VINAY KOCHHAR.CHANDIGARH.
The village of Naushera, located exactly 7 km from the historic city of Amritsar, needs no introduction. The beautiful buildings of not 2 but 4 government schools in this village with a population of 4000 tell the story that it does not look like a village but looks exactly like a developed area of the city. The credit for the development and progressive thinking goes to the late leader, former Sarpanch Shri Krishna Baldev and his family. Now the family has taken up the task of maintaining the thinking of their late leader. Now, development has been given an opportunity for the development of the area. The passionate thinking is doing every task of development in a strong manner. Along with being a typical Congressman, Vikas is playing the role of a social worker very well. The strength of his thinking gets strengthened when every child of the village, from educated youth to the elderly people start walking hand in hand with him.
This village has a tradition from the beginning that whoever gives importance to development, the villagers become theirs forever. This can be guessed from the fact that the Sharma family has been given the opportunity to serve the villagers for the last 30 years. The family is also keeping a strict watch on the thinking of the people. No one knows better than this family how to participate in the joys and sorrows of life. From the education of the children of poor families to the marriage of girls, they spend every kind of material from their own pocket. This village is also an example that many children from the village are getting educated and bringing glory to not only the state but also the country. To a large extent, the villagers consider the thinking of Vikas Sharma to be very important behind all this. According to them, after the late leader, they felt that maybe after our messiah, no one would care about them, but their guess proved to be completely wrong. Vikas always stands with them like a strong rock in their every happiness and sorrow.
The Sharma family worked very hard to get funds from the government for the development of roads, crematoriums, religious places. Looking at these places, it does not seem that they are not village sites, rather, they look like the look of a developed city. Everything from basic facilities has been arranged so that the villagers do not face any problem. According to Vikas, a lot of progress was made during his father’s tenure. His father provided funds for many works by going against his government, because his primary thinking was that the village is his first family. There is no one greater than him. Following his path, he himself is putting in efforts in the development of the village. When he gets the pending work completed, he feels as if he has done some good deed. The mind gets a lot of peace. In the future, he has only one thought that in some way or the other, the village has to be taken to a higher place in the map of development. For this, a blueprint has been prepared on a strategy. The thinking of an educated youth is working to execute this. In the future, something better will be seen in the development of the village.
Vikas has been very fond of books since childhood, so he does not hesitate in handing over books to children. Till now, he has changed the lives of nearly 2 thousand children by giving them books. According to him, children should love books. It changes our thinking. It helps us to know the difference between right and wrong. If a child’s life changes by reading books, then what can be better for them. His father always insisted on making him fall in love with books. Following in his footsteps, he is bringing about a change in the lives of children by distributing books.
… Future plan
This time, during the Panchayat elections, there was a reserved quota in the village. His party fielded candidates in the elections. 4 people have won. A plan has already been prepared for the future strategy. Every member of the village is being connected with his party. They are being told that the party is always standing with them. The issues on which he feels he is weak are being looked into. Corrective steps are being taken so that no mistake is repeated in the future. From the preparations, it seems that we will prove to be very strong in the future. More emphasis on this class
According to their strategy, more emphasis is being given on the poor and uneducated class. More attention is being paid to studies to educate their children. Every kind of hard effort is being made to fulfill every basic facility. From books to school uniforms, everything is being provided by spending from their own pockets, so that there is no shortage. At the same time, poor and educated people are being made aware of their rights. 50 percent work has already been done under this scheme. Work on the remaining strategy is going on very fast. Educated and intelligent youth have been included in the team. They are also being strengthened financially. Now they are getting employment in the village itself. Now no one needs to leave the city or the country.
Example of women empowerment
To ensure that women do not lag behind in any work, the thinking of development is doing many things to make them stand on their own feet. It is being told that to keep women empowerment alive, along with government facilities, many sewing centers were opened through Panchayat funds and a new example was set for them to live a high standard. According to them, women of the village earn more than men. Along with household chores, they do sewing and embroidery work very beautifully. Everyone is impressed by their work.
Gym and school have a different identity
Gym and government schools of different categories are the different identity of this village. It is said that they are praised a lot. In smart schools, children are getting mental development along with studies. The special thing is that parents are showing a lot of interest in getting education in these schools. The credit for this also goes to Sharma family, due to their efforts these schools were upgraded. Children are making their future bright in gym and playground. National and regional level players have come from this village. Sharma family has made a special contribution in fulfilling their needs.
