Mission

Yug Rishi Pt. Shri Ram Sharma Acharya, the founder of YUG NIRMAN Mission (the mother organisation of DSVV) has given significant importance to development and upliftment of Rural India. His motto has been that every village should be developed as a pilgrimage centre with the objective of village upliftment and village community service. All efforts be made in this direction treating this as the workshop of village deity. He has emphatically said “upliftment of 80% population (now 68%) is the real elevation of the nation. If this population remains deprived and in neglected state, then it would be illusionary to think that few handful islands of prosperity can provide a base for the progress of the whole nation. Indeed the progress of rural life is the synonymous with national progress. If this backwardness persists, then all claims of national progress, will prove hollow. In this regard his vision is :-

Every village should be self-reliant for its requirements. It should export more and import less from cities.
KUTIR UDYOG KO HUR GHAR MEY STHAAN MILEY, HAR KHALI HAATH KO KAM MILEY. (Labour-based cottage industry should find a place in every house so that everybody gets self-employment) Only this can provide a solution to unemployment and eradication of poverty. This can also check the flow from village to metro town & avoid creation of clusters of poverty in the form of slums.
Cow husbandry should be adopted as a cottage industry with agriculture farming.
Co-operation, collectiveness and industriousness should be an integral component of the development.
PARISHKRIT DHARM TANTRA SEY LOK SHIKSHAN KO VIKAS KA ANG BANEY (Refined religious system should be used as a mass motivational/educational mechanism so as to make them committed for target developmental activity.)
SAMAY DAAN (Time donation), ANSH DAAN (Petty saving for social concern) and SHRAM DAAN (Labour giving) should be brought in practice so as to develop a public developmental system.
Human spiritual evolution (development) should be made an essential component of the overall developmental process so as to develop/induce in one the spirit of selfless service to others.
A Volunteer worker involved in social service, should minimize his personal needs and lead a simple exemplary life.

Vision of YUGRISHI is the guide line and vision of the department and to translate the vision into grand reality is the mission of the department. All our efforts and activities are directed to achieve this end.

A model of rural development which can solve grass root problems and can meet the requirement of a village has been named YUGRISHI KI GRAM TEERTH YOJNA by YUG NIRMAN MISSION, which aims at developing SANSKAR YUKT, VYASAN MUKT, SWACHCH, SWASTH, SHIKSHIT, SWAVLAMBI EVAM SAHAKARYUKTA village (i.e. a cultured, addiction free, clean, healthy, educated and self-reliant village which is full of cooperation). This is a spiritual model of Rural India’s development.

Objectives

Developing such a model of holistic development is the mission of the department.

1. To develop/identify technology and programmes for the rural development in accordance of necessities of rural India based on ground reality.

2. To develop required human resources for rural development.

3. To develop suitable teaching and training programmes.

4. To develop organizational structure countrywide to organize training and developmental programmes at the village level.

5. To develop a network of efficient GAUSHALAS all over the country for holistic development of the village.

Salient Features of the Department

1. Curriculums of teaching & training programmes of ‘SWAVLAMBI GRAM VIKAS’ being executed by the department, have been designed, keeping in view that the holistic and comprehensive development of rural areas where 2/3 population of the country resides, should be in accordance with the peculiarities and needs of our country. Peculiarities of our country are that it is Rishi based, village based, Krishi based, Labour based, Rain fed, uneducated and full of diversities.

2. Developing a Public system of development to solve their problems (related to sanitation, health, unemployment, illiteracy, costly and unprofitable agriculture farming, unproductive & productive livestock, awakening and empowering women population, rain water conservation, eradication of addictions and evil traditions etc.), themselves using local human & financial resources.

Object of our curriculum is not confined only to teaching and training but to develop a new unique system of development which is based on SAMAYDAAN (Time donation) and ANSHDAAN(Petty Savings donations). Samayadan is the source of human resource availability and ANSHDAAN is the source of monetary resource availability. Thus the SAMAYDAAN, ANSHDAAN and SHRAMDAAN are the foundation pillars of the public development system. This system is working in the field as well as in the department. All our teaching and non-teaching staffs are SAMAYDAANI (Volunteers).

3. Developing Confidence in Participants (Students and Social Workers) of various teaching and training programmes who come from an ordinary educational and economic background, for their respectful and reasonable livelihood through cottage enterprises. They are given practical training for skill development of such cottage enterprises which are need based & can be established in village with a small investment and can meet their requirements and the requirements of other villagers. Such self employed persons can inspire and guide others for the self employment by establishing small scale business which in turn can help to reduce migration from villages.

4. Establishing Training centres in the field with the cooperation and help of organisational units of ‘YUG NIRMAN MISSION’ (SHAKTIPEETHS, ZONES, and SUBZONES), RACHNAATMAK TRUSTS and RACHNAATMAK KENDRAS, where from training can be given to workers about rural development and too uneducated, semi-educated and highly educated unemployed male and female youth and adults about cottage enterprises for their self-employment. 30 such training centres are working in various parts of the country.

5. Promoting physical labour based cottage industry in accordance with the saying of YUG RISHI Pt. Shri Ram Sharma Acharya “KUTIR UDYOG KO HUR GHAR MAIN STHAAN MILEY, HUR KHAALI HATH KO KAAM MILEY” “Cottage industry in every house, employment to everyone”, as this is the only solution to eradicate poverty and engage our labour resource which we have in plenty. We have to remember this significant fact that India is a country which has 16% population and only 6% land in the world; this means that we have 2.5 times more population on every unit of land. This human resource which seems to be a curse can be converted into a boon if engaged in boosting up cottage industries.

