DOCUMENTARY OF RAMANAPUDI VILLAGE
VILLAGE STUDY PROVOKED NEW IDEAS
RAMANAPUDI
This is my project done recently for a competition conducted by ultratech cement pvt.ltd especially for civil engineers.
Ramanapudi(village code-28) belong to gudivada Mandal(mdl
code42) of Krishna Dt. A.P. The
population of this village is around 1500 people
Coordinates: 16°23'16"N 80°59'33"E
Reasons for choosing this
Particular Village:-
We
choosed this village because it is just 5.5 km from Gudivada Town. It is situated on the P.P.road which connects
gudivada and Pamarru, vuyyur and machilipatnam.
Primarily the people living in this village are somewhat economically
well settled. I mean that they own Huge
acres of land. They also own ancestral
properties. Due to the lack of coordination between them is the only reason for
underdevelopment. The Population is
about 1500 members including children but there are only 900 members in voters
list of the village. There are around
250 houses in the village.
Brief description of the Village:-
The main occupational activity of the villagers
is Agriculture. Some of the villagers
also depend upon the cattle rearing etc.
Here
the Average Annual Income for 1 acre land ranges from Rs.20,000/- to
Rs.30,000/-. From July to November end
they cultivate Rice. And from December
to February month end They cultivate black gram. From March to June the land remains
barren. The people earn Rs 150 to Rs 200
for 4hrs when they go as labor in between march and june. The monthly expenditure of a house hold is
ranging between Rs.3000 to 5000/-.
Millers buy the Crop from the Farmers.
Some millers transport to other states when government permits. Some Millers Sell the crop to FCI(Food
Corporation of India). We all usually know that this FCI’s main objective is to
maintain satisfactory level of operational and buffer stocks of foodgrains to
ensure national food security. When I
reached out farmers there they admit that only due to FCI intervention in
market is main reason for stabilization of price of the crop. Here 1 acre of field costs ranging from 20 to
35 lakhs as it is very nearby village to the road connecting Gudivada and
pamarru.
The land that is used for Agricultural purpose in
and around the village is 1250 acres, but at present the cultivation is done in
only 850acres. This Village comes under
Gudivada Rural Police Station.
Political Conditions in the Village:-
This Village Panchayath
consists of One President & secretary who is a government servant(as well
as paid by the government) and Seven Ward members. Except Secretary all others are elected by
the people of this village. At present
the president got dissolved. Now the
entire village is under the hands of secretary.
The Ex-President of the Village is Veerabadrarao.
This Village Got to see somewhat advancement
during the period of 2001-05. Then
President Venkatasivudu tried to the best of his level to get funds from
different sections of Mandal. In his
term the village got funds for construction of Panchayath office and anganwadi
kendram.
Industrial
Relations with the Village:-
There are about 60 to
70 factories in and around the Ramanapudi Village. The Kwality Feeds Limited which is situated
touching the P.P.Road in ramanapudi is very famous for manufacturing high
quality extruded floating fish feed, aqua feed and Cattle feed. SKS Bio Products Pvt Ltd. Is also situated in
this village which involves in production of enzymes, Bio fertilizers and
pro-biotics etc & in the same way
other biotech industry called Nature biotech is also present in this
village.
Tirumala
Diary is also situated touching this village.
There are 2-3 rice mill like rajyalakshmi rice mill and kamadenu rice
mill etc. Here in total 70
factories maximum no. are cold storage
farms are present, these constitute 40-50.
In this area the Saltiness in water is the main factor for the
establishment of cold storages.
Income to
the Village:
Ø As it is developed as
industrial area the income from industries and factories to the village in form
of taxes is 1 lakh per year.
Ø There are 4 ponds in
the village. The village panchayth gets
income of 1 lakh 25 thousand approximately per year.
Ø If there is any kind
buying & selling is done through property registrations this village gets
5% of the wholesome amount.
Approximately the amount bares from Rs.30,000 to 40,000.
Ø According to the 11th
financial funding scheme each person get 8 ½ rupees per year from the central
government.
Ø From RW-Voters Scheme
this village gets Rs.50,000 per year.
Ø Zilla Parishad funds are also ensured for
Ramanapudi every year.
Ø During 2001-05 these
villagers got Rs.5 Lakh from M.P Fund and 1 lakh 50,000 from MLA fund.
Ø From “NABARD” this
village got funds of 1 crore 70 lakhs to construct a concerte road that links 3
panchayats.
Ø This Village has 55yrs
of panchayath and till now 11 sarpanchs(panchayth presidents) handled the
power.
Ø The pivotal thing is
Mahajan Sabha which will be held once in 6months to discuss the utilization of
funds for right purpose with the all villagers.
Everything is funded by the government but the
only thing is that categories are
different. The president and Secretary
of the village may not be a literate but
must be educated the ways that they can bring the funds to village from mandal,
ZP, state and Central Funding Schemes.
