Guest guest Posted January 12, 2002 Report Share Posted January 12, 2002 haribol prabhus pamho agtsp You've mentioned tennents, but we find the whole tennancy thing a nightmare to establish. We also have huge problems in the back off zone and the breaking of principles. I think that this will be a hard sell in some temples and from previous history I would be cautious myself. There may be need to do a census of temple communities to view their feelings on this. We also need to look at the recurrent theme of management in temples as if they are constantly disrupting rural development. Who is managing temples? Don't they have land committees and is management not made up of the department heads and chosen brahmins. Ideally this is the direction we are going in, and at the moment, although not perfect,we are focusing more than ever. Maybe the Rural Development Plan needs to have some broader aims to creating harmony otherwise we will have great devotee farmers who are insecure, and a temple community divorced from the congregation. The social side of this should not be weighted to economic success, it should be equal to all factors and part of that is looking at proper structures throughout all aspects of community life. Rural development will mirror current rural structures which are dying from out-migration, lack of identification by younger generations etc. unless the social structure is more focused than merely tolerence of anyone weilding a hoe. Otherwise they can farm anywhere. ys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
