Inspiring man

But this is what happens with communist and congy rule.
Toni Rüttimann works independently alongside communities in need, using recycled materials and charging no fees.[1]

Companies contribute by donating their used material and local governments concede permits and help with transportation in recognition of the fact that the main effort is made by the population. No one asks for anything in return and the bridge belongs to the population who built it.[2]

The bridges are for use of pedestrians, pack animals, motorcycles, two-wheel-tractors - but not for cars.

In every country where Toni works, he builds up a small team of national welders and looks for one “bridge-building partner”, to whom he teaches his craft, and who in turn is able to perform maintenance duties on the bridges built.[3]

Toni has no home residence: he carries everything he needs in two bags. One for his personal belongings, the other for his laptop computer and a few tools for his trade.[1][4]

In collaboration with local communities, he has built 648 bridges which serve 1.9 million people (as of March 20, 2014)

Swimming Teacher from Kerala

While appreciating and congratulating the teacher for his dedication it is also time to remind the government to construct a bridge to solve the problem of crossing the river as it would be of a social capital too.

Malik and Education
by Prabhakar Waghodekar on Feb 27, 2016 03:46 PM

What is the outcome of 65 years of our rule? To get a job of a primary teacher worth Rs 1350 pm, pay bribe of Rs 50000, teacher has to travel over 12 km changing two buses, etc. In a country, whee corruption has made a space in education (education is the last sector to get corrupted), it means corruption in flowing through our blood. Is it the right result of our self-government? Democracy Govt? We are destined to finish. But who cares? I care for my gains. Jai Ho!
