A
strategy to inculcate the value
“WATER CONSERVATION”
Values
are the principles that allow us to guide ones behavior to fulfill oneself as
individuals. They are the fundamental beliefs and help us to prefer accept and
choose one thing over the other one. Value education is the inculcation of a
sense of humanism, a deep concern for the wellbeing of others and the nation.
Water
conservation is such type of value, which should be inculcated in the children
at the earlier stage. It means using water wisely and caring for it properly
for the coming generation and for ourselves.
To
inculcate the value of water conservation among students of GHHS, Kalanjoor, I
felt showing video clippings is the best alternative. Selected 2 best videos
and downloaded it from the youtube site. One is an animated one and other one
is a video containing some photos and captions and with a soothing background
music. The site ids are
Details
of the videos shown
1st
video
Some
sound is hearing from darkness which could not be identified clearly. Later
slowly one boy enters into the kitchen for having something. There one tap is
in turned on state and water is flowing down. That was the sound which is
hearing. At the same time a scene from a far away village place, a lengthy
queue of water pots, at the front of the queue one old man is sitting near a
tap, which is not producing water. Again the scene in the kitchen, the small
boy turns of the tap and on the other side, at the same time tap starts
producing water. Everybody at the village starts dancing with joy as they get
water.
2nd
video
It
is with soothing background music of the song har khadi badhal…, titanic song
and vandhe matharam instrumental play. It includes photos with inspiring captions.
The
video starts with a statement
“70% of earth is water”
“They say” (it
shows photos from North India with a lot of water containers which they use to
bring water from faraway places.)
Are they getting even 1% of it?”
“we are lucky to have a glass”
“Glass ?? Weird…!! Isn’t it? Then
what about them?”
“This is where we store the
water” (shows refrigerator)
“And they?” (Shows bore well, old broken containers)
“This is what we do” (shows wasting water)
“And they” (even small children with small pots filled)
“We try to waste water and they struggle for
collect a single drop”
“Why such differences? Aren’t we educated?)
“Don’t know about their problems?
Then why?)
“Somehow they are used to it… Are
we?? Can we??”
“Let’s do one thing.. MUST DO!!!)
“SAVE WATER” There are number of
ways for it”
“They start all with u.. That’s
it… will you do?”
“EACH ONE, REACH ONE 2 TEACH ONE”
The
video ends with this slogan
“EACH ONE REACH ONE 2
TEACH ONE ABOUT THE NEED OF WATER CONSERVATION”
The videos created a very good
impact on students. Many students took a decision at the moment that they will
don’t waste water anymore. I too felt very proud as I took this particular
topic for the purpose and I could present it well. If I could make one child
changed… I am satisfied!!!!!
