Keeping the ideologies of Mahatma Gandhi in the Center‚ Nootan Bharati has been undertaking the educational as well as various constructive functions of rural development the since last 65 years. We feel joyous by presenting glimpses of its development before you. The founding stone and the pioneer of this institution is Shri Ramjibhai P. Vahora. He belongs to Madana. He took his primary education upto standard-4 in his village. As there was no facility of higher education in his village‚ he studied at Palanpur upto S.S.C. He passed S.S.C. in 1955. At that time the antisocial activities like theft‚ robbery and gundaism were in full swing in Madana. He didn’t want to take higher education as he wanted to free his village from those nuisances. But some of his friends advised Shri Ramjibhai to study ‘Rural Services’ at Gujarat Vidhyapeeth‚ Ahmedabad established by Mahtma Gandhiji and then only sit in Madana if he wanted to serve Madana. As per their advice‚ Ramjibhai studied in Gujarat Vidhyapeeth and got his graduation degree in 1958 and from the same year he started his mission and has been serving for his native Madana since last 49 years. During his studies at Gujarat Vidhyapieeth‚ he advised his elders brother Shri Hemchandrabhai that if he wanted to establish an institution at Madana he must have about 200 acres land for that. By getting co-operation from the villagers‚ he managed to acquire 52 acres lands as a donation from the farmers. But the said land was under custody of the robbers. The robbers extorted the lands from the Harijans and small workers of the village. like this the robbers used to rob the farmers crop‚ ruin their standing crops and leave their animals to destroy standing crops also. Therefore terrified farmers were force to give away their lands to the robbers for ploughing it on half share basis. In collusion with the Talatis the said robbers tampered with the records and got them selves registered as the tenants on the said disputed land. Moreover‚ they also stole the farmers cattle‚ extorted money from the farmers by tying them with the trees and harassed the women. If any farmers dared to face them‚ they used to kill him. Harijans and small workers of the village left the village due to terror and henceforth‚ the villages were ruined.
