Dayalbagh: An Eco-Village

A Wikipedia article defines Eco-Villages as "... traditional or intentional community with the goal of becoming more socially, culturally, economically, and ecologically sustainable. It is consciously designed through locally owned, participatory processes to regenerate and restore its social and natural environments".

The article further states, "Eco-villagers are united by shared ecological, social-economic and cultural-spiritual values. Concretely, eco-villagers seek alternatives to ecologically destructive electrical, water, transportation, and waste-treatment systems, as well as the larger social systems that mirror and support them. Many see the breakdown of traditional forms of community, wasteful consumerist lifestyles, the destruction of natural habitat, urban sprawl, factory farming, and over-reliance on fossil fuels as trends that must be changed to avert ecological disaster and create richer and more fulfilling ways of life".


And what better example of an eco-village than Dayalbagh. Dayalbagh is more like a small town, with 2,500+ permanent residents, the population increasing manifold during Basant, Holi and Bhandara weeks with the influx of pilgrims. Additionally, its way of life thinking and practices influence the communities around Dayalbagh.

Our post below is on practices followed in Dayalbagh, the eco-village.

Dayalbagh, an eco-village

Eco-villages are urban or rural communities of people who strive to integrate a supportive social environment with a low-impact way of life. To achieve this, they integrate various aspects of ecological design, permaculture, ecological building, green production, alternative energy, community building practices, and much more. Eco-villages are living models of sustainability. They represent an effective, accessible way to combat the degradation of our social, ecological, and spiritual environments.

Dayalbagh is an eco-village/city, quiet and peaceful with a largely self-sustaining agricultural production, water harvesting and increasing use of renewable solar energy.

Prem Nagar, a Mohalla in Dayalbagh

Education, agriculture and industries prosper in harmonious and ecologically sustainable manner. Dayalbagh is greener and more sustainable since its foundation in 1915, even though its population has increased. Dayalbagh’s eco-development, presents an admirable combination of material and spiritual development. It represents a classic case of self-sustained eco-friendly existence of human settlement in close harmony with the nature.

Activities

Self-Governance

Civic affairs are managed through a committee of elected representatives under the overall supervision and control of a primary committee. The eco-village is divided into mohallas, with each having a Sarpanch and Panches for different activities of the mohallas.  Honorary services are imparted by the residents of the village.

Water and Electricity Supply

Water supply to the village is provided through tube wells. To sustain ground water levels, rain water harvesting schemes have been implemented. For electricity needs the village bulk purchases are made from M/S Torrent Power Ltd. To ensure uninterrupted electricity supply, the village also has its own back up generation facility. There is also an increasing use of solar power. Solar powered lights have been installed in open spaces within and outside the village in selected areas and also for street lighting. Solar power units are installed in all institutional buildings. Moreover, to reduce power consumption, LED lights are used to the maximum possible extent.

Community Kitchen
Bhandar Ghar is the Rasoi (Kitchen) which prepares lunch and dinner for the residents of the Dayalbagh colonies and for the visitors.


The raw material like wheat, rice, lentils, mustard oil, vegetables including potatoes and onions are grown and produced in the Dayalbagh fields with selfless service of the Dayalbagh Residents and Visitors. The Bhandar Ghar has minimal number of regular staff and the major part of the operation is supported by teams of volunteers in the age group of 18 to 90 yrs.

Sewage and Garbage Disposal

There is a regular sewage system and garbage disposal. Garbage disposal includes segregation of biodegradable (kitchen waste) and non-biodegradable waste at each house of the village. There are well established treatment facilities for effluents. Treated water is used for irrigation.

Aeration Ponds

Security and Surveillance

Safety and Security of the colony is maintained by day and night patrolling (pehra) in shifts by the residents. Community policing through watch and ward department is performed for safeguarding public property. Most recently, CCTV cameras have been installed at various locations in the village which are also monitored by the residents.

The streets are patrolled by Residents at Night

Educational Hub

Education from the pre-nursery to the Ph.D. level and beyond is imparted through DEI. Additionally, the village has a School of Languages to teach regional and foreign languages, a School of Art and Culture to provide training in music, dance and handicrafts, a Tailoring school for empowerment of women from the weaker sections of the society, an Indian Music Training Center and a School of Dress Designing and Interior Decoration. A Day Boarding School has also been set up to provide special tutorial teaching to the students of under privileged families who do not have adequate facilities at home.

