Gujarat’s Patidad, an ideal village in Hindu color(Video)
Patidad/Gondal/Rajkot, DeshGujarat, 4 March, 2009
Patidad near Gondal in Saurashtra area of Gujarat is an interesting village. All the houses, walls, everything external in this village has been painted in a light saffron Hindu color.Village’s Gayatri Parivar has started this movement with support from villagers.
You watched how casually Congress Textile Minister Shankarsinh Vaghela commented on the issue of slums relating with the India’s villagers and their migration to cities. But just watch here, Patidad can be the answer.
Patidad, famous as an ideal village is the place where Gutkha and tobacco are banned by the villagers voluntarily. Women in Patidad have formed a group for satsang and bhajans and they are now exploring opportunities of making Khakhra and Papad to export abroad. Youths in this village organize polio camps, they eradicate Ganda Bawal weed, they work for check dams to conserve water, they have planted 11000 trees in the village. The standard of Cleanliness in the village is unmatched. The commentary in the video is in Gujarati language.

11000 trees, check dam to conserve water and more interestingly Khakhra and Papad to export abroad… i am becoming fan of gujarat day by day. i am from andhra and working in bangalore. I would definitely visit gujarat during my next trip. Thanks deshgujarat.com for positive journalism. I am visiting this site day in day out as an alternative to timesofindia!!!.
That’s another thing about Gujarat. People are more civic minded, they don’t depend on the government to do everything for them, a vibrant civil society is present and citizens are very pro-active about improving their community for the better. Jai Gujarat!
