Vadayakkandy's 'visheshsngal'
Vadayakkandy’s mission
Broadly speaking Vadayakkandy’s mission is to serve the society. To be specific let’s analyze his involvements in the various spheres like educational, political, environmental, cultural, social etc.
Educational
Being a teacher, of course, his involvement in the educational sphere is commentable.But there also he has got a special mission to take over. He has more than thousand pupils who shine in different walks of life, who think of him reverently and relevantly. Certainly this will be true with every teacher. But beyond this his role in the teaching of English in the high schools of Kerala is exemplary.
English had been taught by any graduate teacher in our high schools .The e G.O(MS) 11/2002 dtd. 7/1/2002 made it mandatory that in the high schools English should be taught by English graduates who have English BEd also. The English Graduates’ Association, he being its Secretary, sweated a lot behind the issue of such an order. The clarification orders of the above said order bears the representation from Secretary English Graduates’ Association as reference,none but he was that secretary. The order has made a revolution in the English teaching learning process and English is no longer the toughest for the high school pupils.
Political
Being born in a Congress family, he also was considered a Congress supporter. But during the early stages he made little interest in politics. On the other hand, while being a student in Govt. College Madappally, he had close contacts with SFI leaders and other Left Movements; and once he had membership in Sastra Sahithya Parishad.
Many eyebrows were raised when he started his political career as a Kerala Congress man which ofcourse made a turning point in his life. Soon he became the state committee member of Kerala Congress (M); he was the state gen. secretary of Kerala Private Teachers’ Front, the teachers ‘ union of Kerala Congress, for one term. He could realize that his presence could be made better in this party unlike in the other major parties and the people around him could be better benifitted.His political influence helped him a lot in the issue of the English Order (GO[MS] 11/2002).The foot path from East U.P School to Cheriyariyattil rock, the Thriruvallur Registrar Office _ Siva Temple road,Kannambathukara _ Karimbakkandy road,Iringath_ Moottapparambu road(Meppayur Panchayath),Pilathottam _Mangam Moozhi road (Maniyur Panchayath) ,inclusion of Kavumkuni colony in Ambedkar colony along with many other minor and major activities give examples for his political involvement. His services as a Kadvu Committee member, Taluk Legal Services Committee member etc. can never be looked down upon. And ofcourse there is a long way to go with the help of the people around him
Cultural
His involvement in the cultural sphere is note worthy.And of course it is many in number.One among them let's examine. He is a noted announcer in the youth festivals.His announcement has got certain specialties.Usually the announcements are made in 'Munglish' ie. in a language where Malayalam and English are mixed.But unlike others he uses only Malayalam words while making the announcement.When the state Youth festival (Kerala School Kalolsavam) was held at Kozhikodein 2009-2010 the channels and the news papers found this very interesting and spent their time and space for covering it.An example is here:
