India has the capacity of becoming a superpower by the year 2020. This has been amply put forward by many world organizations. And we have the resources to make India so. Be it land resources, mineral resources or Human resources. India can be turned into land of opportunities by proper development of these resources, and by lack of proper development, these resources are fast degenerating into liabilities, especially the human resource.
We,
at Vikalp Trust, have embarked on the task of providing ‘Cultural values
to the children, employment to the youth and high-technology low-cost
production technology to the farmers’. We intend to direct the village
society towards a holistic development through proper education, a
change of attitude, promotion of organic farming and developing a sense of
togetherness.
Working towards these goals, Vikalp trust has undertaken to establish Vikalp Gyan Kendras and Vikalp Organic Farms in rural areas.
-
Vikalp Gyan Kendra: These will be chain of CBSE pattern mixed-medium schools established in rural areas not only providing good education but also keeping the children firmly rooted to their culture and imparting them such skills and worthwhile personality development so as to make them useful contributor to the society. After school-time, these Gyan Kendras will operate as community development centers for the surrounding villages, providing healthy educative entertainment, spreading awareness about the government welfare schemes, providing information about new farming technologies and organic farming, and promoting local handicrafts and rural cottage industries through improvement of technology.
-
Vikalp Organic Farms: Vikalp Organic Farms are being established in rural areas on leased land under Vikalp Trust with a view to present working models before the farmers for them to learn and adopt. The biggest hurdle in spreading of new agricultural technologies is that the farmers are not ready to believe them and also that they are not in a position to undertake any risk by adopting unknown techniques. Thus these models will go a long way in instilling confidence among the farmers towards new technologies. Cow based organic agriculture will be done in these farms avoiding use of chemical fertilizers as far as possible. Instead compost manures of various types like cow-dung compost, vermicompost and nadep compost will be used. This will improve the fertility of land, produce better quality crops fetching higher prices and increase the profitability of farming. Integrated approach will be adopted with provision of apiculture, sericulture and pisciculture, floriculture and live-stock rearing.
The Vikalp Gyan Kendra and Vikalp Organic Farms will be operated in coordination with Vikalp Samiti to provide a wholesome development to the village society trough proper development of it's Human and Land resources.
