We work on all the 365 days.
And one of the key reasons which helped us change our vision of universal
development is Rohan.
Rohan, one of the two sons of founder of CSRidentity.com, helped us
think that universal development will only happen if we value &
take care of disabled citizens.
We call them differently abled citizens but we cant change the thinking
of the world in a minute or year or decade ...
We realised
that having a disability places you in the world's largest minority
group.
Rohan, the elder son of our founder, helped us in our thinking that
money is just one thing that helps one's sustainability.
The most important thing we all possess is mind.
We must remember that any one can be disabled anytime in her / his life.
The reasons can be many, like birth defects or accident or diesases
like Alzheimers. Currently
around 10 per cent of the total world's population, (the world population
is 7 billion+ or 7000 million+, so we are talking about 70 million+
specially challenged - most in this world calls it as disabled),
live with a disability.
In most of the OECD countries, females have higher rates of disability
than males. Eighty per cent of persons with disabilities live in developing
countries, according to the UN Development Program (UNDP). The World
Bank estimates that 20 per cent of the world's poorest people have some
kind of disability.
In Medical terms, Rohan faces sensory integration and after the almost
fatal accident of Sanjay Moreshwar Bapat, founder, we realised again
that all of us need to look at differently abled (disabled)
in a positive mindset. Our vision can never be achieved if citizens
treat Rohan & similar citizens negatively.
We are grateful to a
Foundation to take Rohan in their hostel on the day of the almost
fatal accident, 28.08.2013. Now Rohan can
stay at home but we realised the value of credible hostel is much beyond
staying. It helps these world citizens in a positive manner, something
we cant do at home because our love for our children comes as an obstacle
in goodness of citizens like him. Also, the fact is that a disabled
person is treated like a citizen in a hostel with key disciplines and
that citizen enjoys the company of similar citizens).
We must say that Rohan is a 24 hours teacher of Integration.
Aum
Sanjay Moreshwar Bapat, founder, thought that his second
son, Aum, should take CSRidentity.com & DevelopedNation.org much
further & deeper because we are much more than just a site; it is
a continuous process which converts thinking into a site.
So Aum was just in 8th standard when he was taken to Vienna, Austria
to take a view of the status of citizens in this world. For almost 3
days, he attended the Global social business
summit and he met Prof. Muhammad Yunus, father of microcredit, initiator
of social business & Nobel Prize winner.
He also was taken to Seoul when he was in 9th standard when our founder
went to Global compact meeting there. But Aum wanted to practice as
a doctor.
Aum was not taken to Japan because he was in 10th standard then, and
10th standard is key in India.
But Sanjay Moreshwar Bapat knows his thinking can never be his WILL
because every individual has her / his own WILL.
Aum was keen to study medicine and after the almost fatal accident of
his father, he confirmed his education will be in the field of medicine.
On 01.09.2015, he became a student of medicine.
He thought his MS will be in neurosurgery after his meeting with Dr
Harshad Purandare.
Then he met Atul Vaze who said that Liver and Kidney are two parts
which can be easily transplantated and there are lot of people who need
it.
Aum is also thinking Radiology as post graduate study.
Dr Harshad Purandare told him to think more than one specialisation
area because no one knows whether a student will get admission in any
one specialised area.
Our founder will be very happy if Dr Purandare or any great doctor like
him comes out with brain transplant surgery and Aum takes that as his
field.
Our founder will be extremely happy that maybe after 75 years, his brain
should be given to Rohan, if the physical conditions permit.
Our founder Sanjay Moreshwar Bapat is now thinking that Aum should
do what millions of people need and it doesnt need any transplantation.
The disease (we are perhaps few who call it disease) is called as mental
corruption and in every country you will find citizens who suffer from
this so called disease (rich & poor, urban & rural) . The only
issue is that there will be millions of patients but no relatives or
officials will take such a patient of mental corruption to a doctor
because nobody wants medicine for greed which develops this disease.
Only spiritual medicine helps (and not medicine which we get in a chemist
shop or in hospitals).
After 28.08.2013, Sanjay decided to focus
of promoting stakeholders (not for profits, for profits, celebrities....)
working & helping for universal development.
Of course he knows that it costs to share technical inputs, do research
to develop the site and mainly promote the site globally. So he will
share his time at scenarios in all countries.
And he knows that NGOs, corporates, funding agencies, philanthropists,
celebrities would like the world to know them (and he believes that
with technology, world will be an IT global village faster than Non
IT ways of making the world a village)
Sanjay feels that citizens dont like the number 13 but dont we breathe
on 13th day of the month or 13th second of a minute or 13th year of
life .... or if one gets 100% marks (100 comes after 13)... So please
dont be myopic and think number 3 and 13 are bad. Afterall one must
understand that in Olympics there are 3 medals in each sports category
(Gold, Silver & Bronze).
We know that everyone needs money for treating hunger (not greed; infact
there is no money which is enough for greedy humans), and taking care
of the health of the family. So now Rohini, wife of founder takes care
of our financial & health sustainability (She was anyway doing that
since 1989).
Are we getting personal ?
We thought we are getting too personal but we know that we must start
universal development from ourselves and our home.
Afterall, everything starts with oneself.
That is perhaps the reason we started a forum on Parents because parents
can be personal parents in physical terms but Sanjay Moreshwar Bapat
thinks his parents were parents of country. His mother was indirectly
responsible to teach him Value Education when he was in KG. And this
is not financial value education but thinking of Value. His father was
simple and had great courge to take decisions on his family matters.
For him, truth was always more important than blood relatives.
We know that Rohan is just one of the 10% citizens in this world who
lives with disability.
But he is one of the key reasons why we work on all days (dont we breathe
everyday whether it is weekday, saturday, sunday, religious day, independence
day? For us work is now our hobby). We know that one life can never
change this world. But if each citizen invests at least 2% of her /
his time & money for universal development, it can happen faster.
And one must set self behaviour as an example.
See Bhau, a world citizen who was 82 years and
had the courage to help Sanjay & his family on 28.08.2013
(Of course before, on and after)
We will be happy if all citizens (including the agewise senior citizens)
replicate Bhau (modify, if situation needs) . |
