VDS : a model of rural development

On last 23-24th October, I was in Hyderabad in a meeting of NCRI. I gladly accepted the guest of Rajender Reddyji who is a eminent Gandhian fellow also holds state chief of Gandhi Global Family, member of AP Bhoodan Board and Chairman, Gandhian Group Education etc. Unfortunately he was absent in the city due to his pre occupied peace tour programme in north-east states but his associates takes very much care for me starting from receiving from train to droping in the station.

Water Harvesting Model
On 23rd about 3pm we visted the Vinoba Development Society[VDS] in Ibrahimpatnam of Rangareddy district about 25 km from Hyderabad, I found excited seeing the place sorrounded by hills with real nature blassed. By putting hardwork the team of VDS makes the place a model for rural development. Only four years have to be completed but you can find school with boarding of orphange children,greenary paddy field, big water reservoir, dairy firm and a big Goshala of cow,bull and other bovine which are recovered on the way to slaughter near about 700 such animals are cared more than domestic. Any poor villager who is not capable of purchasing a cow or bull can adopt and make use for his domestic purpose by submitting authentic proof about his or her need. when the donee feels can not manage for longer, he or she must return to the center but no way to be slaugtered.

The Secretary Mr Amba Dass said the center is in nascent stage more efforts needed to develop it a full model, taking a cup of tea, we returned from there. I can not forget the warm company of Naresh and Sriramalu and Padma Reddyji during my stay.
