Dear Ones, 
This is to share with you about our next Rural Development Dialogue for College Students (enrolled in UG/PG courses) scheduled in June 1-6, 2018. Kindly find attached brochure and poster for the same. It would be very helpful if you can circulate the same among college students in your network so that they can participate as per their individual interest.

More about the Dialogue:
‘प्रश्न विकास का’ is a Rural Immersion Dialogue that has been designed for college students willing to engage in social projects around the country. The Dialogues helps its participants to understand the space of rural communities from the lens of Self Reliance while taking them on an experiential journey of six days that includes simulations, field visits, documentaries, meditation etc. The Dialogue also examines advantages and disadvantages of Self-reliance, Government interventions and Market based systems, thereby encouraging its participants to strike a balance among them while thinking about their initiatives to impact communities.




With love,

Hello Di,

The response has been very good so far. We have already conducted 8 dialogues and three more are planned in May and June. We are getting working professionals from Corporates, Government and NGOs, college students from multiple fields and school students as well. In the process, we are getting lots of opportunities and perspectives to learn from.

Sharing with you two testimonials from our recent participants:

"The question of development" is not a dialogue which will serve you the answer on platter. This workshop rocks you to the core and makes you question yourself and your understanding of the world development. It was in this workshop that I realized how loosely I have used this word over and over again in my life without even understanding what lies in the core. This workshop helped my reshape my views about villages and myself. The journey which began in a small "Tara Hall" doesn't end after those 6 days but actually starts after those. The amount of research and thought that Ashish has given while developing this workshop is amazing. Above all the patience and calmness he brings along with him stays with you for days after. These 6 days rocked me and pushed me towards my dream of Sustainable Development of Villages. This dialog helped me understand why I had not been able to and what it takes actually to walk on this path.I would like to say this to anyone who is coming to the workshop "Be open to challenge yourself. Your Beliefs. Your Concepts. Your versions of Truth. Your Core. Be Ready to get Transformed into something new."  - Rahul Garg, Haridwar, Uttrakhand

"My Learnings in the Dialogue were:

- The more I go inward, the deeper and further I will go outward.
- When you design a plan for others it is different from the plan you design for yourself.
- The importance of being stable (sthir) so that I am not swayed by externalities. And I am able to understand without getting lost in emotional high, the opposing viewpoints.
- Unlearning. There is a lot of unlearning to happen. More than learning, unlearning.
- Self Reliance. The biggest shift was the perspective on Self Reliance. 
- I realized how Self Reliance was systematically undermined for flourishing of markets.
- I deepened my theoretical understanding of 'growing your own food', getting back to farming.
- The visits to the community to validate the simulations were super effective.

- Aditya Minocha, New Delhi

Baaki phone par baat karunga kabhi!

Love,

Ashish
