Today myself and Saravana visted AG villages VKC in Karaikal

Today myself and Saravana visted AG village in Karaikal to learn about the functioning of the Village  Knowledge Center(VKC) there. It is run by MSSRF (M.S.Swaminathan Research foundation) with the help of TATA sons, Microsoft,Wipro, ISRO etc. Last year we provided a Public address(PA) system to the VKC.

Village Knowledge Workers are helping the villagers in getting the necessary knowledge through various sources like Newspapers, Books, Phamplets, Trianing Programme, Exposure visits, Camps, Phone and Internet.

Our PA system has simplified their work, as with a switch of a button they can
convey the news to all 789 people of this village.

We (New Earth Welfare Association- NEWA) are planning to create a VKC at village Kalikuppam within 26th Dec(5th Tsunami Anniversay).The goal is ambitious but together myself and saravana feel that we can do it. Premnath will join us next weekend.

Yesterday we Visited Kalikuppam to plan for the Village Knowledge Center inauguration b4 26th Dec.Met Panchayat members and our new Volunteer sister Vasantha.

Will update you all about the developments.
