Mahila Divas (March 8)

Women‟s day was used to drive home to Apna Skool boys and girls and their parents that in a

progressive society there should be complete gender equality; men and women equal rights and

responsibility. Both boys and girls need to go to school and all professional avenues must be

open to girls. It is not right that boys and men go to work and earn livelihood and girls and

women remain at home doing the chores. Boys and girls share their works. Girls should be

trained to work in any sphere she has inclination for and women become equal partners with

men in having rights and shouldering responsibilities.

Symbolically boys did all the chores and wanted girls to not work today but holiday.

Niranjan succeeds in curbing Alcohol Consumption by his parents.

“My name is Niranjan Kumar and I study in class 7. My

mother‟s name is Urmila Devi and my father‟s Krishna Mojhi. I

come from Jamuava village situated in Gaya district in Bihar

state.

My father had a debt of Rs 10000, because of which he had to

submit himself to work in Devpur brick kiln in Chaubepur for six

months. Together with my brother and sister I started attending

Apna Skool at the brick kiln site by Jagriti Bal Vikas Samiti. I

was very regular at the school.

My father drank hard liquor every day and there was often

quarrel between him and my mother. They were also quarrelling with neighbours on

some issue or another. When Didi met us in our Bal Sabha and told us about how

drinking alcohol is a big health hazard and suggested that we should persuade our

parents to give up both smoking and drinking it made a strong impression on me. She

was emphatic that there is absolutely no use in such indulgence. That they are

necessary after hard day‟s work is just an excuse and indeed is false.

That very day I began telling my father the harmful consequences of alcohol; in

particular that it will slowly and surely affect his health. I told him that if he does not make

a serious attempt to give up alcohol (and tobacco), I will prefer to go far away elsewhere.

I am happy that he agreed and right away reduced the frequency of drinking to two days

a week and very soon, he said, will reduce it further and soon give up all together. He

has already seen that there is much saving for the family. Money saved will go to better

living for the family.”

Visitors

This month saw many visitors to Apna Skool. Dr Anshuman Gaur is a new faculty

member in the Department of Material Science at IITK and is welcome addition to the

family of friends of Apna Skool. Akshaya Saxena from Delhi, who conducts IIT Coaching

Institutes for underprivileged, visited the Tatiyaganj centre and demonstrated simple

Science experiments.
