15 August 2012   गरिबाघरच्या गुणवंतांना विद्यादानाचे सहाय्य..!

स्वातंत्र्यदिनी चौथा वर्धापन दिन


खास प्रतिनिधी

प्रतिकूल परिस्थितीतही जिद्द आणि मेहनतीच्या बळावर शालांत परीक्षेत ऐशी-नव्वद टक्के गुण मिळविणाऱ्या विद्यार्थ्यांच्या पुढील उच्च शिक्षणाचा मार्ग निर्धोक व्हावा, यासाठी प्रयत्न करणाऱ्या ठाण्यातील विद्यादान सहाय्यक मंडळ या संस्थेचा चौथा वर्धापन दिन बुधवार, १५ ऑगस्ट रोजी शहापूर येथे साजरा होत आहे. ‘लोकसत्ता’मधील एका बातमीवरून प्रेरणा घेऊन स्थापन झालेल्या या संस्थेचा कार्यविस्तार दिवसेंदिवस वाढत असून सध्या संस्थेकडे १३१ दाते आहेत आणि ८० हून अधिक विद्यार्थ्यांनी यंदा शिक्षणासाठी मदत मागितली आहे.

येथील भाऊ नानिवडेकर, सत्यजीत आणि गीता शहा यांनी चार वर्षांपूर्वी सात देणगीदारांसह विद्यादान सहाय्यक मंडळाची मुहुर्तमेढ रोवली. पहिल्याच वर्षी आठ विद्यार्थ्यांना मंडळाने ५० हजार रुपयांची मदत दिली. आता वर्षांगणिक संस्थेकडे मदत मागणाऱ्या विद्यार्थ्यांची आणि दात्यांची संख्या वाढत आहे.

सध्या शालांत परीक्षेपर्यंत विद्यार्थ्यांना फारसा खर्च येत नाही. गरीब विद्यार्थीही प्रतिकूल परिस्थितीतही त्यावर मात करून चांगले गुण मिळवितात. मात्र उच्च शिक्षण घेताना पैसा अनिवार्य ठरतो. त्यामुळे गुणवत्ता असूनही गरीब विद्यार्थी त्यापासून वंचित राहतात. केवळ पैशाअभावी गुणवत्ता मागे पडू नये म्हणून विद्यादान सहाय्यक मंडळ प्रयत्न करते. सामाजिक बांधीलकीच्या भावनेतून आर्थिकदृष्टय़ा दुर्बल घटकातील हुशार मुलांना यथाशक्ती मदत करावी, अशी अनेक नागरिकांची इच्छा असते. विद्यादान सहाय्यक मंडळाने अशा दात्यांना एक व्यासपीठ उपलब्ध करून दिले.

या मंडळाच्या वतीने विद्यार्थ्यांना वार्षिक २०० ते ५० हजार इतकी मदत देणारे अनेक दाते आहेत. दहावी उत्तीर्ण झालेल्या विद्यार्थ्यांची आवड आणि कल पाहून त्यांना पुढील शैक्षणिक वर्षांसाठी मदत मिळवून दिली जाते. संस्थेच्या सभासदांवर ठराविक विद्यार्थ्यांची जबाबदारी सोपवून त्यांच्या अभ्यासाच्या प्रगतीचा आढावा घेतला जातो. दरवर्षी १५ ऑगस्ट रोजी वर्धापन दिनानिमित्त विद्यार्थ्यांचे कौतुक केले जाते. केवळ शैक्षणिक मदतच नव्हे तर त्यांच्या व्यक्तिमत्त्व विकासासाठीही संस्था विविध उपक्रम राबविते. संस्थेविषयी अधिक माहितीसाठी संपर्क- सत्यजीत शहा-९८२११५०८५८.

65 college going students from Thane,Shahpur area participated in it.

The following points were discussed at the workshop with ample examples.

2. Continuous efforts are more important than last minute efforts .

3. Perfect blend of available time and task to be done is effective time management.

4. Quality of time spent is more important than quantity of time.

5. Before cutting the tree we have to sharpen the saw. That means we must do planning and preparation before any work.

He gave many examples of people who have overcome their difficulties with the help of positive thinking. The best example is Mr. Stephen Hawking. Due to his incurable disease he is unable to move his body.But he has done a lot of important work and have even received Nobel Prize in Physics .

The workshop was quite useful for the students in making them realize the importance of time and time management and the power of positive thinking.

या विद्यार्थ्यांपैकी गणेश शिर्के, राहुल भालके व चेतना लाटे यांनी आपले मनोगत व्यक्त केले, तसेच संस्थेचा आश्रय मिळालेल्या मुलांच्या पालकांनीही आपली कृतज्ञता भिजल्या स्वरात कथन केली. यावेळी धारावीत राहून पीएचडी झालेल्या डॉ. शीतल शंकर डाफळे यांची संस्थेच्या कार्यकर्त्यां गीता शहा यांनी मुलाखत घेतली. डॉ. शीतल यांच्या प्रांजळ आत्मकथनाने सर्वाचीच मने हेलावली. या गप्पांमध्ये डॉ. शीतल यांचे आईवडील व लहान भाऊ हे कुटुंबीयही सहभागी झाले होते. कार्यक्रमाला विद्यार्थी व पालकांसमवेत ठाणे परिसरातील मंडळाचे अनेक हितचिंतक व देणगीदार आवर्जून उपस्थित होते. तीन तास चाललेल्या हा हृद्य सोहळा सभागृहातील प्रत्येकाला अंतर्मुख करून गेला. याप्रसंगी गुणवान विद्यार्थ्यांचा उपस्थित मान्यवरांच्या हस्ते सत्कार करण्यात आला.
