1. Theme – A tale from hills
Abstract:
The case study unfolds the story of Bansi; a boy who belonged to a small village in the hills of Nainital district of Uttrakhand. He later grows up in the concrete environs of a metropolitan city, Delhi. He is deeply attached to his village Peora. He also appreciates its composite culture and heritage. He truly enjoys the hassle- free life of his village. But the carefree moments of village life are short lived. With his father’s employment in Delhi, he experiences a total shift in his surroundings. However he grows up as a confident and conscientious youth in the city and adapts his life to the rhythm of the metropolitan city. It is important to note that throughout his time in Delhi, he remains deeply connected to his roots.
He is excited at the prospect of revisiting his village. When the disaster takes place in his village, he does not run away from the situation. Instead, he stays put and helps the victims of the flood to rebuild their lives. He becomes one of the central figures involved in the rehabilitation tasks and further plans to minimize the damage from natural disasters. All this reveals the depth of his character, his determination, his unflinching resolve and his spirit to serve mankind.
