At Deoria Station, Uttar Pradesh

As soon as we landed at Deoria district, we were given a grand welcome by the local dwellers. Our energies instantaneously pumped up and we were all set to spend the night at Shashank’s ancestral home.

Deoria being the centre for Jagriti Seva Sansthan was our main study area for the Biz Gyan Tree exercise. The domain assigned to our group was developing an essential business model for primary education. Here we had to study the villages and study centres already existent and come up with new solutions to either help the government or help initiate private start-ups.

The villages of Deoria are picturesque and have beautiful landscapes. The pure air, the simplistic living and the warm villagers were true motivators in the trip. There were so many areas in the stage of development and so many more domains that needed improvement. Walking through the fields of Deoria made me feel for my country’s rich resources and potential growth this Nation possesses to compete with other regions on a global scale.

Here are some more visuals from my Deoria visit:
