Although I believe that ultimately we as individuals are responsible for our destiny, still every person, whatever they accomplish in life, is because of what previous generations did for the forthcoming generation. If we went to school, someone before us built that school. The same is true for higher education and jobs.

Now, some generations in some countries have done better than others. India's record in this respect, for understandable reasons, is not very admirable - especially for rural masses (80% of India's population). So, it is almost a must for my generation to initiate a process, which will lead, over decades, an improved quality of life for India's rural masses. The Pardada Pardadi Girls Vocational School (PPGVS) is the initial step in that quest.

An effort like this cannot be a single person's task - a very large group of people, spread over all the continents and having similar philosophies in life is needed. My very humble request to all the people who visit this site is to please join this effort. If, for whatever reason, you cannot join hands with PPES, please do contribute in your respective communities for the betterment of the forthcoming generations.

With loving regards,

SAM
