If you have connections to Andhra Pradesh, please read on
A silent and almost invisible disturbing transformation is taking place in our villages, which surprisingly many of us are not aware of. The result of our indifference could create irreversible changes to our rich cultural heritage, religious freedom, unity, social and family values. If we do not take responsibility, our future generations may go through many difficulties.
Our society, back in India is in serious decline. Our social and cultural values are becoming degraded. Our villages are eroding and our farmers are suffering. Our temples are in decline due to lack of patronage and improper maintenance. Unless we act in time, there may be such changes in the demography of the country that it may be very difficult to reverse the process.
Did you know that:
- Over 14,000 farmers in different states of India have committed suicide between 2001 and 2006
- 35,000 Temples were closed in 5 years for economic reasons
- Village youth would rather be a coolie or office boy than be called a farmer
- Native breeds of grains were burnt and replaced by Genetically Modified seeds
- It is ironic that Indians abroad are more engaged in preserving the culture and heritage than villages in India
BACK TO THE ROOTS PROJECT is a rural development initiative, focused on maintaining the demographics, strengthening the socio-economic and cultural heritage of Andhra Pradesh, restoring family values and promoting education in health and hygiene
