Now it's time to revise our education policy because when pupils run out of the school there is something wrong with the entire system. This is the story of the four students who ran from the school from Nandurbar to Dhadgaon which is published in "Lokmat". They were travelling by road but on their feet. They decided to run off the Ashram school to their home covering the distance of near about 125 km on their own feet. They did't had money to pay as fare of the bus. On the way, the people of a village called "lahan Shahade" inquired about them. They could'nt even speak or understand Marathi language. They even could'nt tell the name of their school. The gentlemen called the police and handed the children over to them. What made me to strike is why the parents send their children to the school where their children are not safe. But I am also a teacher and I work in this district that's why I know the economical condition of the parents and the ve...

We are free now. British rule is nowhere. But the scars of the old wounds can be seen even today. The day was 16 March 1943. One battalion of British soldiers invaded a vally near Akrani Fort in the Satpuda Ranges. The soldiers attacked on several adivasi men and women who were taking shelter. Many of them killed and many of them put into the jail, calling them "dacoits". It happened so that, adivasi saint Aap Gulam Maharaj of Morwad (Now Ranjanpur) Tal. Taloda Dist.

The conflict of alchoholists and non- alchoholist arouse. The British Govt. supported the wine shop keepers because they were selling their wine. The Govt. charged Ramdas Maharaj as rebel against the British Rule. So th...

कुपोषण : After reading the High court's direction to Maharastra Government on the deaths of Kolam tribals due to starvation and Malnutrition, I, myself have decided to inform all the concerned people that the problem of starvation and malnutrition is still in the various parts of Satpuda Ranges in Maharashtra, Nandurbar District. Poor Adiwasis never eat full. The children are also compelled to be starved due to the miserable economical condition of adivasis(Tribals). Some of the poor families leave their houses and villages and migrate in search of work. Some of the migrate in the neighbouring state, Gujrat for work. They are exploited there in the daily wage of monthly wage system. Some of them go in the neighbouring Tehsils like Shahada, Taloda and Akkalkuwa. There they get the work in the farms. But the elder ones who remain at home in Satpuda always face starvation due to the lack of food and caretaker. Persons like Kishor Tiwari, the president of Vidarbha Jan Andolan should s...