The Panchayath president also should feel Onus in brining funds to the
village. This Ramanapudi Village needs a
Facelift to look better & beautiful.
Medical
Facilities:-
In this village they don’t have any
kind of medical facility but the government gave Moturu Medical Hospital as
regional medical centre. The villagers
say the ambulance will reach them within 5-10min in case of any emergency call.
Educational Systems:-
Here the education is
upto 7th class itself. That
too the school is being run by the Government.
There are about 100 to 120 students studying in the school. To pursue above 7th class one has
to go addada or billapadu villages to study. There are only 4-5 teachers who
come from outside the village. This is
the condition of educational system in the village.
Traditional
Entertainments:-
These
people go for cock fights during Sankranthi festival season(January). This is their traditional entertainment. Other than this there is no particular entertainment
for the villagers.
Caste system and Religion:-
Here the basic point to consider is that
Maximum population of the village belong to only one community(They refer
themselves as “Gollas” or Yadu Rajus or Kshatriyas”). I mean that 190-200 houses in village belong
to this particular community but even though they belong to same community due
to lack of unity they lag behind in development. 10 houses belong to Kammavaru(chowdary)
community. And 40 houses which are
situated on only one side of the village belong to malavaru(SC) community. This is the caste census of the village. Hope here in this village caste don’t play a
major roll or as a barrier for the development of the village.
Here
in this Village now a days Christianity is getting propagated very fast &
the people are also showing their own interest towards this foreign
religion. But Recently the people
belonging to a sub division of Yadav Raju community constructed a temple of
their god “Ganganamma” spending 10Lakhs on that temple. They believe that this god saved them and
being saving their village from droughts or whatever disasters.
Projects We prefer for the
Village:-
Methods
Suggested for the development of the village:
We
suggest “Drip irrigation” for the fields in the village because it
disables the wastage of water. The water
through this drip irrigation directly served to the roots. This method saves water and ferlizer by allowing
water to drip slowly to the roots of plants through a network of valves, pipes
and tubes. For Last few decades the
irrigation system in this Krishna delta is in a drastic downfall due to lack of
sufficient water resourses from nagarjuna sagar project. From past few years the average annual
rainfall is declining gradually this year it is 1,094mm only. So we prefer this type of irrigation to the
village as it is cheap, intial installation cost also less compatively.
Cottage industries-That We Suggest:----
Since our main objective is to create
sustainable income stream we will explore ways and means to develop small scale
industries where ever the local resources will be able to support such an
opportunity. Women based food processing unit, Reestablishment of indigenous
rural occupation those who belongs perticular community like fishery,
Animal husbadary, carpentary etc. We can save community's
occupation in mordernised way. The industry could be for
fruits juice canning, tomato paste canning, fish meal, frozen seafood
processing, flour packaging and bakery. This will permit remote villages to be
financially self sustaining and the creation of employment.
3. ORGANIC
FERTILIZER
With the aid of
our organic fertilizer, the farms will enjoy the benefits of being
environmentally friendly, shorter harvesting period and increased
production. The organic fertilizer has proven to increase production by up
to 40%, insect free attack, shorten harvesting period and cause no pollution.
We can use agricultural wastes as organic fertilisers by suitable composting
technology. Users of orgnic fertilisers over time can also stop
the use of chemical fertilizers, insecticide and pesticide. This will be a
great plus for the environment and cost savings for the farmers and country.
Although many of the
environmental effects of pottery production have existed for millennia, some of
these have been amplified with modern technology and scales of production. The
principal factors for consideration fall into two categories: (a) effects on
workers, and (b) effects on the general environment. We must encourage village arts like pottery,
black smithy, carpentry and hand crafts.
The existence of these all village arts for future generations reminds
them about our culture and customs of ancestors. It is responsible of every person belonging
to that particular community to preserve their ancestral art.
Eco-friendly
Storage Houses that we Suggest:-
We suggest this type of storage houses made up of cow dung and bamboo. It is preferable because it is eco-friendly and cost of making is very low.
Solar Power Project
for the Village:
We suggest solar panels as
power resource for the village due to discontinuous and fluctuated power
supply. This kind of solar power project
are being installed in Gujarat, and many of the metropolitan cities, so when we
prefer this kind of power supply to village it inhibits the global warming
effect too and makes the village as complete eco-friendly.

