Mantra of Self Dependence

To be successful in life sometimes it required inspiration or role model and following it with dedication and hard work anyone can open the door of success, prosperity and achievements not only for himself but also for community/everybody. More then sixty five percent Indian inhabitants are villagers and for there basic requirements and development they have to look towards government and politicians, being a large country financial help from government reaches to rural India often not enough and young villagers attracts towards urban India for upliftment of there economical condition, but if youth get opportunity in there home (village) then it will not only bring prosperity to villages but it will also help cities of India to avoid from over crowded .I have read somewhere a true story of a villager from India with his will power, hard work and cooperation from villagers not only he made his village self dependent but it’s a lesson for other villages also to stop looking towards government aid and create opportunity in village .
The story of successful villager is goes like this, in a village of Kuthambakam which was backward decade ago and situated in Chennai of Tamilnadu state. Resident of this village Alango Rangaswami following Mahatma Gandhi values change the picture of Kuthambakam .Born in a Dalit family he spent his life in the atmosphere of tension ,untouchability.It was common scenario to see husband beating his wife and family of higher class torturing Dalits.Average resident of this village was illiterate and drunker. Despite these conditions he studies seriously and after passing middle school Alango Rangaswami was the first Dalit to get admission in Engineering College. Being a brilliant student after graduation he get job, but before accepting the offer he thought to meet his family which was time after five years and seeing no change in the condition of villagers, it hurt him badly and think if I do not utilize my education for my own then my education is useless. First he focuses on the reason of poverty in the village. Like other villages of India farmer of his village also doing farming but for their needs only. He not only studied his village but also surrounding villages and found people spend almost six millions on to there basic requirements and found it the reason of poverty in village. Then he think how to motivates these villagers so that they lift there economical situation. After becoming Sarpanch of village in lot of meeting he educated villagers of his imaginations. In the beginning when he told people to produce lot of things in village itself people find it unrealistic but with contribution of villagers after he convince in the beginning they plan to produce only essential items. Later on they add more things in the list and after passing of some months people were amazed to see the result whom Alango Rangaswami share with them they found it unbelievable. Changing the picture of village Alango Rangaswami become famous in other part of country also. Later on when villagers consider to built houses then Alango Rangaswami advise them we should have to forget the cast be belong to and cooperate each others. slowly slowly condition of village change and alongwith it peoples’ mentality also change. Youth starts believing that in there village lot of opportunity are available and they need not to proceed towards big Cities.
Lot of developing countries of world are accepting the model of Alango Rangaswami but unfortunately in our country its still not get any appreciation from any other village of India and still they are depend on government money to meet their requirement for development or maintance of there village.