6. Department has developed a live model of Cottage enterprises as demonstration & training which can cater the needs of the village from morning to evening.

A Unique model of development for Rural India

A Social system and model of development for Rural India is being developed by Yug Nirman Mission, Shantikunj the mother organisation of DSVV, at National Level under the guidance of Dr. Pranav Pandya, Head of All World Gayatri Pariwar and Chancellor of the DSVV. The Salient features of this model are as under:

No Governmental fund is involved as this organisation does not accept it as a policy.
This system of development is based on ‘SAMAYDAAN AND ANSHDAAN. All financial requirements are met through Ansha Daan (Muththi Fund) and man power requirement of all categories is fulfilled by SAMAYDAAN.
The technologies and programmes for the development have been designed in accordance with the necessities of Rural India based on ground realities.
For small and marginal farmer’s community of India which is about 78%, a system of farming which is totally organic, based totally on personal resources and can meet most family requirements directly, is being encouraged and developed.
Cow husbandry is being promoted as the backbone of Rural India’s economy. A system of Cow based agriculture, cow based health, cow based energy and cow based cottage industry is being encouraged. A country wide network of ‘Gaushalas’ is being developed as training centres for rural areas.
For income and employment generation, a system of such cottage industries is being developed which is based on physical labour and local resources. It needs lesser training and lesser investment and can meet the important day-to-day needs of a rural communities.
In order to attain natural health and be free from ailments the people are being encouraged and trained to adopt the basic principles of AHAR AND VIHAR (Food & routine) in life. For easier and cheaper cure the Cow therapy, Herbal therapy, Naturopathy, Asana & Pranayama and Yagyopathy are being promoted as base for rural health.
An independent and parallel education system at community level is being developed in order to supplement the prevailing government education system. Establishing ‘BALA SANSKARSHALAS’ for school-going children of 5 to 11 years age, ‘PRAUDHA PATHASHALAS’ (Adult Education), for illiterate men and women, SWAVALAMBAN TRAINING Centres for unemployed youth and PRAGYA PUSTAKALAYAS to inspire and guide the masses for the betterment of life is the part of the system.
A system of ‘SAMUHIK SHRAMDAAN’ is being practiced and developed for community works like sanitation of public places, greenery development, rain water conservation, construction and renovation of roads.
Collectiveness and co-operation have been an integral part of rural life and their work culture. Growing materialistic approach and mechanization in life during the last few decades, has badly eroded this culture. This has resulted into numerous problems of rural community. This mission & university is re-establishing this culture of cooperation and collectiveness through its day to day working system. This is also being adopted as an important part of all rural development programmes.
Since the entire working system of this mission & university is based on arousing generosity and divinity in men, therefore developing spirituality is the backbone of this model of rural development. Spirituality in nutshell aims at developing morality, virtuous conduct, simplicity and generosity in life. Without inducing generosity in men, the desired benefits cannot reach the rural people, in spite of excellent planning and programmes. Also for developing social accountability in masses spirituality is the only solution.

This model of self-reliant rural development is being developed by this mission & University in the name of ‘GRAM TEERTH YOJNA’. It aims at developing SANSKARYUKTA, VYASANAMUKTA, SWACHCH, SWASTHA, SHIKSHIT, SWAVALAMBI EVAM SAHAKARYUKTA village (i.e. cultured, addiction free, clean, healthy, educated and self-sufficient village which is full of co-operation). This is a spiritual model for Rural Development.

“Waste is not a waste it is a misplaced resource.”

Emphasizing this concept Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya has run a Solid waste Management project in the university to achieve the clean and garbage free zone over here.

Solid Waste Management, Why ?

Wastes Garbage if disposed improperly and at unsuitable place then it becomes the cause of polluting the environment and give rise to several kind of fatal diseases but on the other hand if they are managed efficiently then they could become even the source of income and making the environment clean as well as reducing the cost of raw materials for the industries via recycling procedure so there requires the immediate need for waste management.

SWM, How ?

The most androus task in waste management is that of segregation. The separation of the different categories of wastes is the most difficult task one would find and sometime reject to do it. But without segregation wastes cannot become resource so segregation is the key in waste management. Here in DSVV every residential, offices hostels etc are provided with two types of bins one of blue color and other of green color.

The blue one collects the dry garbage and the green one collects the biodegradable wet garbage which is to be disposed off daily for cattle feed or for vermin composting and the dry ones are collected once in a week and are segregated and sold to the recycling industries receiving a handsome pay in return of it.

All the garbage from Shantikunj and university campus both separately the degradable and the dry wastes where degradable garbage are either dumped off manuring or send for cattle feed and dry ones are separated into different categories and then sold off.

Achievements of SWM

Terror of the monkeys which used attack on the garbage for food and sometimes attack the children is completely off.
The intolerable bad smell coming off the degrading garbage is completely finished
Cleanliness and hygiene is maintained at high level in the university.
Awareness has been widely spread for the waste management in the University.
“Gram Devatabhyo Namah” theme is turned out into reality
Waste has been made as a source of income through several ways.
