In response to the invitation for World Youth Conference, Srilanka
I was born and brought up in a rural agrarian village
where my parents are still striving to flourish our land by their consistent
hard work and perseverance. I felt surprised when I saw the list of
marginalized categories; here rural community/young farmers and Young people
with low social and economic backgrounds belong to where most of us are in this
group. When I notified with events like international youth conference, my
heart fills with joy unspeakable.... because our dry childhood, adult age or
even young age never offered us any such wonderful opportunities to explore
this world. Almost all belong to agriculture or unskilled works. My father do
agriculture related works, rubber tapping, wall painting and similar kind of
unskilled or semi skilled work. Though my parents are not educated, I have deep
respect and love for their optimism and confidence on me which they keep always
with a hope.... we will also have a bright future.
I
do stand up and speak out for social causes. I would like to call myself
'special' - because it seems uncommon - a young boy from the hinterlands of a
village seeks to find solutions for many reasons. The organization I founded
for the development of sustainable concepts and Students development spreads it
wings for the welfare of the common men and well being of children. I realized
that only knowledge can obliterate the darkness of ignorance and people should
thirst for knowledge to develop themselves and the society. Here we stand for
education, career development and character solution. Also the understanding of
sustainability forced me to speak out for environmental conservation and
socio-economic sustainability. In nut shell I am an academician cum a
practitioner group - who speaks and act simultaneously for the equitable
development.
