A social catalyst

Winged Fables

Pankaj Laxman Bhai Navik is a young man from a small village of Rajpipla. He is the youngest son of the family. His village ‘Jiorpati’ houses around 50 families with very few people who have hardly made it to the school. However, Pankaj changed the village through his efforts. On completion of HSC, he was desperately looking for a job but could not find one due to which he did odd jobs for almost 8 years. He was always worried about his career and was highly disappointed as he had to shoulder the heavy financial burdens of the family. Over a period of time, he realized that things he had been chasing for so long weren’t his true dreams. He wasted no time in pursuing a three-month skill-based training program conducted by a public-private company that transformed him into a man with a mission.

He began milk collection from around 4 to 5 villages and sent to district dairy. Each day he collected around approximately 500 litres of milk. Gradually, he purchased five cows and buffalos each under a government scheme. He was also interested in the agriculture sector and thought to contribute to the same. Also, he was determined to complete education alongside his work and in 2011, he got a graduation degree in Economics. Pankaj now was determined more than ever. He went on to buy six tractors and a JCB machine and allowed other farmers to use the equipment. At present, Pankaj supports the livelihood of 15 families who constantly seek his practical support and guidance.

He is inclined towards 100% organic fertilizers which have increased his yield by many folds. Besides, he uses the latest available technologies for farm irrigation to conserve water. He often educates others about the importance of organic farming and its methodology. He is an active participant in all government seminars and awareness programs.

Pankaj gladly says, “I like to approach people and help them. I am very happy about everything that I am able to do”

He surely is a social catalyst who leads by example and transforms others during the process.

My teaching techniques for English language learners.

    My teaching techniques for English language learners.     What works in one place doesn’t necessarily help at other side. That is true for teaching and learning at schools and colleges. There are certain reasons such as students' level, their family background, atmosphere, social activities, discipline and awareness factors etc. However, a teacher has to take his techniques based on his experience and observations to the class. So that he can change it from time to time. Being a learner, I jotted down some ideas for my teaching profession. At this stage, I feel that these are to be changed in the course of teaching and learning. 1) Icebreakers:- As soon as I enter the class, I try to use some ideas to make my class fresh, energetic and attentive. Maybe small activities such as a hand up, closing your eyes, taking deep breaths, rolling your hands, moving your body, clapping, touching your forehead, gargling and so on. That prepares my students for learning a language. S
