Before Shirdi, Shivarimal and After Saputara, Shivarimal - Story of a School for Blind Children

We visit Saputara (the only hill station in Gujarat) round the year for pleasure trips. Similarly, the devotees of Sai Baba visit Shirdi frequently. For a change and possibly a better experience, I’d like to suggest you visit Shivarimal (a Free Residential School for Visually Impaired (Blind) and Physically Challenged Children), about 20 km from Saputara and 93 km away from Bilimora on Bilimora-Saputara road. Let me tell you my reasons for details.

My close friend Piyushbhai Dharaiya formed a charitable trust in the name of his wife Late Jyotsanaben and decided to donate the interest away, every year. I suggested him to visit Shivarimal School for Blind Children and experience the emotions of blind students. We finally visited this place on Sunday, February 16th, 2014 and the result is this introductory article.


Background:

Shivarimal is a village of Ahwa (Dangs) district situated on Bilimora-Saputara-Nasik road. This free school for blind and physically challenged students provides stay in a hostel, study up to XII standard with vocational training of different trades. Maheshbhai Kothari – an unmarried social worker – had started a school for "Deaf and Dumb" at Vijalpore, near Navsari in 1970. The famous Gujarati thinker and preacher - Morari Bapu asked Maheshbhai to do something similar for the poor Adivasis of Dang. The suggestion worked with a result of this School for Blind Children at Shivarimal of Ahwa-Dang, established in 2006. In this campus, girls stay/study in four domes prepared of fibre material and boys stay and study in a separate building with rooms. At present, there are 129 students (Boys and Girls are nearly same in numbers). They are looked after by 20 staff members.


Four types of disabled children stay here:
  1. Blind
  2. Mentally retarded
  3. Deaf and dumb
  4. Multiple organs physically depilated ones

With this background let me get into the details of what I experienced and learned at Shivarimal.

How does a blind student learn?

1. Lectures
:

Blind cannot see but can hear and speak. So, the teachers teach them by talking and giving lectures in classrooms.

2. Braille Books:

It is a language of dots written as projections on the thick paper, so the blind can feel by a touch of fingers and learn. In addition to books, newspapers, story-books, calendars and so many such materials are prepared in this fashion.

3. Tape-recorders:

Tiny memory cards containing information on different subjects like History, Geography, Gujarati language etc. are installed in a small instrument with speakers and a student can do revisions of the subject by hearing the small tape-recorder-like instrument.


Let me jump straight to narrating my experiences interacting a few at Shivarimal.

1. Shri Arvind Shah (Shriji) – Trustee:

To understand dedication and love for Adivasi Blind Children an individual can give, you have to meet Trustee Arvindbhai (a successful diamond businessman who left the profession as his other Jain fellows do while taking Diksha). He is serving there as day and night full-time guardian. We may find selfless, honest and transparent people, but not easily the same person doing round the clock service. I have no words to praise him.

2. Shri Sureshbhai Bhoye – Principal:


He is a young person around 30, serving the school for more than a decade. He is a man of the same Ahwa region, serving his own people as the Principal. We have seen him serving the students with love, affection and empathy. An unsung hero worth praising, appreciating and awarding.

3. Jyoti Kukana – Student:


A 10-year-old child from the Dang district, Jyoti, is a student for last four years. She is happy staying here. Her father, from a nearby village, had come to meet her. We saw them exchanging emotions without words! She told her daily time-table; she gets up at 5 am and goes to bed at 10 pm. She told us the names of her close friends there and how she plays different games there.

4. Utakarsh Rakesh Patel – Student:


Here is a most senior inmate of the School for the blind, of around 22 years of age. He had a head injury 12 years back due to fall from a 55 feet high water-tank. His all other problems of head-injury could be treated – except the blindness. He comes from a well to do family; so washing his own clothes, cleaning his place in the hostel room and doing all his work himself are his problems, which are non-issues for all the other students from poor family status. Here, other inmates help him to solve this. His parents and aunts from Ancheli (near Bardoli, Gujarat) were visiting him that day. He is yet to start learning Braille language – a must for all blind. He had a special watch that tells time on touch.

5. Cricket:


When we reached there, they were playing cricket. They use a ball that has small balls making a sound on movement.

6. Pairs:

Principal and others had made an arrangement where a partially-blind one always accompanies a totally-blind to make a pair that can walk comfortably.

During our visit for nearly half a day, we had a meeting with them, had detailed talks and lunch together. We saw them being happy, joyous and enjoying the present life to its fullest. They had no complaints whatsoever… a great thing! And they had all hopes and ambitions of their future life. What else do we want?

And there is another blind-school too!

The Tata Agricultural And Rural Training School For The Blind at Tatawadi, Fanasa
(Via: Bhilad, Dist Valsad in Gujarat).

Males of 16 to 35 years of age of any state of India are admitted here for two years and given free training, stay, food, clothes and medical treatment. According to their intellectual level, they are trained in Agriculture, Nursery, Poultry, Animal husbandry, Gardening and Dairy technology. Later, they are guided in their rehabilitation in such a way that they can earn for themselves. They are also assisted financially.
If you are with me even now... I am the happiest man. Now, close your eyes for five minutes and move doing all your routine work. Experience the blindness for a while and desire to help them will be evoked spontaneously! I need not tell you about donations or other help.