Economical Agriculture and Farming

The topography of the land was initially dominated by ravines, low mounds, patches of rocks and stones and alkaline soil, sand dunes and patches of reeds and weeds, lying as waste-land. Since 1942 under the ‘Grow more food’ campaign, the uneven and unproductive barren lands have gradually been made suitable for cultivation. Today, in the Dayalbagh area, there are nearly 1531 acres of agricultural farms where cereals, pulses, oil seeds, vegetables, fruits, cash crops (potato, sugarcane, etc.) and fodder are cultivated. Farming activities are eco-friendly and based on organic farming techniques that helps in soil conservation and enrichment.

Residents, Students and Pilgrims performing Agriculture work

Both traditional and modern agricultural practices are adopted here. Agriculture is supplemented by Gaushala wastes for meeting out its manure requirement. Cooperative efforts are made in performing different agricultural activities and no chemical substances like insecticides, fungicides, weedicides or chemical fertilizers are used. The agricultural produce of Dayalbagh is sufficient to meet the requirement of the residents and the pilgrims who come for short visits.

Horticulture

Horticultural activities are practiced in Dayalbagh: there are orchards of mango, Jack fruit (Artocarpus spp.), Guava (Psidium) and various citrus species along with many other fruit trees to provide large canopy cover as well as a supply of some fruit.

Healthy Diet: Horticulture - Kinnow Plantation

Cattle Yard and Dairy

Dayalbagh has its own cattle yard with over 800 head of cattle which fulfills the milk requirement of the residents. Its fodder requirements are met internally round the year. Animal waste is recycled and used as manure in fields. The dairy produces pasteurized milk and several milk products employing the most advanced techniques. These products are also sent outside the country.

Retirement Home for Older Cattle

Green Belt

The construction of green-belts has been an important feature of land use planning in Dayalbagh. These are in the form of a tree corridor all along the Yamuna river bank, in agricultural and farming areas, and, areas earmarked for timber plantation.

Ecology and Biodiversity in the Green Belt

The western part of Dayalbagh eco-village has triangular patches of dense plantations reaching the bank of the Yamuna. While most of the uneven land has been leveled and converted into well-formed green fields, in some areas the uneven topography remains. This area is being used for cultivating crops such as taramira, growing trees such as amla and some timber plantation. An orchard of citrus fruits has also been established in this area.

Two species, Prosopis and Acacia are also maintained in the region.

Waste Treatment: Composting

In Dayalbagh, domestic waste is mostly organic, and each member of the population produces approximately 200 kg of organic solid waste per year. Other sources include garden litter and wastes from dairy sheds, etc. The residents segregate the wastes into biodegradable and non-biodegradable material which is collected: pooled biodegradable wastes are directly sent to composting sites while non-biodegradable materials are sent to recycling points.

Transport

The most popular modes of transport in the area are bicycles and cycle rickshaws; efforts are on restrict the number of fossil-fuel driven vehicles in this area to reduce congestion and to accompanying noise and air pollution. Within the Dayalbagh colony, transport is provided by electric vehicles and rickshaws.

Electric Vehicle, ready to ferry Residents and Visitors

Dayalbagh has grown into a center of high spiritual, academic and moral values and has provided solace, satisfaction, peace and enlightenment to its residents and visitors who come in thousands seeking inner and outer peace.

Homo Sapiens to Homo Spiritualis

Recently, we were tasked with putting together Dayalbagh Educational Institute's (DEI) vision and next 15 years plan in a book form. Over the next many posts, we plan to post extracts from this book, with this one from the ‘Vision and Mission’ Chapter. Let us all join our minds and hands together in this journey of finding and elevating our soul, a journey from Homo sapiens to Homo spiritualis.

Happy reading.

“You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’

But I dream things that never were;

and I say, ‘Why not?’”

