· I printed total 2000 pieces of Global peace campaign posters (wall
hangings) in Hindi & English.
- Pictorial story of immortal ‘Sadako’ – victim of Hiroshima who is doing
her peace campaign for last 59 years without break all over the world
through her little ‘peace bird’ (folded paper bird)
- Her story in words. Total Nuclear Programmes reality & relevancy with us.
- How to make the peace bird – graphics (of orogany) with illustrations.
· Worked as a local translator of Hibakusha in Marathi, Hindi or Indian
English in his programmes in Schools, collages, public meetings, press
conferences, Actvists meets, village programmes, interviews etc. I was
full time with him in Nagpur & Raipur & nearby with my exhibitions on
‘Nuclear & Peace’

Taketa Yasuhiko member of ‘Hiroshima Prefectural confederation of Atomic
Bomb Sufferers.’
February – March
· Visited ‘Achhoti’ to see Sri Nagrajji and others for orientation &
clarity of ‘Jevan Vidhya Darshan’
· Melghat, (Dist. Amaravati, Maharashtra) Vidya Awareness Campaign –
Villagers, Friends, Social workers & activities in melghat had no. of
things to share. It was even more than n year that I had ‘Vidya Awareness
Camps’ in Melghat. Its difficult to express in words their satisfaction
and charm. Due to ‘Vidya’. Thanks to Nagrajji. His philosophy has been
of great help to me and ultimately to my close ones.
· Plans & contacts were done for programmes in Kanpur & Mandla, Nagpur.
March – April

educational centers & in community places. Details attached.

teachers.
· Kolupur Melghat, Amaravati Awarness program in 8 days children camp.
· Villages in Mandla Dist. (Near Jabalpur) M.P. An atomic Nuclear Power
Plant is to come in village chotka – Patna 10 days visit t 10 villages
near chotaka Patna with Darkabhai. Had village meetings & contacted local
leaders. Narayan Desai’s awarness songs on Nuclear energy had good
response than the posters. Illiterate women said we will take the
message to as many as possible through songs. We have suffered a lot from
Narmada – Barghi Dam. Know Mega Projects well. We won’t let it enter
here. Barghi Dam fight was a delay. This time don’t want to repeat the
mistake.
· I knew few people in every village I visited. I talked with them in
their dialect since they a Dakabhai’s relatives. He is ‘Dhimar’. Selfly
rehabilitated from Padm village, submerged in Barghi Bandh; to Harda on
bank of Tapi in Maharashtra. I stayed for 7 years in Melghat. So he is
my neighbourer.
· When we reached in ‘Patna’ villagers were busy with two marriages.
Still response was thumping, even in short notice and time limit. They
also talked about Sandeep’s slide show in Chotka. One badrock as peoples
grievances for N.B.A’s Mr. Ajkumar de to Mahasangh. Others were positive
for Medha.