Unable to Cope with the Change
India is a multi-lingual and multi-religious country where people don’t have a freedom to express their views. Inferiority feeling is pumped into the blood of every citizen through a process called Education. Even though people of the country celebrated 65 years of independence, sourness of inferiority tastes good in our blood. I don’t mean the people of country are inferior to other countries. I mean we feel inferior among ourselves. There is no chance of learning the domain subject when one feels inferior to the person who teaches the subject. We just declare ourselves inferior by subjection others with “Sir” and “Mam”. “Equality” is the word that sounds, that empowers every soul. It creates path to reach high peaks in our lifetime. If the teacher and doesn’t have a relation or a bond, that the stagnation of one’s thoughts will continue thereby. The teaching is not to be considered as a profession, but to be taken to heart as a passion. I really don’t know whether every student likes to imbibe the innovative thoughts and interest of a teacher but I feel that every teacher should try to imbibe the higher thoughts, moral and ethical values to their next generations through their teaching. The inheritance of feelings and thoughts of teacher is only possible when there exits a bond that relates the 2 different hearts where there is a no question of inferiority. The character of an individual is build in class room itself not else anywhere.
According to the physiological aspects the interest or impression towards a particular subject is well created in the minds of the students when the students have special liking towards that particular subject teacher. Just few days back I have arrived to meet a lecturer who Is working in a prestigious University, under which many colleges were affiliated. To get into that university many students simply work hard day and night throughout their intermediate education. They just make themselves so recluse those 2 years just to gravitate into that university. When once I heard the plight of the so called profound university through the lecturer who is working in that university, I just came to an edge panging myself. I felt pity on their side. He described the plight of the university in a realistic manner. He describes its is a university where the selection of lecturer is done on the basis of just M.tech or Ph.d with a token of recommendation on the other track. No test or Demo is required for a lecturer to get selected into that university. At last fourth year ending, at the peak situation when the student is in a hurry to grab the btech degree then the university asks the students to fill up the feedback about the lecturers. In this university the teachers take very little burden on themselves and leave the whole things upon the students, they don’t even teach properly. Here the teaching is done imploding all the way. As we whip our crueality against animals the same way here the students were being taught. Wah….This is the university ranks top 10 in state. I assure you that no where you can see the lecturer teaching the domain subject with love and peace of mind to the students. For completion of huge syllabus the university also gives very minimum number of periods and in same way it appoints the lecturers for very low salary even not examining their talent. Here no student have guts to remark against the teacher who teaches void because of one and only reason is internal marks are in the hands of the teaching faculty. The expression Fear got accumulated in hearts of all. I also assure that maximum number of teaching faculty for freshers(1st years) oesn’t have any command on the subject what they are teaching. In engineering 1st year constitute almost same syllabus of Previous Inter 2nd year , so when I made comparisions between the teaching levels of those lecturers and these one’s just I drew all above conclusions. There In intermediate we have excellent faculty to teach group subjects who dealt with subject in deep way but here they are not even spell the scientific terms correctly. The students here are just in mere perturb. When some teacher comes here with a passion towards teaching other colleagues just discourages by saying “why you say all rubbish, I never taught them all those things, let them learn on their own.” Once think in a shared room if 3 out of 4 roommates enthuse to go to a film, hope you can assume how the mindset of fourthone turns to majority. In same way here too. There is no record of firing the lecturers for teaching badly in this university. As the same low amount of salary continues for 2 to 3long yrs, It is wish of a teacher to go out to see that frustrated amount through a long period. I can say all these because I am also one of the victims.