–George Bernard Shaw

Central Administrative Office Dayalbagh Educational Institute

The Dayalbagh Educational Institute’s Vision is ambitious, clearly defined and backed by over a hundred years of experience of imparting quality education. The Vision reflects DEI’s commitment to impart pragmatism together with self-realization. The DEI Education Policy, articulated in 1975, laid down the following foundational concepts:

• physical, intellectual, emotional and ethical integration of an individual to help evolve the complete man with values of humanism, secularism and democracy, to better equip him to solve social, economic and environmental challenges.
• truthfulness, temperance and courage
• ideals of humility, simple living, selfless service and sacrifice
• habit of learning by developing the faculties of thinking, analysis and reason
• general awareness and knowledge
• best in class-relevant education
• scientific temper
• respect for ‘soiled hands’, dignity of labour, and, self-reliance
• study of the classics, and pride in national culture and heritage
• shaping each student for a calling suited to his aptitude, skills and the needs of society
• understanding of various beliefs and faiths, which fosters an attitude of tolerance and national unity
• engendering the spirit of ‘Brotherhood of Man’, and promoting the establishment of a classless and caste-less society
• fuller understanding of rural life, to appreciate the polity, economy and the social forces at work in our country
• democratic values and freedoms which an Indian citizen should be prepared to defend
• respect for the rights of others and an awareness of duties and obligations to society
• strong character and high ethical standards.

Starting the day with a prayer

This policy was submitted to the University Grants Commission in 1977 for grant of deemed-to-be University status. The UGC team visited the colleges and facilities in the colony of Dayalbagh to assess the potential for achieving excellence with relevance. The Committee’s observations and recommendations endorsed and supported the Policy and its implementation.

Observations and Recommendations of UGC Visiting Team on DEI in 1977

• At DEI, teaching institutions, industrial-technical workshops, agricultural farms are together engaged in teaching, training, production and extension.
• Including school children, a community of students, teachers and workers belonging to all castes, creeds, communities and various parts of the country are involved in a variety of programmes for integrated community development.
• The complex provides a healthy environment for educational innovation and national integration.
• The DEI is engaged in providing a good academic programme in agricultural-rural-industrial complex, oriented to specific conditions and needs and providing suitable social service, work experience, national integration and vocational training programmes aligning with academic curricula.
• The DEI is tethered to the principle of excellence but not at the cost of relevance; which inculcates the dignity of manual labour, encourages initiative and creative work; has an interdisciplinary approach to build an integrated personality of a well-adjusted man.
• The DEI is a departure from the existing pattern of University education.
• The then Agra University expressed its inability to accord autonomy to DEI as the DEI experiment envisaged the fullest integration, collaboration and cooperation of all the faculties.
• To enable DEI to develop independently as per its own genius, the DEI should acquire a separate identity with the status of a deemed-to-be-university by which the university system in the country will be enriched.
• DEI, with its courses, is able to give a greater emphasis on preparing students for self-reliance and self-employment and thus fulfill its objective more effectively.
• DEI educational programmes address the contemporary needs by applying the most relevant principles of educational process like work-experience, learn by themselves, continuous assessment system, objective methods of assessment, integrated-interdisciplinary and inter-faculty teaching, accent on experimental teaching, production of effective teaching and learning materials and appropriate orientation of teachers.

Vision Statement

To provide linkages to all stakeholders’ potential ‘Values and Quality’ to the kinetic permanent state in a dynamically-oriented and refreshed equilibrium through integrated hierarchical system of education enabled by economic and flexible (jugaad) innovation technology founded firmly on DEI’s Education Policy.

DEI, a leading Entrepreneurship and Consciousness, Teaching-cum-Research Institute, is a model University, measured by its ‘excellence, but not at the cost of social relevance’ reaching up to the last, the least, the lowest and the lost; pursuing research and discovery with frugal innovations contributing with principle of achieving more with less for nation and community-building and beneficial to public at large with cultural reforms enriching and empowering weaker sections, women and children.

In the year 2004, DEI defined its VISION 2011. This policy heralded many features that have later been incorporated in the Nation’s education policy and programs. DEI has been a visionary and forerunner in adopting innovative schemes in the field of education.

