Sustainable Village

My village is blessed with pristine environment, educated youth and peaceful coexistence of human beings. It is a rural village in Ernakulum district of Kerala and majority are involved with agriculture and related activities. My Father is a farmer and my mother a home maker. When I get educated I realized the worth of education that really enlightened me and gave a vision for future. That was a time of change in my village. Later I realized that - along with education, a strong desire for personal development and a crystallized vision about society is very vital for ‘Total Development’. This was in the wake of my experiences in different campings, seminars and discussions with various visionaries. Hence I decided to start an organization for the development of students and youth in our village that focused on personal development and key interventions in triple bottom line (TBL) areas. My focus was on education, environment and character development that produced apparent results.  

NOW, We need a change. Even though some young people have come forward to associate with us, we need to tackle multitude of issues. Encroachment of public property, land mining, lack of environmental consciousness of people create a crisis situation. In order to trigger a movement for social change we need to intervene in several policy aspects like environmental activism, social and economic policies, justice and equality, women empowerment, Governance, Ecological Sustainability and renewable energy resources.  Along with educated people, we want to develop great visionaries and leaders. Green Life India Solutions, the organization we registered recently was in the wake of these challenging responsibilities. We envisioned to create a developed village through sustainable actions. 

Now, the question I face is how I should set my targets strategically. How I should proceed further to create a serious impact in the society. Impart great visions and implement these plans is a challenging task ahead. I want to see my village – a ‘sustainable destination’. Inculcate the same idea to my fellow beings in a better way is necessary to make it participatory.
