महाराष्ट्र के गांव में दो घंटे नो मोबाइल-नो टीवी: सायरन बजते ही बच्चे घर के अंदर हो जाते हैं

Nitin Phaltankar. It was 6 in the evening. When we had just reached the village, a siren started blaring. Children playing on the roads were seen running towards the houses. On the other hand, their parents also came out of their houses to find them on the roads and take them home.

We were thinking about this. Because such conditions were seen in Britain during the Second World War. Then there used to be a stir among the people as soon as the German plane was seen. Such a scene was seen in Jakekurwadi in Osmanabad district of Maharashtra. When inquired, it was found that this is done because it was a challenge to keep children away from mobile and TV after Corona.

To remind the children of the time, the siren rings at 6 o’clock, after which they come home and start studying wherever they are.

fixed for children’s future
The population of Jakkurwadi with 330 houses is around 2200. About 500 of them are children. For the future of these children, it was decided that no mobile, no TV campaign would be run for two hours.

Some children study in groups while some children study alone at their homes.

Follows daily from 6 pm to 8 pm
Amar Suryavanshi, a 35-year-old youth, was elected Sarpanch in the Panchayat elections held two years ago. Suryavanshi, who has done MA, BEd, along with the villagers, took care of the children’s education and attention. For this, it was decided that mobile and TV would be kept off in the village daily from 6 pm to 8 pm.

Even the smallest child has a dream of becoming an IAS, IPS officer after being educated.

5 thousand for selling Gutka, 500 fine on the person who eats it
Earlier children were seen eating Gutka in the village. Now it has been banned. It has been decided to impose a fine of Rs 5,000 for selling Gutka in the village and Rs 500 for those who consume it. People have now stopped gutka and smoking. Dattatraya Suryavanshi of the village told that children now talk about becoming IAS and IPS and study diligently.