The DEI Education Policy – 1975, foresaw many elements of the National Policy on Education – 1986. Similarly, the vocational education programmes of DEI started in 2004, foresaw many elements of the AICTE NVEQF and MHRD Community Colleges schemes launched almost a decade later and is an effort to effectively implement the following national missions for the Socio-Economic Development of the Country:

• The National Mission of Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan – Universal Elementary Education under the Right to Education Act
• Make in India
• Skilling India
• Digital India
• Clean India (Swachh Bharat Abhiyan)
• Unnat Bharat Abhiyan
• Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Abhiyan
• Green India

developing respect for ‘soiled hands’, dignity of labour, and, self-reliance

Vision 2031

The Dayalbagh Educational Institute has embarked upon a bold initiative, VISION 2031, and formulated a comprehensive and progressive Strategic Plan for 2012-2031, with the goal to become a top teaching-cum-research Institute through an exemplary system of education. To establish Total Quality Management across all activities of the University, the Plan encompasses undergraduate and postgraduate education, research, infrastructure, information and communication technology and campus development.

The Institute has accepted this challenge and is confident of achieving success with the cooperation of faculty, staff, students, alumni and other interested partners.

Mission Objective

Development of super-intelligent (super-conscious) humans who are self-governed and render selfless service in a rapidly-changing global scenario.

Education in Dayalbagh provides the linkages for this kinetic state in dynamic equilibrium. The linkages have to be  provided at all levels of hierarchy, right from pre-nursery to higher education, through an integrated education system. With technology intervention, this can be extended to the global level. The DEI Education Policy also offers a minimal-input to maximum-output approach through an economic, frugal (jugaad) and flexible model.

The DEI Education model is based on an experiential system rooted in Eastern spirituality and wisdom on the one hand, and modern scientific concepts and Western materialism on the other. While modern science provides solutions to mysteries of the physical world, Saints of the East had knowledge of the highest spiritual regions and consciousness, evolving to better worldliness.

At DEI, teaching institutions, industries and agricultural farms provide the three-dimensional activities for teaching-learning, production, and extension. The social service, work experience, educational innovation, cultural moorings, national integration and vocational training programmes are aligned with academic curricula. A teaching-learning community, including student and staff from pre-nursery to higher education from all castes, creeds, communities, and regions, works toward integrated community development.

Students at DEI

Major goals

DEI has identified the following major goals:

• Strengthen Entrepreneurial Education giving access to all applicants, even those without means
• Integrate agricultural farming and dairy education with Entrepreneurial and Consciousness Studies
• Emerge as an Entrepreneurial and Consciousness University.

A Unique Entrepreneurial University

The emergent model of education allows our students to self-support their education, making them job-creators, rather than job-seekers. Student entrepreneurship provides a platform for students to develop and market a variety of products and services, and capable of starting micro-enterprises, an earn-while-you-learn opportunity with vocational training at low cost.

The entrepreneurship model advocated is unique: the DEI model advocates a frugal, flexible (jugaad) approach to problem-solving rather than seeking funds from venture capitalists, and tries to do ‘more, with less’. We encourage jugaad and frugal innovation: the concept of jugaad does not imply sub-optimal but rather, the creation of a product that is flexible in its usage and has been economically innovated using locally-available materials, manpower and resources. Such products are affordable and cater to local market needs. DEI’s model of entrepreneurship tethers the student-entrepreneur to the rural economy, and also with national and international markets.

Integration of the Green and White Revolutions

Experiential knowledge gained in Dayalbagh’s practice of agriculture and dairy farming has been mainstreamed into education at DEI with the aim of creating the willingness and capacity to work with one’s own hands, promoting a respect for ‘soiled hands’, dignity of labour and a spirit of self-reliance.

Practical knowledge is gained by students where they are involved in the manufacture, distribution and sale of dairy and agricultural produce. The results have been highly encouraging and need to be replicated across the country and around the globe. Participation creates platform for research and labs on land, enabling creation of Intellectual Property by entrepreneurs and researchers.

A major by-product will be a library of successful ideas about agriculture, dairy and entrepreneurship in nano-enterprises in remote and distant villages. This combination of the second white and green revolution in over 400 villages will prove to be a game changer for women and children.

Through technology intervention the benefit of such unique education will be made available to one and all at any time, place and pace around the globe.

Excellence in Consciousness Studies

DEI proposes a new science of consciousness scientifically and experimentally, substantiating the existence of higher orders of consciousness through the SQUID (Super-conducting Quantum Interference Device) facility in its own Centre for Consciousness Studies. Our approach as an institute of excellence in consciousness studies is to integrate science and religion by applying the principles and rigour of science and scientific method to religion.

