INTERVIEW WITH MR. LUCKY SUMAN
Q.Sir how was your
experience in the college till now?
A. It has been great…wonderful.The best experience was to
get involved in SGM ie. Student Gyan
Movement. When I came in first year,I
got to know that SGM was first started
by M.Tech students and they were only a
part of it .So,I was the one who insisted IPG students to also be a part of
it.So I started teaching the students in
the second year itself.What I faced at home was that we all have qualities but
our family tends to suppress them,be it dancing or be it singing and insist
more on studying..The same was with the children here .Their parents used
to tell them that study and study,don’t indulge in any other activity.So when I
saw them,I thought that if they are good at studies,they can excel in other
fields also.So SGM taught them how to
dance and take part in other activities.This continued and now the situation is
that IPG, M.Tech, MBA ,P.Hd, the whole college and all the faculty members have
become a part of our SGM family.
Q. What inspired you
to come out of the academics and join Student Gyan Movement?
A .My life situations became my inspirations.I mean when I
was in school,in tenth standard,my family also persuaded me to give up dancing
and only study.So this passion of dancing remained buried somewhere deep inside
me.So I thought that no matter if I was not able to do it,if I was not provided
with a proper platform,at least I can provide a path for others like me to walk
on.That was my only inspiration.In
fact,not only me,anyone who comes to volunteer in SGM has one or the other story of inspiration behind it.
Q .Sir how was the
programme today?
A. I enjoyed the programme very much.It was very
good.Students of SGM also took part in it.So it was nice seeing the young
talent.
Q . How is Gwalior
different from your hometown?
A .Gwalior is good but my native place is better primarily, because of the backward society
here.People here think that studying is not meant for girls.According to them,
after completing senior school, if they go to college, then they will be
spoiled ,so better get them married .Even when I was in second year, one
of my students in SGM , who had just completed her twelfth
standard ,was forced to get married .I felt like crying seeing
such a mentality. How could they even
think of that? She had just turned 18.So these sort of things are very common
with the society here.People do not want girls to move forward and prosper more
than boys.They want girls to handle household chores only.
Q. Sir in what
direction are you working to eradicate this backwardness?
A . We go and talk to their parents and insist them to send their children to
study,ensuring them all round development of their ward.Not only they
send their children to study but
also help us to spread this message to
more and more children and their
parents. SGM started with a strength of 50 children studying in first to
twelfth standard.And today 130 students are a part of SGM family.Its not only
my pleasure,but of everyone who volunteers to teach these children.
Q .Sir what tagline
would you like to give to our institute?Any message for the students ?
A .For the students: Show Your Talent and show your presence.And
I believe that this institute provides a very good platform to nurture your
talents.
