00:00There is a saying that the right decision taken by you will take you to the heights of success.
00:06Today is youth day.
00:07In this way, today we are going to introduce you to such a youth member of Kanpur
00:12who not only established himself, but today he is giving free of cost education to 300 children.
00:18Whatever is his complete education, that is, from education to his dressing sense, etc.,
00:24he is providing everything himself.
00:26And through him, an organization is being run in the name of Gurukulam,
00:30in which all those children are being given free of cost education.
00:32Today, we can say that the organization of Gurukulam, which runs this whole organization, is present.
00:39Uddesh Sachan is present, who not only succeeded himself,
00:42but today he is taking 300 children to the heights of success.
00:46We directly introduce you to Uddesh and know that in the end,
00:49when he achieved this success or reached the success,
00:52then what difficulties came, how did his success begin?
00:55Uddesh, first of all, you are welcome on ETV.
00:58Tell our viewers about how his journey started and what challenges he faced.
01:03Yes, of course. I belong to a lower class family.
01:06My father is a tailor and my mother is a housewife.
01:09So when I had to eat and drink, what used to happen was that in school, fees were essential.
01:14And my mother was sick at that time, so I was expelled from school.
01:17So an incident occurred in my mind that if the fees are not paid, then you are expelling me from school.
01:22So that phase came, and after that, as I grew up, I saw that the syllabus I taught in school is not working anywhere in my life.
01:30And then I did some small work somewhere, so I realized that there are no skills.
01:35I realized that it is not just us, there are many such children who are wandering here and there because of the fees and lack of skills.
01:43So I came to my mind that school is such a thing that brings change in the lives of children.
01:48Then I wanted to open a school where children are taught philosophy, psychology, and skills.
01:54So it was a little difficult in the beginning, but the idea came to my mind, so I started from the bottom of a tree.
01:58I struggled a little, and today I have my own school where I have 300 children.
02:03So what do you think, when the journey started, there must have been a lot of financial issues.
02:09So how did you maintain those financial issues, because when you said that the journey started from the bottom of a tree,
02:15and today you have reached a school where you are teaching 300 children.
02:18So how is their education being provided to them, and what kind of support do we get from any NGO or any organization?
02:25Financially, money is required for every work.
02:28So it was a big struggle in the beginning.
02:30At home, my mother had given me 250 rupees.
02:32So I got a banner and kept promoting, so people kept joining, children kept joining.
02:37Then my work became viral on social media, there are a lot of good people in the world.
02:40The world is moving in parallel, there are good people and very few good people.
02:44So the good people gave us some donations, which has helped us to run our school very easily.
02:49People send us some money, some copies of books, some clothes, whatever they like, so that the school can run easily.
02:57You named it as Gurukulam, so what is the meaning of Gurukulam?
03:00Gurukulam is a school system that is based on Maikala's rules, and everything is in English.
03:05So we wanted to teach the children the values of Gurukul.
03:10But if we apply for Gurukul now, it will become a little old.
03:13It should be in both English and Gurukul.
03:15So we named it as Gurukulam.
03:17It is also a school system, so it is good.
03:18So that we can live in a modern way, and we don't lose our culture.
03:22So if we talk about this board, which class are we teaching from?
03:26Now we have children from PGC to RATE.
03:29And we will continue to teach those children.
03:31And for the boards and schools that support us, so that we can teach our children.
03:35So this means that the school system is registered?
03:38Yes, it is registered.
03:40So the children who are coming in this, do you only give them education, or do you have any other teachers?
03:45I have hired 5 teachers.
03:47Because it is very difficult to teach 300 children.
03:49Then it will become a formality.
03:50So 5 teachers who are given a proper salary, I teach them.
03:53So you give them salary from your own money?
03:55Yes, I have it. Some people don't give donations.
03:57I manage it and give it to everyone.
03:58So if we talk about it till now, so the children who are being taught,
04:01so tell us about some of the skills that the children are learning.
