G S Oinam *

"(L) Dr. Th. kishan was a true lover of hills and plains. Being a clean civil servant, he never mined posting to any part of Manipur. He was killed mercilessly by the men he love and trust most. State government had lost a good servant of bright future; but his spirit of good administration will ever remain." (G.S. Oinam met him for the last time in the winter 2007 at Gandhi Vihar, Delhi.)

The School of Productivity is a new idea developed by G.S. Oinam to fight our challenges like health, ignorance, poverty and unemployment etc. within a single system for the rural development of Manipur, North east, rural India; developing countries of the world as well This school of productivity will disseminate to Europe and developed countries to aware about financial literacy. (65% of the Europe is financially illiterate according to a survey of Oxford University.) Professor (Dr. Engr.) Ahamed Hommadi, Harvard University graduate (Double doctorate degree in Industrial Engineering and Management is guiding to prepared the project. He has served as Vice Chancellor to Baghdad Tech. University (Iraq), Academic advisor to Ajman University, UAE, Vice president to Ittihad University, Representative of Charles University, Czechoslovakia Republic; representative of Saint Steven University of Budapest ; former Chief technical Advisor to UNESCO and UNEDO. G.S.

The School of productivity is warmly welcome by the Nippon Foundation, Japan and the project is under study and progress for the establishment in Manipur covering three villages i.e. Wangoo, Chairen and Tangjeng for the first year and the project is targeting to cover entire Thoubal district within 5 years. After Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan visits to Gulf countries and his requested to infra structural investment in India, OPEC Fund Organisation sent a e-mail to submit the project proposal. Our team is studying some project sites of Manipur and north east for the first time for OPEC funding. If State government of Manipur interested to establish the same project then they may write to British Government. (DFID, UK are not funding to individual Organisation). In a reply to e-mail, Mr. N. S. Kheparh, DISO, Cabinet and communications DFID British High commission, said that DFID is supporting programmes to Union government and state government of Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and West Bengal to improve the poverty impact of their public policies and services to access for the poor to basic education, health, water and sanitation services, improve governance, promote better management of natural and physical environment, and promote greater empowerment of poor, especially women and most marginalised section of the society. G.S. Oinam has communicated most of the international development agencies which India having development relations. Realising the problems of rural economy and recognizing the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) reports, India government has given a special focus on rural health, education, food and infrastructure in the interim budget 2009.

Today, Indian Council for Technical Education is becoming a powerful autonomous body. They provide funding too. Our sick private and government collages and schools can be upgraded to effective technical Institution with the help of ICTE, India. Corporate bodies like ONGC, India oil, Oil India Ltd, Bharat petroleum, Hindustan Petroleum are providing funding to state government (public private partnership) and NGOs under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Programmes. This is the right opportunity to raise fund for rural poor of North east and Manipur in particular.

The School of Productivity in details:

The School of Productivity is specially designed to fight our basic human challenges i.e. health, ignorance and poverty within a single system. This is the institutionalization and improvement of vocational courses and self help groups (SHG) of rural development. By productivity, we mean the state of efficiency in the process of productive ideas, thought and production. We measured productivity not only the wealth but also happiness of the people. Prosperity belongs to those who learn new things faster and it is depends more on wanting what we have than having what we want. That is productivity which brings our prosperity and it is being able to do things that are never able to do before. Productivity is not an option, it is an obligation. Our great challenges like health, ignorance and poverty which are the main obstacles for sustainable rural development for a complex, plural country like India, should be tackle by a holistic approach and modality of productivity looking at them as one system to enhance productivity and thereby quality of life.
