Every town has a rich history. There are many things related to the village traditions, i.e., historical Background, Rituals, Religious Harmony, handicrafts, etc. Go to the village, talk to the people there, and do research. Even if it is not a book, it would be good to write an article. But who writes like that? It would be good to go and write history. For the first time in the history of the country, a wonderful movement to write public history by the people under the name of ‘Mana Ooru- Mana Charitra’ was launched. In the 12,756 villages of the state, students studying degrees and PG are working hard to write the history of the villages. Writing essays with students on villages is part of the seminar. To implement this programme in all villages across the state, a ‘special questionnaire for the construction of village histories’ has been prepared. A questionnaire was prepared on seven aspects of the village’s resources: economic, historical, social, etc. It includes topography, water resources (rivers, streams, canals, ponds, and wells), and other resources (hills, hills, wastelands, forests, and arable land).
The teaching of local history in schools as part of the history curriculum has been advocated since the beginning of the twentieth century. Local history has been recommended as an active way of learning history and has become popular with debates on globalization and postmodernism in recent years. The importance of local history is emphasized in the new Social Knowledge and History Curriculum in many countries. The main aim of this seminar is to discuss the place and purpose of local history writings and explore the unknown history and culture at village level. It will review relevant literature to elicit the potential benefits and problems of using local history in society.
The main aim of the Seminar is to make the students aware of the importance of Writing History as part of Mana Ooru- Mana Charitra (Our Village, Our History). Historiographers of India have been developed through the decades. Various schools like the Cambridge School, the Nationalist School, the Marxist School, and the Subaltern School have contributed to writing History on various aspects. The students will be exposed to different schools of thought.