The Institute desires to see its students contribute to one or both of these areas, since a better understanding of either implies an improved ability to contribute to the development of society. Therefore, the education system, with its emphasis on values, is complemented by the inter-, trans- and multi-disciplinary academic curriculum. The Education Policy is based on the systems approach, through a study of science, mathematics, engineering, social sciences, fine arts, etc.

“He will not come into existence in a day; he will

evolve gradually as the human body evolved

gradually according to the Darwinian principle.

As is the case of the body, the mind and spirit will

also evolve gradually, and when the spirit and mind

achieve high purity, a Superman will come into

existence. Such a Superman, through the principle

of administration of inner self, will enjoy inner peace

and harmony and strive continuously to spread

the message of, Fatherhood of God and

Brotherhood of Man”.
–Revered Prof. Prem Saran Satsangi

The DEI mission objective is to transform Homo sapiens into Homo spiritualis: a complete man with balanced development of body, mind and spirit.

Integrated Holistic Healthcare at the Dayalbagh Medical Camp

A few weeks back, I had the opportunity to attend one of Dayalbagh Educational Institute's events TEDxDEI; an excellently organized event with so much of knowledge, learning and best practices being shared. One of the best talks at the event was by Dr. Anjoo Bhatnagar. She shared with us details of the excellent work being carried out by a pan-India team of Doctors and Super-Specialists, Doctors who follow the Hippocratic Oath and then do some more by including selfless service in their work.

Dr Anjoo Bhatnagar after completing her MBBS with honors and medals in almost all subjects of medicine and receiving President’s medal for her outstanding meritorious performance specialized in Pediatrics. After devoting half of her professional life in Leadership positions in Corporate Hospitals and in leading high-end intensive care pediatrics, she started participating in free medical camps at Dayalbagh and Rajaborari, starting from the inception of these camps around 8-9 years ago. While treating tribal and village children she realized that it’s here that her services are most needed. In her full-time role as a honorary consultant pediatrician and neonatologist at Saran Ashram Hospital at Dayalbagh she now uses her qualification and vast experience to treat children coming from disadvantaged backgrounds. Connecting to this needy segment of children has given her immense professional satisfaction. For her, this selfless service phase has been personally fulfilling and enriching and has been so very different from a world of gold medals, money and corporate hierarchies.

Dr. Anjoo Bhatnagar has put together a photo-essay this week explaining the genesis and working of this great initiative, sharing her experience of Dayalbagh multi-specialty medical and village assistance camps which have a mission to relieve the suffering of mankind by providing access to holistic Medical Healthcare Services to those who need it the most.

Remain Healthy,

Dr. Anjoo writes...

Let me take you for a visit to a Dayalbagh multi-specialty medical camp.

It’s 7 AM on a Sunday morning, and with the sunrise, the sound of folk music has started resounding on the banks of river Yamuna, filling the entire village environment with new energy that has started catching everyone’s attention.

Children from nearby villages start running towards the camp site, with a broad  smile on their faces, eager to enjoy activities they love for the next 3 hours, ending their 14 day wait, an event that has happened again and again for last many years, and continues to give their lives a new momentum.

This little girl knows where to look for the child specialist for her fever and cold and has come straight to my desk with her sister. Children don’t even need their parents to accompany them for the doctor’s consultation as they feel so confident and familiar with us.

This girls parents believe in the Ayurvedic system for treatment and want "Desi Davai"  for her ailment, 

while this grandmother has brought her little one for nebulization as a quick fix for her wheezy chest for which she is otherwise undergoing homeopathic treatment.

She is a tall young girl, a frequent visitor to the camp and is happy to have tried her hands today on block printing and this is her creation.

While these girls are learning to make soft toys and 

she is so engrossed in thread work and will not like to be disturbed by anything else.

This young boy is now an expert in chess as he has been playing it for the last many years here at ‘hole in the wall’ computer counter and is now guiding other children to develop basic computer skills. This hole in the wall activity, is the most popular amongst the deprived village children who flock this counter in increasing number of more than 1,200 and in their over 8,000 visits in these years have become sharper than ever. They  frequently surprise us by their computer skills which they have developed on their own  while navigating  through and helping each other if they get stuck at any point.

