ತಿರುವ ನಾವು ಪಾಪಿಗಳು ಅನ್ನಿಸಿತು. ಉಪವಾಸ ಕುಳಿತೆ.
