ABSTRACT

To understand and overcome the problems facing by people in rural areas and to come up with solutions for those problems, I performed my rural internship with the co-operation of NGO named MAA PREMA ORGANIZATION I have experienced 21 days of my vacation in the rural areas and gathered precious information to the problems of the people living there. This organization has a wonderful role in serving the need of the people, education for the students who don’t have mere facilities and safety of the people. I came to know the problems faced by the people in the rural areas and how to be survived in these conditions. By this internship, I became aware to the problems in rural areas and social prospects.

1. INTRODUCTION

With the growing demand and high prices leading to the under-development of the people in the rural areas, our NGO mainly concentrates on serving the needy and the poor mainly in the rural areas. With a group of nearly 30 members we have started our journey to some of the villages situated outside of Visakhapatnam. Our main aspect is to bring out the humanity from the people residing in the remote villages and give them a better knowledge about the things going in the outside world. That is why I have done my rural internship from this NGO.

4. BACKGROUND

4.1. FORMATION :-

This NGO named “MAA PREMA ORGANIZATION” was formed by MUKUND THOTA in 2011. He is pursuing B.tech from NIT BILASPUR. He got the idea of starting a NGO in his childhood. He can’t resist seeing the people in rural areas without any facilities and he thought to serve them when he grew up. When he entered his under graduation level, he came up forward along with some friends and elders to start a NGO to serve the needy. So his ambition was succeeded after starting this NGO. He got the chance to go to remote villages and serve the needy person with what he was blessed. Under his management some departments work to achieve the organization main aspects.

5.1. VILLAGES VISITED :-

Dimili

Paderu

Chittigunkalam

Chintalavalasa

Pedada

5.2. PROJECTS UNDERTAKEN :-

During the 21 days internship in rural areas of Visakhapatnam, I had visited 6 villages in my entire journey. I was mainly concerned with some of the activities like

Amrutha Kalasyam: Distribution of general items to all the people in need of them. Project Vikas: Providing qualitative and quantitative Education for all. Plantation Drive: Plantation of trees to reduce Global- Warming. Blood Donation: supply of blood to health victims.

5.3. IMPLEMENTATION :-

Amrutha Kalasyam Distribution:

This activity deals with the distribution of the necessary daily wage items like food, raw materials, soap, paste and some other daily accessories needed to live were supplied to everyone in the village who can’t afford to buy. They were all called to meet at the sarpanch’s house and were distributed to everyone and they were fed up with some tiffin’s and lunch etc.

AMRUTHA KALASYAM DISTRIBUTION

Plantation Drive:

This activity is the best of all. Due to the recent “HUDHUD” cyclone, many of the plants and trees were washed and blown away due to the high wind speed in the east coast. This has done a major damage to the environment and all the villages outside Visakhapatnam were affected a lot. So we have planted many new plants and made the villagers to take part in this activity and we succeeded.

Plantation by our organization members.

Project Vikas:

“Education is the key for development”. This is the main aim of this project. This activity has been conducted in two villages and by this we can enrich the knowledge of the children in the rural areas who aren’t able to get a well knowledge based education. They have learnt writing the alphabets and numbers and spellings of some basic words.We also gave tips for 10th class students who are going to attempt their board exams.

Blood Donation Camp:

There is no greater service than donating blood. This part of the activity supplies blood to unhealthy and accident victims. Whenever there is need of blood to any person, this collected will be supplied to the victim for free of cost.

13

5.4. PROBLEMS DURING INTERNSHIP :-

(A) Transportation: Due to the recent cyclone, all the roads leading to the villages have been excessively damaged and they were not repaired by the government. So going to these villages made us difficult.

(B) Communication:It became a big problem during our visit to villages. Many of the people were not able to understand what we are telling and some are like they don’t listen to the outsiders. This made us a bit difficult to cope up with them.

(C) Selfishness/Greediness:

We identified that most of the people are somewhat greedy when we are supplying amrutha kalasyam they were just quarrelling each other that only some people have been given.

6. ACHIEVEMENTS

A total of 21 days were spent in the villages outside the Visakhapatnam out of which we had visited 5 villages and spent the respective days with the village people.

I had learnt the cultural diversity of rural areas and Learnt how to spend time without modern accessories.

In every village, any of 10 members helped us to navigate and they gave support to our NGO for its activites.

So many people were motivated by our speeches and they tend to group with us and help with us.

7. CONCLUSION

7.1. Learning : I had learnt many things in this internship:

The difference between village and urban life The difference in culture

Communication skill Life without technology Morning with sanitary

Different ways of Transportation
