Brahma
Valley Institute of Management has adopted an entire village about seven
kilometers from the institute. The name of this village located in picturesque
surroundings in the midst of green valleys is "Pahine" It is fully
occupied by tribal population.
On the 2021-22 , a field visit was organized and conducted to this village by
60 students of Brahma Valley as well as all the teaching staff members. The
members included the Director of BVIOM, Dr Prashant B Survanshi, and the
Principal of the Brahma Valley College of Engineering and Research, Dr. A
Vaidya. The Sarpanch of Pahine Village, Mrs Jijabai G Pehere, Mrs. Hausatai
Ambapure a member of the zilla parishad and Gram Sevak, Mr. Balalshaeb Aher ,
were there to welcome BVIOM staff and students.
Dr Prashant B Survanshi expressed his views about the reasons behind adopting
the village. According to him , there are various facilities provided by the
Government of Maharashtra and the Government of India to villages, which do not
reach upto them just because of the lack of knowledge. Besides, there is the
need to enlighten the villagers about the proper way of life, sanitation, etc.
in which all students and staff of BVIOM would participate actively. Free medical
camps will be set up and free medical check ups and medical services would be
provided. Efforts would also be made to resolve all the other problems of the
villagers.
After meeting up with the children of "Pahine Village", the students
of BVIOM were divided into groups and sent to each and every house to conduct a
socio-economic survey of the people in every family and their problems. After
the survey, the students became aware of the lifestyle of the villagers, their
culture and their difficulties.
BVIOM has planned to conduct weekly field visits at the adopted village Pahine
(Brahma Village) to solve their socio-economic problems through free medical
camps, distribution of various commodities, and eatables. This project launched
by BVIOM is really commendable; as the institute is determined to develop the
village.