This is a diverse scenario from our free multi-specialty camps which is organized under the aegis of Dayalbagh medical relief and social welfare charitable societies. 

These camps have become extremely popular not only around Dayalbagh but at several other places all over India including Rajaborari, the remote tribal area of Madhya Pradesh where it was conceived in the summer tour of 2010 by Revered Prof Prem Saran Satsangi Sahab.

In these multi-specialty camps the patients are treated in an integrated manner according to their needs and are given a tailor made prescription to suit their unique requirement, constitution and choice.

Keeping with government directives patients are given generic medicines and that too free of cost and not samples.

Doctors from different specialty and systems of medicine have been working in collaboration now for last so many years. They are so easily approachable to the patients and also to each other that they don’t even need to get out of their seat for this. The in- charge Dayalbagh Medical Relief Society helps in organizing the camp along with NSS scheme of Dayalbagh Educational Institute.

Besides giving health advantage through an integrated approach to the financially weaker sections of society, for the multifaceted development of their children, the camp provides Recreation facilities. Children are provided with the material to engage their attention and are encouraged to explore. They are given freedom to choose according to their interest and then are left to do things themselves. They form their own groups, change groups if they want. Kids teach themselves and learn what they want to learn.

All this has surprisingly transformed not only the life of these children but also of their families because there is something of interest for everyone, every age and every aptitude.

For housewives there is food preservation counter, for villagers there is Assistance Services at Chaupal for understanding their problems related with Agriculture, Dairying, Water, Power, Sanitation etc. and to help or offer most feasible solution to them.

And then there is the live interactive commentary on "Bhagvad Geeta Ke Updesh". This helps to give ethical and spiritual values among people of this Neighborhood Community, through discussion. By giving simple explanation of its verses which continues to resound in the background, and inculcates moral values while the camp is on. The concept is imbibed by  everyone  including subconscious mind of children, that  can sprout at time of need when life demands tough decisions to be taken while making  distinction between right and wrong, in a universal perspective.

Education & Career Counselling Services are offered to guide youth about education options/ centres  and employment opportunities and to counsel school dropouts. A counter for spoken English helps develop basic conversational skills is also in place.

One of the girls who started coming and playing here since the camp started, has evolved and with career guidance from the camp, gotten herself enrolled in college and is now completing her BA. She has helped 3 other girls from her village to get admission into Dayalbagh Educational Institute. Education and learning is happening through induction at the camp.

Initially when we started, children were hesitant to admit that they have started liking these activities and when I asked one of the boys that how do you like the camp he turned his face and looked away from me saying ‘buro kya hai’ meaning ‘not bad’. But now over the years our relationship has strengthened and the children have developed trust and interest and now when they are asked the same question they out rightly appreciate it and say ‘bahut badhia’, ‘bahut kuch seekha’, its excellent/ superb, we have learnt a lot here.

In the tribal area of Rajaborari in Madhya Pradesh, 9 years ago at the inception of the camp few basic medicines were distributed but gradually with inclusion of other systems of medicine like Homeopathy and  Ayurveda, the camp has evolved into a holistic health camp with additional facility of tele-medicine for taking expert advice in complicated cases for this unapproachable remote area so that proper referral follows. The villagers are happy to take advantage of it and many tribal women have also taken to soft toy manufacturing, food preservation and stitching as their profession learning these activities at the camp.

To summarize, the most important factor is that these Medical camps are based on an integrated holistic theme.

Second is the consistency of the team and regular follow up. It’s not like a single mobile camp which has been conducted for one day and the team never returns for follow up after the publicity has been achieved!

Third is that the cooperation and closeness amongst doctors of different specialties and systems of medicine without clash of ego and interest is very rare, where patient’s benefit is the only consideration and the team members are all highly motivated to provide voluntary selfless service to mankind.

Starting from its installation to its winding up everything is done on voluntary basis by a team of Dayalbagh Educational Institute students, teachers, staff, and doctors from Saran Ashram Hospital and even village children are happy to help. This has brought about a sea change in overall health of all its beneficiaries including the health of doctors; by adding this dimension to their personality i.e. with ‘selfless service’ they themselves are now enjoying holistic health!
