What is the kind of work which is being done in India towards the Millennium Development Goals? How much of this work is really benefiting the local communities? What is the contribution given by the European Commission?
It was with these questions in mind that the EUGAD team started its journey in India. To understand better the situation and to get an idea of how we should proceed in the documentary making process, we decided to start our journey from the holy town of Varanasi. Here, instead of directly focusing on an EU founded project, we chose to learn from smaller self-founded project which will then give us more insights on how to better document the major projects which we will be covering.
The story showcases the Krishnamurti Foundation which runs a private boarding school where it generates profits with which they find a rural school and hospital. “It was with a feeling of responsibility towards the community around” says Prof. Krishna, that motivated Krishnamurti to start the rural institutions.
But how do the village people perceive this help? In this very interesting documentary we discover how people can sometimes become accustomed to aid and not value it in the same degree at which they earlier used to…. but should this stop is from helping them?