04:04So the children, normally,
04:07till now they were just roaming around and playing properly.
04:11But now the children are learning music,
04:13learning dance,
04:14and playing the flute.
04:15Like some children know how to play the harmonium.
04:17They have come a lot in cricket and sports.
04:19And after this,
04:20they are also learning some soft skills like computer.
04:22So they have not left anything behind.
04:24They have come in every field.
04:25So do we organize a competition in which the children participate or show their talent?
04:30Right now, at the school level,
04:32we organize competitions for children from other schools.
04:35So the children get an environment.
04:37They see the kids from big schools and compete with them.
04:40So their morale increases automatically.
04:42But in the future,
04:44there will be a lot of competition.
04:46And the children will get a level.
04:48When you started the journey, how many kids came?
04:50How did you collect them?
04:52When you started, you thought that if you teach for free,
04:54a lot of kids will come.
04:55But only 5 kids came.
04:57But those 5 kids stayed for 6 months.
04:59Then when Covid came,
05:01things were bad for people.
05:03But when poverty came,
05:05people started a good business with me.
05:07So from 5 to 10, 10 to 20, 20 to 70 kids came.
05:09So I used to manage alone.
05:11And it was easy.
05:13If we talk about parents,
05:15there must have been a lot of issues.
05:17Because in the mind of parents,
05:19no matter how much they are satisfied,
05:21but in the mind,
05:23there are money issues.
05:25So how did you connect parents?
05:28Some guardians didn't want to teach for free.
05:30They used to say that if you teach today,
05:32you will get money tomorrow.
05:34But some guardians showed belief.
05:36They sent their 5 to 10 kids.
05:38We worked on those 5 to 10 kids.
05:40When they saw that the kid who was selling garbage
05:42was speaking in English,
05:44their morale increased.
05:46Then they started sending kids together.
05:48Then once you give something for free,
05:50it has an impact on the outcome.
05:52Kids started coming.
05:54Today parents are supportive.
05:57Let's talk about the kids coming to you.
05:59What kind of kids are they?
06:01Where do they come from?
06:03There are at least 50 kids
06:05who come from Duggi Basti.
06:07The kids from nearby villages.
06:09So you have a van for them?
06:11Yes, I have a van for them.
06:13They come and go easily.
06:15What message would you like to give to the youth?
06:17Today is Youth Day.
06:19You are doing a good job.
06:21You are giving a good message to the society.
06:23What message would you like to give to them?
06:25Live your life happily.
06:27Don't worry too much.
06:29Develop your skills.
06:31Work on your skills.
06:33Life is short.
06:35You don't have to think too much.
06:37Live your life as it is.
06:39If we talk about
06:41the youth of today,
06:43they are totally connected
06:45to social media.
06:47If you want to save yourself
06:49and join social activities
06:51or if a youth wants to join you,
06:54how can he work with you?
06:56First of all, you don't have to save yourself from social media.
06:58You have to use the impact of social media.
07:00There are two aspects to it.
07:02One puts a negative in your mind.
07:04The other has a positive impact on you.
07:06You have to work according to the positive.
07:08If you want to join us,
07:10come and meet the kids.
07:12If you want to work in the field,
07:14you can teach the kids.
07:16I will support you wherever you can teach the kids.
07:18How much peace do you get by doing this?
07:20This has become my soul.
07:22I have no problem.
07:24I have a good life.
07:26What is your plan for the future?
07:28I have made a vision.
07:30I have 300 students in this school.
07:32I will teach them.
07:34You will teach them till 12th grade.
07:36Yes.
07:38I will teach them everything.
07:40We had Uddesh Sachand with us.
07:42He clearly said
07:44that his journey was very difficult.
07:46Financial issues were the biggest
07:48issues in his success.
07:51He told the youth
07:53that no work is small or big.
07:55Work hard.
07:57If you don't do it today,
07:59you will be successful in two days.
