Wardha,
25 March 2018
Mahatma Gandhi Fuji Guruji of Mahatma Gandhi International Hindi University organized a joint function under the auspices of the Social Work Study Center and the National Rural Institute Council, Hyderabad, on the last day of the faculty enhancement workshop in the seven-day rural participation organized by Mahatma Gandhi Institute of the First Session Professor of Medical Science, Department of Medical Science Ulhas Jaju spoke on the use of community health based on his experience of last four decades. He said that our work started in 40 years ago in this context so that health facilities can reach the rural people and the issue of rural cleanliness comes in front of us. In order to complete this work, we adopted the views of Gandhi, Vinoba and Sushila Nair. From which we have learned the art of connecting with rural India. In this episode we also adopted the ideas of Jaiprakash Narayan.He further said that his goal can be achieved on the basis of equality, independence and friendship. For this decentralization of power becomes the necessary condition. According to Gandhi, decentralization of power in the villagers will bring true 'Hind Swaraj'. In this episode, we adopted the ideals of Gandhi-life and adopted the acceptance of labor-based society creation. Pro Jaju further said that Gandhi dreamed of Gram Swaraj, which Vinoba ji tried to pursue through Bhoodan-Gramadan. In the district of Gadchiroli in Vidarbha, mudra-accounting is a similar use that we still get to see.
He said that Gandhi used to talk of Aryodya to Sarvodaya coordination.
We adopted the
following and intake in our life
Mantra of Laotsea:
Go to the people, Work with them, Treat them, Learn from them, Love them, Plan with them,Work with them.
He said that while working in the field of health, we took care that this 'for the people' is meant for the people. We had to deal with some problems too. People here are considered to be the most expensive health expenditures today. Without understanding the villages culture, their life experience, etc., the so-called educated people only think of working as an outsider in the name of development. In which they do not give them more than begging, in such a way, how do we call it community involvement! This is a serious question. Often we try to stop the villagers. Today, science has achieved new-new goals, but it was not adopted anywhere for good use. This is mostly used for abuse. Quoting Vinoba, he said that science is like a chariot horse, which needs to be restored in the hands of good people.
He said
that why do we think that we are going to teach the villagers in villages? We
also have to understand the welfare of the people of the villages. Referring to
an incident, he said that the women who worshiped the tree in the tree were
asked that whom you worship, their answer was that of the husband, Shiva.
Answering my question whether a goddess was worshiped, his answer was, 'Saheb
is worshiped every day.' That is, 85% of women are still bereft of their
husbands, whom they were saying satirically worshiping women.
He
further said that in order to make real benefits to the common people, we have
to change the structure of society for which the need for political motives is
high. Speaking on his experiments, he said that we did not provide any services
free of the villages and on the basis of the participation of the people there,
they were provided health facilities by collecting jowar, paddy etc. Through
this activity, the villagers tried to increase awareness of 'Right to demand'.
They also emphasized the development of the trusteeship spirit. He said that
even today, only 1.4 per cent of total GDP on health is spent in India. While
UNDP says it should be between 5 to 10 percent.
He said that on the
basis of per person sharing of resources through the Gram Sabhas and
decision-making process in the hands of the rural people, proper development of
villages can be possible. At the same time, they said that the fundamentals of
community involvement, such as follows: Approval by community, Supported by
community, Partnership by community, Participation by community
He
described this as an example that the revolution is consistent, at least the
latest. It takes 35 years for the Gram Sabhas to be entrusted to the Gram
Sabhas in villages like Mudha-Accounts. In such a village, truly all the basic
elements of rural participation can be seen. He further said that the way we
adopted to make people aware about cleanliness in the villages was this:
Initially, we started talking about the cleanliness of villagers from the
house-to-house. In this work, help from some organizations was taken along with
the participation of the villagers. In order to eliminate the defecation in the
open, each tile was made in different premises, but its use saw that people
used to keep wood, goat etc. When we talked to the elderly women there, why did
this happen! Then he told that women of every family have to bring water from
far and wide wells. For seven people in the house, they come by bathing,
washing clothes and drinking water for the kitchen. In it, now you have to kill
my daughter-in-law by bringing water separately for your tile? Then in response
I said with a laugh, why is there a reason to salute in the morning? Old age
tend to have replied that the wet ground, power shortages and scorpions, toilets
on two different banks of the men and women the way for fear of snakes. In this
way, we received the knowledge from them and taking the basis of science, the
toilet was spent on less water as per their needs. It took five years to create
and use it. In order to further implement this project in the villages, the
technique of being done by the villagers was adopted, whose ultimate purpose
was 'Gram Swaraj'. He said that no change can be brought to the village without
any public power. On the basis of power, on the basis of ethics we worked
there, creating social structure based on different economic capabilities from
casteism. Promote individual and social contribution. Shramdan, Samart
identified, that this has created a participatory leadership.
He
further said that what we found among our experiments was that work should be
done according to the needs of the rural people on the basis of their
experiences. The donation should not be the form of donation, but it should be
a bulge in the form of public power. The donor should be in the form of a
trustee and not as a donor. Resources should be in the hands of Gram Sabhas. To
do this whole work, it is necessary to take the fast along with Tantra-Mantra.
When we all discharge our social life in the form of a vow, a good society will
be built. The frozen accounts have been forwarded a lot in this regard. If we
also want the mangal of society, then such experiments have to be progressed.
Group presentation took place in the second session. Ashok Satpute, Rahul
Nikam, Gajanan Neelame, Decent Kumar presented his report based on the study of
social, economic and educational status of the audit by the ram. In the report,
he said that the educational situation there is very low and in the village

creating a Mudra-Aatta village. He said that along with the making of community
rights law on forests, this village first got it. Jairam Ramesh, then the Union
Minister for Forest and Environment, announced the right of community rights to
the forests in the village. They said that this village has donated its land to
the Gram Sabha three years ago. Now there is no personal boss on land
ownership. The Gram Sabha has given everyone to cultivate land on that land.
For the proletarian society this village has created a new ideal.
