Real Heros : CNN IBN Initiative

This weekend was a perfect "chilling @ home" weekend! Since MSA's exams were done, we had ample time to just chill out @ home....On saturday night I happenend to watch this 1 award function which was 1 of its kind, and inspired me to blog it!!

This was an award function for the "real heros", in the sense the people who are actually making difference @ ground level. People from various feilds of work, were nominated and during the award function, their story and work were shown!! It gave me goosebumps Wintessing such heros! Medocs, education, small scale industries, people all over the place are doing things to make up for a better future! I wouldnt remember the names, but the deeds that really stuck to my mind are some follows:-

In Banagalore, there is 1 person who has started a small scale industires, where by they are making roads out of plastic! I mean what better way to put plastic to use!! Apparently 550Km of Bangalore roads are now made of plastic!!! Hats off to you buddy!!

In Ladakh, there is 1 ex-major general, who is called the "glacier man"!! Reaons:- All round the year irrigation is possible in Lakadk, thanks to him, he is found a way to preserve the "glasiers" and that water is used for irrigation!!!

In a rural part of Maharashtra, the girls school was far away from the village, and due to this drop out rates grew higher! There is this female who was awarded for her simple solution, i.e she started giving cycles for hire to the girls of that village, and it actally dropped the rates of girl drop-outs!! This truely shows, you do not need to be a scientist to help...... If you have the determination to help, you will automatically find the solution!

Lastly, "mission 30".... This is started in Patna, for the children of "rickshaw walas", or really poor and financially unstable students. 30 students are hand picked by the 2 founders and full training is givin to these 30, to get ready for IIT s....They are given food, training and stay free of cost and trained to take up AIEEE!!! And even better their enrolment ratio is as high as 95%!!! Its such a noble cause, for these guys never even must have dreamt to get into such insititutes!!!

There were many more such stories! All I would like to say is, they are also humans like us, and with same kind of heart as us! Its only their determination to do something, that makes them such "HEROS"!!! I was thinking, even if I help a friend and it gets actually fruitful, I feel so satisfied, think of these people, they have a purpose in life! They can actually stand and say, I am doing something for my country, for mankind!!!

I really hope we all find our purposes in life and help atleast 2 human beings, in a more solid and constructive way!!
