A New Revolution from the Malabar Hills and Valleys: Farmers Rise with Modern Pepper Cultivation | Global TV

Action Journalism, Story Time

Wealth generation through agricultural revolution, even from small spaces | Paithal Hills FPO: Farmers’ Own Company | Global TV

NV Paulose, Chairman, Global TV +91 98441 82044

Farmers Collective is doing great wonders in Kerala. The history is repeated with great innovations and youth involvement. It is so fascinating to note a quiet revolution growing in the serene landscape of Karuvanchal. It is not a political initiative or state driven career development or market exploration plan. It is a movement from the dynamic people. It is an agricultural transformation rooted in tradition, powered by innovation, and driven by a collective vision.

Wealth generation through agricultural revolution, even from small spaces.
This powerful message echoed through the halls of Leaders Club, Karuvanchal, on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, where over a hundred participants gathered for a free training session on modern pepper cultivation, organized by Paithal Hills Farmers Producer Company Limited in collaboration with Royal Pepper Farming Company. The event was not just about farming techniques; it was a call to reimagine agriculture as a dignified, profitable, and future-ready career for small and marginal farmers.

The Spirit Behind the Event


The event began with a solemn prayer and thanksgiving.  Mr. Lukose P.T., MD of Paithal Hills FPO, extended a warm welcome, reminding everyone that agriculture, when done with planning and purpose, can change lives and transform communities. Presiding over the function, Dr. K.M. Thomas, Chairman of Paithal Hills FPO, emphasized the importance of blending scientific methods with local wisdom. “Pepper farming is not just about growing a spice; it is about cultivating possibilities, sustaining families, and securing futures,” he said.

Voices of Encouragement
The event was graced by Mr. Joji Kannikkattu, President of Alakode Grama Panchayat, who lauded the efforts of Paithalmala in creating employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for local youth.

Directors Mr. Jostin K. Augustin and Mr. A.P. Sebastian highlighted the company’s long-term vision: building a farmer-led ecosystem that is commercially viable and environmentally sustainable.

Mr. Jameerjan, President of the Leaders Club, Karuvanchal, spoke of the symbolic importance of the venue; a club meant to inspire leadership, now witnessing a movement led by farmers themselves.

Adding to the momentum were insights from Mr. Amal Jose, CEO of Paithal Hills FPO, who stressed on quality assurance and market access, and Mr. Sibichen Abraham, Promoter of Paithal Hills FPO, who shared inspiring stories of transformation through collective farming and organised marketing.

Learning for a Lifetime
The highlight of the program was the training session on modern pepper cultivation, conducted by Mr. Mathew K.T. and Mr. Dennis Abraham; both well-respected in the field for their practical expertise and grassroots connection. The duo walked the audience through the step-by-step process of setting up profitable pepper farms using modern methods such as high-yield varieties, organic boosters, vertical farming techniques, and sustainable irrigation models.

Participants were especially inspired by the idea that even small plots of land; once considered unviable, could now yield high profits with strategic planning. Many gained technical knowledge along with hope and a clear action plan.

Paithal Hills FPO: Farmers’ Own Company
What sets Paithal Hills FPO apart is its foundational ethos; a company by the farmers, for the farmers. Today. when agriculture is often dominated by corporate interests, Paithal Hills FPO stands out as a grassroots-owned enterprise, empowering local farmers to take charge of both production, safe food and profit.

This is a great movement. A movement that believes you can do what you love; passionately, while also earning from it diligently. It encourages even those in responsible positions or government jobs to find time for complementary ventures like agriculture, thereby promoting their personal growth as well as institutional pride.

Moving Ahead
The journey doesn’t end here. Paithalmala plans to roll out more training programs, seed distribution drives, buyer-seller meets, and technology collaborations to make farming a mainstream livelihood choice once again.

Let us not forget; every revolution begins with a small step. At Karuvanchal, it began with a pepper vine, and with it, the promise of a better tomorrow.

Karnataka Bank’s Heartfelt CSR Contribution Brings Warmth and Hope to Snehalaya
In a moving act of compassion, Karnataka Bank, through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, extended generous support to Snehalaya Psycho-Social Rehabilitation Centre—reaffirming its deep commitment to human dignity, healing, and care for the most vulnerable.

Snehalaya, a sanctuary for the abandoned and mentally ill, gratefully received 50 warm coats, beds, pillows, and over 700 bedsheets and pillow covers. This life-affirming contribution, valued at ₹10.57 lakhs, will offer comfort, warmth, and a sense of dignity to the residents on their journey of recovery and transformation.


The emotional event was graced by Shri Vishwanath S.R., Assistant General Manager, and Mr. Sham Kumar, Manager of Karnataka Bank’s Uchila Branch. Also present was Rev. Fr. Cyril D’Souza, Chaplain of Snehalaya, who blessed the gathering and the heartfelt gesture.

Br. Joseph Crasta, Executive Director and the soul behind Snehalaya’s mission, warmly welcomed the guests and shared the centre’s inspiring journey. “These are not just beds or blankets,” he said, his voice filled with emotion. “They are symbols of care, hope, and a shared belief in the power of healing. They tell our residents, ‘You are not forgotten. You are loved.’” He also fondly recalled the bank’s earlier act of faith in 2021–22, when Karnataka Bank donated an electric auto to Snehalaya—even before the centre had opened an account with them.

