Community Cooperation

In the morning of Monday the 17^th of January, the Green Village Ventures team paid a visit to the Headquarters of the the NGO Jay Yash Bahuddeshiya Pratishthan (JYP). An MoU confirming our continuing cooperation was signed, we had a meeting with the team that conducted the Pilot Project survey and we visited a JYP project.

The NGO Jay Yash Bahuddeshiya Pratishthan (JYP) has been active for 5 year in Barshi taluka. Their modus operandis has been to ‘adopt’ a village and provide health care. This could be the installation of sanitary buildings, or the education of the populace through free Health Camps. They have also been working on the foundation of schools and campuses in the region, creating futures for the Barshi youth.

The organization and know-how the NGO had built up over the years was the ideal basis for the GVV Carbon Saving pilot project. So, as soon as GVV heard of this organization, and we were struck by the goals we had in common, we decided to contact this NGO. GVV believed that an association with this NGO would lead to the betterment of all projects and, through them, of the region.

GVV & JYP have been working together ever since in Barshi taluka, on the Barshi Pilot Project. JYP has allowed GVV to use its extensive network and has provided invaluable assistance in the conduct of the GVV Survey on the patterns of electricity & kerosene use. When a stakeholder meeting was to be organized, they also gladly took it upon themselves to organize a venue (the 18^th Century Gopalkrishna temple in Gopalpur (Pandharpur)) and help with the practical efforts surrounding it.
 

On the 17^th of January, the GVV team paid a visit to the JYP headquarters in Barshi. There, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed, to confirm the continued cooperation between GVV and JYP. We talked at great length about our common and other projects and were invited to visit one of JYPs latest triumphs, the Shriman Bhausaheb Zadbuke Institute of Technology Puri, Barshi. They are still in the construction process, but we were allowed to have a sneak preview of the partially finished classrooms. It all looked very promising. 

We also paid a visit to the finished Shriman Bhausaheb Zadbuke Mahavidyalay, Barshi Department of BBA and BCA College, the students of which had gotten some valuable work experience helping GVV conducting a survey in preparation of the Barshi Pilot Project. We got a warm welcome of the staff and students and arranged for all of the surveyors to receive a certificate, acknowledging their work and thanking them for their efforts.
