Global market Vs Rural Village

Hi Rohini / Medha,
                  It is nice to get your reply.
Thank you for taking interest on western region and participate its change. Please try to address or focus on following area.

“…………..thanks a lot for the links, they were very helpful. but one thing i still
would like to know is problems of a very local nature. most of the sites
we see on the net are often official govt. websites. so the stuff we see
there is still on a larger scale than it is possible for us to handle in
our present framework…”

Yes this true.. You can definitely judge following few things from above statement.
-        This is all are Official data, You might expect theoretical or not updated or formal information
-        See the villages are still on backward. There is no electricity till now so it is hard to expect the information on internet.
-        If you notice most of the official sites looks like not updated…Somewhere it was written 2002 now imagine this is 2006
-        I agree the stuffs are on larger scale or not more practical approach.

Solutions:
-        You need to collect the data physically or non officially for updated one
-        To find a source who has latest information. I believe NIC (National Informatics Center) would be the best one but not sure how will help you officially or non-officially .I folds my hand on this part.


“…we want to find some specific region which has
something special to share with the rest of the world-- tribal crafts,
handicrafts, sikki tradition crafts, or even some way of sustaining
themselves…”

Well, I believe Nabarangpur would be the best place to your reach work with following reason
1.    Nabarangpur is famous of CHAU works. To be frank I do not have any date on this area but I know some tradition people they works since long time and won several awards on state as well as national level. Even few days back I was thinking to learn something but could not dues to lack of time or communication. This is unique kind of work which you will not found any over the world but it is kind of hidden inside the village.
2.    There is some kind “WORK FOR FOOD” concept working on that area since last few years. I came to know it is doing well but how far it is not sure.
3.    Nabarangpur is kind of isolated but potential village where as industrial growth is concern it has a DuraDraft manufacturing factory (http://www.mangalamtimber.com/contact.html)
4.    You will have easily access to near by BONDO Tribal People (http://www.tourorissa.com/pictures/TRIBAL15.jpg)
5.    Local resource to gain the advantage


   
“... he is poor because he doen't have the
land or labour capital to go into cultivation on a scale that would allow
him to make a comfortable income on it's sale. he is also not connected to
markets and is usually cheated by middle-men in whatever sale he manages
to make….”

           This is correct but most of the time you will get all sympathetically data where as my personal experience is concern tribal are very what they are they will behave wired if you show the sympathy which people are had been doing this and making them fool. If possible we need to make a may to create empathy rather to show sympathy. They are well aware that people show sympathy and make them fool easily. So, The challenge is how smart we are to act on empathy J ..hope it make sense to you.


“…now we can enter the scene by providing information, which can be accessed
even by illiterates( use of graphics) , let him know of govt. schemes for
funding, co-op. farming, connecting him with paddy cultivations across the
country so that they can share their techniques and introduce better
strains or farming practices, come up with technology-wise simple products
which can alert them in case of impending natural disasters, and a
hundered other small simple things, which could help a lot without costing
way too much….”

I like the concept of Graphics, Yes we can do that something like that but it recalling the old Mouse and Cat story. Who is going to put the bell on cat neck? ;) never mind… I have no idea on this area need more brain and more storming … 


“..small villages not being connected at all, and the lack of employment. i was wondering if something
like a scheme whereby the govt. supplys the material (if possible locally sourced fly ash cement or bricks) and the people have to construct the roads themselves for a bare minimum kind of wages is in existance and if not, will it work out? ….””


          I don’t think so, this all are looks like more theory approach rather than the practical.
Who has spare time to do something at least for others until unless somebody has passion or willingness to help others?
I am bit less optimistic on this part. Excuse me please..!



“…..also a new generation of young oriyas, educated and yuppie-ised, who have
migrated to greener pastures , but still seem very concerned about the
state of their home towns seems have arisen. what concrete work, and i
speak in terms of results and changes, have they done to change the
situation back home? are there any individuals who are, say helping out
with the education of the poor in his village or connecting his local
artisan with a global market? because for some one in the i.t. stream or
in contact with a foreign market it would be really easy to maybe design a
webpage which could act as an international marketplace or something along
those lines ….”

