We hope that even if the participants took back a few lessons from this gala event, it would go very far in entrenching the basic tenet of unity in diversity. The participating children are now in a position to understand how small efforts on each of our parts can ensure not only harmonious co-existence between diverse people, but also how each of us has a stake in the collective phenomenon of sustainable development. The children gave beautiful expression to their ideas through paintings, stories and poems. We are hopeful that this material will be helpful in setting up exhibitions and will further inspire young minds to explore the true modern meaning of Satya and Ahimsa.

Jal Mahotsav - 2010





Jal Mahotsav 2010

‘Water Festival’

The Jal Mahotsav 2010 was inaugurated on 22nd September 2010 by Shri Mahipal Maderna, Water Resource Minister Government of Rajasthan, amidst an atmosphere of celebration and joy. The Jal Mahotsav 2010 was designed to be an intensive and fun learning experience for young participants with particular emphasis on water conservation and sanitation. The opening ceremony was made enthralling by the students of ‘Netraheen Vidyalaya’ (School for the blind) and Ms Namrata who, through music and song, narrated the story of water and the current challenges faced by the people of Rajasthan. The festival was declared opened with the dignitaries lighting floating candles in a wide mouthed earthen pot. This symbol reflected the problems relating to the life giving elixir and the solutions which in the words of former President Dr. Abdul Kalam, must come from ‘Ignited Minds’. The spark of inspiration for the water festival was provided by three wonderful human beings. Mrs. Nasira Sharma, whose novel ‘Kuiyan Jaan’ is in itself the complete story of the water situation in India; Mr. Amrit Lal Vegad, famous writer and painter who has dedicated his life’s work to the river Narmada and who is the chairperson of ‘Narmada Samagra’; and Dr. Madhu Pant who has dedicated herself as an educationist to nurturing the innate creativity of children. Together, they formed the three pillars that held aloft the Jal Mahotsav.

  • Supported by UNICEF and CCDU, the Jal Mahotsav had the following three broad aims in mind –

1. Spreading Awareness :
During the course of Jal Mahotsav, (through performing art, creative writing, painting and discussion) we aimed to make the participants aware of the urgent need to conserve water and carefully manage its consumption. We also aimed to make participants aware of how faecal contamination was spread, especially via contaminated water, and how they could keep water safe and families healthy. Our objective was to sensitize our young participants to respect our most precious resource - water and to motivate them in turn to spread awareness amongst their peers.
2.
Training :

All workshops/activities were geared to equip the participants with sufficient practical know-how so as to enable them to take action at their individual level. This included the basics such as managing domestic consumption, basic roof top rainwater harvesting, tips on good personal hygiene, community hygiene and how to keep water safe to drink
.

3. Information Dissemination :
  • Demand Management – Stressing judicious use of water
  • Traditional ways of saving water
  • Roof top rain water harvesting
  • Artificial recharge
  • Recycle and reuse
  • Purification of water
  • Safe Storage of water
  • Basic Hygiene –
  • What are the causes of diarrhoeal disease?
  • Ways to reduce diarrhoeal disease – Including washing hands with soap or ash before meals, after nature calls and safe disposal of excreta.

He also cleared the doubts which were raised by the participants.

  • Children were very happy after this workshop as there doubts were dispelled through scientific explanations and experimentation.
24th September, Day 3
(Number of Children - 730)
Creative performance - Group Dance, Group Song and Skit
Resource persons:

Drama & Skit:

  • Mr. Beni Prasad (Senior Stage Artist)

Time limit was 5 minutes for dance and group song and 10 minutes for skit. Every participant gave his/her best and it was really difficult for the judges to decide the winner in each category.

25th September, Day 4
(Number of Children - 520)

On the last day of the festival selected performances of dance, skit and group song were asked to put on a repeat show for the benefit of one and all. Moreover all the banners and posters created over the past few days were displayed and winners were given prizes and certificates for their performances/efforts.

The most important part of the day was appointment of “VARUN DOOTS” (Water Ambassadors) who will carry on the task of promoting water conservation and sanitation in their communities, schools and neighbourhoods. 21 of the most efficient and committed students among the participants were selected as “Varun Doots”.

The three pillars of the Jal Mahotsav – Mrs. Nasira Sharma, Mr. Amrit Lal Vegad and Dr. Madhu Pant, led the “Varun Doots” as they took their oath of office. Each water ambassador was presented with a coconut and our three chief resource persons explained the symbolism at length to all present. Just as the coconut grows by the sea shore surrounded by saline water and yet sustains itself to store sweet nourishing nectar, so must these young volunteers rise to the occasion and rejuvenate civil society into preserving the life giving elixir.

The ceremony was also attended by Ms Amita Shaw (Director, National Bal Bhavan, New Delhi), Mr. Brijesh Prasad (Vice Chair Person of National Bal Bhavan, New Delhi) and Mr. Pankaj Mathur from UNICEF.

Results and Outcome
A total of 3000 students attended the Jal Mahotsav 2010. Each of these students was required to answer a questionnaire before and after the activities that they participated in. A comparative statistical analysis of the results of the two questionnaires revealed that only 8% of the participants were able to draw a correlation between good personal hygiene/sanitation and water/vector borne disease prevention. Surprisingly, the results in this regard were the same for students from government and private schools. Also notable was the miniscule minority of educational institutions that provide soap in student washrooms.
Post activity questionnaires showed a significant improvement with 98% of respondents answering correctly and showing a proper understanding of the ‘F’- Diagram relationship. The immediate result of the Jal Mahotsav 2010 has been the significant increase in awareness, knowledge and skill of the 3000 direct participants.

Another less expected but valuable outcome has been the demand from students (and accompanying teachers) that their institutions make adequate hand washing facilities available.

21 new ‘Varun Doots’ (Water Ambassadors) have been selected and tasked with spreading the knowledge and skill set acquired during this festival to their peers in their schools and localities. It is conservatively estimated that this will enable the message of the festival to reach out to an additional 10000 people.

As a result of the creative games and sports workshop, four engaging and fun learning games have been devised to deliver the message of the Jal Mahotsav. These games have been forwarded to participating and member schools and are expected to be incorporated into the children’s play schedule. This will not only multiply the outreach of the Jal Mahotsav, but the repetition of the various messages via these games will help reinforce the children’s psyche.

Furthermore, many paintings, posters, Banners and stories/essays have been shortlisted for use as resource and exhibition material for future use.

The first monthly meeting of ‘Varun Doots’ was held on 24th October & 31st October. These ‘Varun Doots’ are tasked with compiling annual reports from within their institutions and peer groups, These reports shall form the basis of further statistical analysis of the final outreach as well as the probable percentage change in the behavior of the target group.

विशेषज्ञों ने प्रेमचंद के समय परिवेश विचारों की जानकारी देते हुए कहा की प्रेमचंद की लेखनी ने समाज के म्रत्प्राय स्वरूप में शहीदी बारूद का कम किया। जिसके कारण अंग्रेजों ने उनकी पुस्तकों पर पाबंदी लगा दी थी।
बच्चों को प्रेमचंद की लिखी हुए छोटी-छोटी कहानियों की किताबे पड़ने को दी। जिसमे बच्चों को इन कहानियों के परिवेश, वातावरण और पात्रों की मनोस्थ्ती पर अपने विचारों को अभिव्यक्त करना था।
