Village Study Report
Name of the Village: Veerapur
Team Members : Lingaraj and Jagadeesh
On 17 of February we both had been to veerapur. It is around 26 Km away from Dharwad. While travelling we found quarries throughout the way. It comes under Ramapur Village Panchayat and surrounded by these villages namely Ramapur, Kallapur, Hosawal. Each village is very near to one another.
As soon as we entered the village we saw school and went to meet the head master so that we can make arrangement of accommodation and get cooperation. We introduced our self and explained about the intension of village study. Later we met Anganawadi teacher and collected some general information.
After the lunch Mr. Manohar called and met me. He took us to a house and told them that, they will conduct village study and stay here for 3 days. Then we both started roaming around the village as to introduce with villagers. We come across some of them and talk to them and also observed their houses, streets, fields etc.
In the evening we went to transect walk and saw a big lake which was under reconstruction. Then I discussed with the villagers about their life and daily activities. On the next morning we went to many households and collected the data regarding their livelihoods. Later we visited to Panchayat office to get some secondary data and we collected. After that we discussed with SHG members and came to know about their activities. And I spent some time with school children. In the evening we chatted with some young unemployed youth and they asked us the career opportunities, we tried to tell them.
On the final day we met elder women and spoke about their life, how was it in their previous days and they started to describing it. And I also discussed their livelihoods. Likewise we went through different ways to know more about this village.