    1. I am happy you read and responded.
      I will be happier if you visit them and feel/share the emotions.
      Blindness ...mental retardation...paraplegia....so many medical issues needing great work in the field of prevention and help.

  2. Thank you for sharing this story. The description of selflessness of people running this 'temple' is a breath of fresh air. It also does a little correction to the compass of my brain which normally points to "me and my materialistic needs". Thanks again for such a simple and neutral way of writing.

    1. Raghu,

      The earning, marriage, so called success etc are so much in demand... So many other worldly issues are not even known to us.

      I am happy you read and responded. I will be happier if you just plan a visit to such places for a change.

      I am sure it will go a long way in many ways.

Pyramid Of Virgin Dreams

This is a novel depicting the story of an IAS officer’s life. Author Vipul Mitra is himself an IAS officer serving in Gujarat and living with his family in Ahmedabad. This book could take birth after ten years of thinking, writing and rewriting!  The title pyramid was derived from an Egyptian pyramid with a gigantic structure, a symbol of power stretching higher and higher into the sky. The author compares the pyramid with bureaucrats. He says the only difference was that one housed deceased Egyptian pharaohs while other housed living, conniving, tattling officers. There is a long (300 pages!) story of dreams those are virgin like unconsummated physical relation! You will read this novel to know what happens to Kartikeya Kukereja who meets his first failed love Revati Kapoor after both married and long gap of time passes. Revati desires to re-unite but does Kartikeya have the courage to hold on Revati? Honest? Mediocre? Coward? Does he ultimately succeed in fitting her in his life?  Th

Anavils - An Endangered Community

After Parsis, Anavils ( Anavil Brahmins , āŠ…āŠĻાāŠĩિāŠē āŠŽ્āŠ°ાāŠđ્āŠŪāŠĢ ) are the fastest decreasing community. The total population of Anavils around the world does not exceed two lakhs figure and that is also fast reducing day by day. Days are not far, beyond a century or so, when they will have to be seen/found in records, photos and videos. Why? Because,    - they get married too late,    - many are dying unmarried,    - they wait for the career to be settled before the first (and maybe the only) childbirth.

History Of Muslims In India: Hindu-Muslim Relations

With this article, I would like to tell you about three things: (1) History of Islam and Muslims in India; then I will try to elaborate, specifically telling (2) What went wrong; and finally I will conclude telling (3) The future of relations amongst Muslims and Hindus. Although it is routine to give references, in the end, I shall start with the list of three reference books in the beginning. All these details are not mine, I’ve only summarized them from these books.

Janki Van – A Nature Retreat

If you want to be alone to be with nature, it is an ideal spot. But if you enjoy crowds with your group this is an equally important place to visit. 42 km from Bilimora on Vansda Road, we reached Janki Van in less than an hour. Dr Nayana Patel, Dr Bhavana Desai (my wife) and I visited the place impromptu on a weekday. The name Janki  is related to Sita Mata of Ramayana and it is believed that at a certain point in the history, Sita Mata did stay here. The garden, a great picnic spot (16 hectors big), is situated 5 km away from Vansda, 6 km from Unai and 42 km from Bilimora. It is developed by the Gujarat Forestry Department under social forestry action and was inaugurated on 02-Aug-2015 while celebrating the Forest Day. Please, keep in mind it remains closed on Monday and visiting hours are 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Karmic Theory (Law Of Karma)

“Facing Challenges and Creating Destiny” by BK Shivani, Gurgaon National Conference on Mind-Body-Medicine, Mount Abu. August 6-10, 2010 What is Karma? Karma is work or energy going out in the form of 1. Thought, 2. Word and/or 3. Action. Resultant return of energy is in the same amount known as Bhagya (Destiny). The role of God is to ask you to do Karma and to help you to do RIGHT karma. Then whatever good/bad karma you do, the result is accordingly and entirely your responsibility. Because the result is Destiny (Bhagya). So don’t blame anyone else or God for anything bad. Do not try to blame someone responsible for your own deed and its result.

Family Reunion 2021

My daughter-in-law Shivani has seen many family get-togethers during the last decade at her paternal home town - Dungri. So she wanted a similar gathering with the family in Bilimora. We four i.e. Bhavana, Vaishali , Rahul , and I were reluctant to hold one without any cause. Ultimately, we thought of trying this at least once, and so we decided to hold our Sharada Mohan family 's first " Family Reunion " on 24-25 January 2021, Sunday-Monday. A family is a unit of people formed naturally by brothers and sisters of the same parents. A family can be extended by adding uncles and aunts (Kaka, Fui, Mama, Masi) with their offspring. Thus, a family comprises the people who love and support the members in good and bad times. We tried to meet for two days and one night thinking it would be enough time - neither too short nor dragged. Yes,  we were happy and enjoyed ourselves all the while.

Gujarat – Introduction And History

A student of History has to understand Geography, Economics and Anthropology simultaneously. A person curious to know about world history has to proceed step by step, learning his own state first, then country and then only one can understand world history. Well, appreciating above facts, I am starting my study with History Of My State Of Gujarat . I have put it in order of time and later described important states and rulers.