VIBRATIONS
Triggering New Ideas!!!
Barring
the magazines run by charitable or organizations and caste groups Circulation,
Advertisements and Paid articles are the key concepts of most magazines these
days. Good magazines are few. How do you know that a magazine is good or
bad? Some magazines oft have the cover page of a glamorous face of
a heroine or half naked body of a model. Some magazines sell on
political crisis or faces. Magazines that sell on the flesh show or political mess are selling
on the weakness or emotions of the masses. These magazines try to grow
financially. But good magazines are away from the celebrity mess, they don't
involve in glamour show. They work on the minds rather than chromosomes.
By these metric Vibrations is a good magazine. This is the magazine which details and differentiates the
different educational systems that exist throughout the world comparing them
with one another. This magazine is a great
help to all foreign language learners because it
offers lessons for French, German and Spanish
learning. This unique magazine was launched on 28th Oct, 2012 by the District
Superintendent of Police Mr. Suryachandra Rao. The editorial team comprises young zealous people of good thought and caliber. I am a part of the magazine. For authentic information on the magazine including your Queries, articles, etc talk to me or write me at gsrgokul@yahoo.co.in

THE QUINTESSENCE OF LEADERSHIP
Yesterday
I approached the doctor in the hectic timings of the day. There were atleast 200 people in and around
the premises. I always suffer with cold
all 365 days. I nearly waited for 2 and
half hrs.
I got frustrated. Then some thoughts stuck my mind..and started to think in a
practical way.
There are only 2 castes in our country
Rich Class
Poor Class.
Do you really think all our celebrities in tollywood picked
up their spouse according to their own caste.
No, Not at all. They just take
status into an account not the caste. We
middle class people just to satisfy our pride, we approach casteism. Somehow by ignorance we think this
celebrities is from our caste.
TRUTH THAT IS HARD
TO ACCEPT
“Always remember One thing:- A person in the high rank never bothers to maintain his relation with the one who is down or next to him, But Never forget a person who is down to you always bothers to maintain good relation with you.”
There are only 2 weapons in the world. 1)Money 2)Politics

I got to wait for getting my driving license for more 3 hrs in
standing position. There is not even a
single fan in the room. I cant grapple
for it infront of all so I have to wait there.
I just came to think that how celebrities get their driving license. Do they stand in the “Q” like common
people. No.
“Man Creates Fake Currency, But the Currency itself creates Fake People”-Well said by tolloywood director.
Do the politician' s son also stand in ‘Q’ to get for license
test. Not at all. These rules are strictly for
common man

HOW TO MAINTAIN A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH PEOPLE?
There are few points to keep in mind if you want to maintain a better relationship with the people around you.....
- To Lead an organization or to achieve success in whatever work you taken up...first you have to keep a smile on your face even in drastic condition.
- Think for atleast 10 to 20sec before you speak a sentence with others
- As everyone in this world is slave for Duplicity and Shown-ism...Protect those two things in others and if possible give your own uplift to others to show their duplicity.
- Every one Craves for appreciation so give a genuine Appreciation from your side.
- Involve and give the persons their own importance in the organization or the work you insisted them to do....makes them work better than before. Forcing doesn't have its way all the time.
- Be a good listener. Encourage other people to talk about themselves as much as possible. This creates a good impression on you. These days no one is patient to listen others problems and joys because everyone got themselves drowned in their own personal matters. So if you give your time to people then you get a chance to sail in their hearts.

TIME FACTOR
It was a great quote by Mark Miller that reminds me every day
"Great leaders dont think less of themselves; they just think of themselves less."
"Great leaders dont think less of themselves; they just think of themselves less."
The two important thinks that leader must have are
- A Proper Vision &
- Implementation
Without these two no leader can succeed in his/her mission. A person who want himself to turn as a leader should set his goal in such a way that he must not miss his target at any cause. And the second thing is he must put it on paper how can he implement the things in proper way.
Every person can practice this type of planning in whatever case whether in studies/politics etc. A Person aiming to be a leader should not say that he has no time. "NO BUSINESS RUNS WITH ONLY ONE AND SAME CUSTOMER EVERYDAY THROUGHOUT THE MONTH''. So no one finds a plenty of time at a time but we may get few loose minutes everyday that we can utilize in some constructive work''.

Elevate Urself as a leader
Elevate Urself as a leader
Some of the Important Points to be kept in mind if one aspires to grow as a leader:
HOW CAN WE IDENTIFY A TRUE LEADER
LEADER is always "Simple living and high thinking".
First I would like to conclude that Leadership Qualities are not inherited. We have to stive hard to gain them. As Mark Miller Say's "Our Capacity to grow determines our capacity to lead." We must be always a leader who is ready to face the next challenge but not as a leader who applies yesterdays solutions to the today's problems. A leader must always work hard to grow and also should keep in mind that "Whenever he stops growing from then his downfall starts".
Some of the Important Points to be kept in mind if one aspires to grow as a leader:
1)One must not think i only his point of view but he must be able to keep himself into other's shoes.
2)When Sensurround by even few members he must think for 30sec even before speaking one or two sentences.
3)When he has to address a large gathering he has to make a trial in front of mirror before addressing.
4)As Ken Blanchard says's "Anytime you influence the thinking, beliefs or development of another person you are engaging in leadership."
5)No one can be a good leader if the person doesn't read and absorb the biographies and life instances of so called great leaders in our history
6)Becoming a leader for life is more difficult than for short term.
7)If you want to be a good leader, first you must be a good listener.
8)If you want to be a good leader you must have language and communication skills.
LEADER is always "Simple living and high thinking".
