It is pleasure to inform all of you that our honorable Vice Chancellor, Dr. Anamik Shah has finally asked us for our opinion and ideas as to the probable solution on part of us, for the present crises of Covid-19, in his letter, 04/2020/21, dated 20/05/2020. I hope you all have received and read it well.
Our respected VC has asked about our ideas, opinions to mitigate the impact of Corona virus in our local area. He also has assured us of all the necessary help if we initiated such activity. But as we all know, it has all the time been Ahmedabad, the worst hit place from this pandemic in whole Gujarat state.
I personally believe that if any kind of service for humanity should be conducted, it must be in Ahmedabad.
There are still plenty of out state laborers and Gujarati daily wage earners, who perhaps are finding it hard to survive due to continuous lockdown. Most of them are still on the road or in some unhygienic places as they have not enough money to stay in hygienic place.
What I propose is that our campus of Gujarat Vidyapith should be allowed for these people for temporary stay. Our campus is one of the best in terms of infrastructure and spaciousness.
Although, most of the rooms and buildings are already preoccupied with the students’ personal belongings, still our gymnasium courtyard, Mayur Garden, sports ground, both guest houses, and even the newly built big house of Chancellor can be allowed for those homeless and jobless mass.
This will benefit, both physically and psychologically, to this scattered class of homeless men and women. They can easily be served the basic necessities of life in our campus and distance can also be maintained among them. We can establish a screening center at the gate which will help identify those with symptoms of Covid-19. We can take sufficient help and guidance of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation in this humble task.
In addition, a good number of our students are already willing to be volunteers in such services for humanity. This will give them a much necessary opportunity to truly understand the purpose of our Gandhian education by practically serving the community which has been often idealized in our books.
I know this task is difficult and dangerous for the campus staff and the volunteers. For any small mistake could lead to the spread of Corona among those who would be engaged in the service. But at such critical time, we must keep faith in ourselves. We have been training for so many years to live with discipline. Our vast experience of independent life and skill to survive on fewer means would be our guiding stars. At last, this is the holy land of Mahatma Gandhi, who himself was the greatest champion for the cause of the last men/women of society.
I, therefore, request all of you to mention this proposal to our honorable Vice Chancellor, when you respond to his email.
