Personality Development Camp, Yavatmal

11 December 2005

Centers in Vidarbha Region
Vivekananda Kendra Nagpur Branch has decided to spread the span to many regions in Vidarbha. Yavatmal is one of these regions. Yavatmal is 4 hours from Nagpur by State Transport Service.

Occasion for the Camp
Vivekananda Kendra conducts “Bharatiya Sanskruti Pariksha” each year to promote awareness about Indian Culture and History amongst students and citizens. This camp was organized for meeting all the participants of this exam held at Yavatmal and also for prize distribution for those who have passed the exam.

Pravin and Ideal
In the camp while conducting the first session, I asked some questions to the students. One of the questions was who is your ideal? To our surprise some of the answers for the ideal, was Pravin. Students have written that their ideal is Pravin. Pravin was student amongst them. On further inquiry we learnt that he is the students getting the first prize in this exam this year. His answers were different and have many additional concepts even not in the text book.

Who is Pravin?
Pravin is a mischievous looking small boy. He told us that he has a sister with brain tumor so she does not attend the school. His big brother runs a “Pan Thela” and mother and father work in fields. He studies in a “Zillah Parishad School” in Moha, a village near Yavatmal. His madam asked them to study for this examination. This examination required all the students should buy the text book prescribed for the exam. They were not in a position for buying even a single book worth Rs.30. Their madam made one copy of the book available for them to study and they studied for the exam by sharing the same book in the group of 8 students who prepared for the exam.

Example for others
Pravin and his friends has set example for others. If you have strong desire to study and get success no one in the world can stop you achieving it.