Rohini, you ask too much question I am loosing my patience to write or explain
(Just finishing one energy drink when and going for next ;)) Well I might be the wrong guy to answer
Just adding my 2 cents comments. Comparatively yes it is less change but good things are that it is changing.
There is lots of people who are getting involved or help to rural area even I too work with seedsnet ( www.SEEDENET.ORG)
The ratio looks to be less what I mean is solutions Vs problem. Governments also doing lots of work too but these are looks very slow which is almost invisible.
People did not see the computer in their life forget about the design of webpage which is unrealistic .As I told before it is not life of running paycheck to paycheck.
It is life of running daily basis where you act the instant situation. The whole philosophy might be inclined toward something like old Chinese probe.”If you give fish to a poor man he eat for a day but if you teach him how to fish he will eat or live whole life”


“…..i think that empowering can happen only when the information can reach
people and in a form that can process it and convert it into knowledge…”

True, but the information is not sufficient the challenge is adopting the information rather to defend it. We are getting hard time to adopt the change quickly.
If you able to teach somebody to adopt the change then rest of the work will be taken care…making sense J

You guys are doing pretty good work which something worth of investing time. Just keep on and keep dig the Well.

For any question call me on my cell…I am getting hard to write this long mail..:) Never mind it is my pain so thought to let you know.

Best of Luck.

Thanks and Regards,

Suresh Behera

hi
thanks a lot for the links, they were very helpful. but one thing i still
would like to know is problems of a very local nature. most of the sites
we see on the net are often official govt. websites. so the stuff we see
there is still on a larger scale than it is possible for us to handle in
our present framework.
let me try to elucidate: we want to find some specific region which has
something special to share with the rest of the world-- tribal crafts,
handicrafts, sikki tradition crafts, or even some way of sustaining
themselves which is every-day and mundane to them but can be slightly
modified and utilized not only by that particular individual but others
too. for instance this farmer in orissa has been growing paddy , it is a
practice being followed for generations. he does not use pesticides, he
doesn't necessarily need fertilizer. he is poor because he doen't have the
land or labour capital to go into cultivation on a scale that would allow
him to make a comfortable income on it's sale. he is also not connected to
markets and is usually cheated by middle-men in whatever sale he manages
to make. he is aware of the options available to him.
now we can enter the scene by providing information, which can be accessed
even by illiterates( use of graphics) , let him know of govt. schemes for
funding, co-op. farming, connecting him with paddy cultivations across the
country so that they can share their techniques and introduce better
strains or farming practices, come up with technology-wise simple products
which can alert them in case of impending natural disasters, and a
hundered other small simple things, which could help a lot without costing
way too much.

some of the stuff i read on you page like small villages not being
connected at all, and the lack of employment. i was wondering if something
like a scheme whereby the govt. supplys the material (if possible locally
sourced fly ash cement or bricks) and the people have to construct the
roads themselves for a bare minimum kind of wages is in existance and if
not, will it work out?

also a new generation of young oriyas, educated and yuppie-ised, who have
migrated to greener pastures , but still seem very concerned about the
state of their home towns seems have arisen. what concrete work, and i
speak in terms of results and changes, have they done to change the
situation back home? are there any individuals who are, say helping out
with the education of the poor in his village or connecting his local
artisan with a global market? because for some one in the i.t. stream or
in contact with a foreign market it would be really easy to maybe design a
webpage which could act as an international marketplace or something along
those lines.

i think that empowering can happen only when the information can reach
people and in a form that can process it and convert it into knowledge.

i would really like to know your suggestions and if you know of any such
possible avenues, little bylanes of info, actually, and could share with
us i would be much obliged.

thanks for your time,
rohini
