Suppose each trainee during the one-year BEd course is prompted to do something responsible won’t
that collective act lead to a
transformation? Recently, I came
across an innovative suggestion in a book gifted to my College Library, entitled Transforming
Indians to Transform India. The book
is part of a Chinmaya Mission Initiative and is published by Chinmaya Udghosh,
Chennai August 2012
12 Months, 12
Resolutions- 1 Transformed citizen..
Pick a resolution each
month
1.I
will volunteer my services at a social service project and inspire friends to
take up some cause too.
2.I
will not give or take bribes under any circumstances, and will also stop others
from doing so.
3.I
will get to know my country better by
exploring my town/state/country and visiting national monuments.
4.I
will obey traffic rules at all times.
5.I
will organize a neighbourhood cleaning drive in my locality.
6.I
will create awareness amongst my peers
about the India Armed Forces, - the Army , Navy, Air force, etc.
7.I
will study and then share simple
electricity-saving tactics with as many
people as possible.
8.I
will walk/cycle when possible and restrict my usage of motorized vehicles.
9.I
will organize a van mahostav, or
green drive, in my neighbourhood to plant and protect trees.
10.I
will tutor underprivileged children to help them with their studies.
11.I
will learn Hindi and one other Indian
language that I don’t know.
12.I
will not litter, and will encourage others not to litter.(P44)
Shouldn’t
these find a place in the
co-curricular activities of the
new BEd. Curriculum?
