Cultural glory

Cultural glory among school-college students

Off late, the world of mobile phones, TV, and computer use has been on the rise. This has led to the decrease of reading books among students and younger generation. Students are forgetting the art, literature, culture of the country. As such, Praja Trust has been organizing various cultural competitions at district level colleges such as vocal, folk and devotional, poetry, storytelling, profanity competition. Competition winners are also given a cash reward with a Certificate.

Self confidence to Farmers !!

Farmers are the backbone of any nation. However, off late the lives of farmers has become miserable. The poor farmers suffer on the one hand due to famine and on the other hand crops get washed away due to heavy rains causing mental agony to farmers as they have to re-cultivate the crops without the right price. Hence, farmers who are completely dependent on their land for their livelihood commit suicide, unable to cope up with the mental distress. Praja Trust, organised programmes at Degree colleges and also has been organising various programs to prevent the suicide of farmers known as “Prevention of Farmers Suicide with the support of Youth”. The program teaches the younger generation how to behave well with their parents and work to reassure them. (Several programs have been done in the last 5 years).
