Shailendra Laddha, Susari (Dhar). When India became independent, Mahatma Gandhi had resolved to build a country which also included that daughters should study and progress. It seems that this dream of Bapu is coming true in Susari of Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh. Here in the government hostel, such wonderful facilities and environment are being provided that tribal daughters feel proud after getting these facilities and seeing all this, wherever Gandhiji’s wife Kasturba would be, she would be smiling happily.
A different atmosphere in Kasturba Gandhi Girls Hostel
Actually, there are reports of mismanagement in government hostels, but something different has been done in Kasturba Gandhi Balika Hostel Susari of Nisarpur block of Dhar district. With cooperation and public support, a message of innovation was given by providing more facilities than private hostels for 100 tribal girls studying from class 9 to 12. If you see, the condition of government hostels operating in most of the areas of the state is bad, but the girls living in this hostel are being given a healthy, clean and safe environment.
Rajasthani Mandana and Pichora Painting
The hostel complex is two-storeyed and has 25 rooms. Four girls live in each room. A month ago, in the first phase, Rajasthani Mandana and Pichora paintings were done on the walls of 12 rooms and beautiful curtains were installed on the windows and cupboards. Also, carpet and painting work has been done in the entire complex.
CCTV cameras for security
Eight CCTV cameras have been installed in the campus for the safety of the girls. A chart has been made at the gate for studying outside the campus. For self-defense of the girls, yoga classes along with karate and judo are conducted. Highly educated teachers take classes on different subjects every day in the smart coaching class. A library has been built in the campus with public cooperation. Private doctors also conduct health checkups every month. To make the girls self-reliant, training is also given from time to time in sewing, painting, making best from waste and how to make traditional tribal costumes. The purpose behind this is that if a girl is unable to get a job after her studies, she should become self-reliant by doing such work.
the food is always hot
To ensure that the girls always get hot food, the food is kept warm in the hostel by heating water with electricity and using its steam. Sometimes, as per tribal tradition, separate arrangements have been made for cooking food on the local stove and Khapri. Along with the arrangement of food on the dining table in the mess, RO water has also been arranged for drinking.
Use 10% of your salary with public cooperation
My schoolmates are also helping me in all the work. I have collected Rs. 1 lakh from the people at the local level and I spend 10% of my salary on this work. My purpose behind this is that if your living environment is good, then you will not face any problem in studies. – Radha Dodwa, Ashram Superintendent
