beyond lectures: getting 200 village micro sites made by students of #mietjammu –a remarkable initiative
i have given thousands of lectures to youth, around the world but the kind of translation of an idea i Found at MIET JAMMU, I am yet to see elsewhere
The credit for the spectacular and pioneering step taken by #MIET goes entirely to Pankaj, Sahil and the devoted teachers and students of MIET
can you imagine hundreds of undergraduate students making hashtag#microhashtag#village websites of 200 @villages from 16 hashtag#districts of hashtag#jammu and hashtag#kashmir documenting their history, culture and creativity?
The next step will be to tap outstanding hashtag#traditional and hashtag#communityhashtag#knowledge and hashtag#innovations from these villages
https://lnkd.in/d3JFrWGC
see for yourself these sites and replicate in your colleges and communities. Let us aim at creating sites in 650,000 villages of India and entire world eventually. IT giants will/may not do it but our youth can do it
A lecture on March 19, 2024 was just a trigger, action has been a great gift of gratitude from these students who I am sure will never forget their roots in future. what hashtag#MIET has done is to sow the seeds of gratitude towards the communities and socio-ecological context of their janmbhoomi/birthplaces
Keep it up, now mapping hashtag#biodiversity and non-bio-based climatic and weather, soil, rocks, water-related knowledge useful for humans, animals and agriculture and nom-farm applications mapping, products available for sale,
will be very happy to hear from any other teacher/principal or educationist who wishes to replicate
try
eventually should not every student during their 3-4 year UG education try to address one unmet need of their community? some should go forward to hashtag#meet the hashtag#unfelthashtag#need to make hashtag#breakthrough