Shri Vishwanath, moved by the atmosphere, expressed his deep admiration: “I am truly proud that Karnataka Bank’s CSR support has reached a place where it genuinely touches lives. Snehalaya is doing incredible, selfless work, and it fills me with pride to be a part of this journey. We assure our continued support in the future.”

Mrs. Veena, Deputy Administrator of Snehalaya, also conveyed heartfelt gratitude to the bank and its representatives, highlighting how such acts of kindness uplift not just individuals, but entire communities.
The gathering was a beautiful reflection of unity, love, and shared humanity—residents and staff alike joined in celebration, their smiles telling stories of renewed hope.
Snehalaya extends its deepest gratitude to Karnataka Bank for believing in their mission and walking hand-in-hand with them. In a world that often forgets the broken, this gesture reminds us all: kindness heals, and compassion restores.

Children with Special Needs – A Pressing Concern in Modern India

Eric J B D’Souza

Children with special needs are given countless labels—be it “mentally challenged,” “intellectually disabled,” “differently abled,” or “children of God.” Yet, just as a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, the challenges these children face in India remain significant, regardless of how we choose to describe them.

Although initiatives exist at the national, state, and local levels, it is still painfully evident that a comprehensive, fully functional support structure for these children and their families is lacking—especially when compared with many Western nations, where such children are recognised as “privileged citizens” and benefit from robust, lifelong care systems from “womb to tomb.”

Incomplete Data and an Overlooked Population

A serious concern is the lack of accurate data on the number of children (and adults) with mental or intellectual disabilities. The Indian census does not distinguish between those who are physically disabled and those who are mentally disabled; consequently, it is impossible to ascertain the exact number of individuals who need specialised care.

The last nationwide census was conducted in 2011, placing India’s population at 1.21 billion. By 2025, estimates suggest that figure may have risen to around 1.45 billion—a substantial increase. Naturally, the number of children and adults with special needs has also likely grown, yet we have no precise records of how many require vital support and services.

A Personal Glimpse: Vijay, Vimla, and Santhosh

To illustrate the dire need for more comprehensive care, consider the fictional case of Vijay and Vimla, who welcomed their son, Santhosh, in 2002, six years after the birth of their healthy daughter. Their joy was soon tempered by the gradual realisation that Santhosh’s development was delayed and his behaviour increasingly difficult to comprehend.

In 2005, they were informed he had a form of brain damage that necessitated lifelong support. The shock of this diagnosis reshaped their lives. Suddenly, everything revolved around Santhosh: his daily needs, his communication barriers, and his ongoing therapies.

Parenting a child with special needs can place immense strain on family life, marital relationships, health, and careers. Vijay and Vimla’s ability to focus on their work was severely compromised, as was their hope for an ordinary family life.

Although they eventually learned to cope, the most pressing question remains unanswered: Who will care for Santhosh after they are gone? Even if they manage to save and invest on his behalf, Santhosh will always require dedicated support and someone to help him navigate everyday tasks.

In India, where official records do not properly account for children and adults like Santhosh, there is no substantial, unified system to ensure they will be cared for in later life.

A Collective Responsibility: Areas for Improvement

Over the years, I have encountered parents, caregivers, and professionals who share similar worries and aspirations. Below is a condensed list of suggested measures spanning the Government, the corporate sector, medical and professional bodies, and the community at large. It is my earnest hope that, together, we can begin addressing these concerns more effectively.

  1. The Government
  2. Right to Special Education

Just as basic education is recognised as a fundamental right for every Indian child, special education must be similarly enshrined for every child with specialneeds. Although legislation suchas the NationalTrust Act (1999) and the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act (2016) exist, implementation requires urgent reinforcement.

  • Integrated Schooling

Mainstream schools should make every effort to integrate children with special needs, wherever feasible, or set up parallel special-education systems within their institutions. Early, consistent exposure will help typical children better understand and accept their peers with special needs, and in turn, help those with special needs acclimatise to society.

  • Enhanced Special Schools and Infrastructure

The number and quality of special schools must be vastly improved, complete with residential facilities to support children and adults throughout their lives—from “womb to tomb.” Having a safe, nurturing environment that addresses varied and evolving needs is paramount.

  • The Corporate Sector
  • Job Reservations and CSR Initiatives

The existing job-reservation quota for people with disabilities in government services should be expanded to include those with intellectual disabilities. Although productivity in certain roles may be limited, such measures would significantly ease the burden on these individuals and their families. Alternatively, companies might allocate part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds to support individuals with special needs or the institutions that serve them.

  • Support for Employees with Special-Needs Children

Employers can dramatically enhance productivity by recognising the additional challenges parents face. Providing sponsored therapies, educational assistance, and access to residential services for employees’ children with special needs could offer relief to countless families.

  • Parenting Workshops

Corporate-sponsored workshops on managing the stress and complexities of raising children with special needs would benefit employees and potentially the wider community. Government health departments could extend similar workshops in the unorganised sector.

3. Medical and Professional Support

  1. Counselling and Psycho-Social Services

Parents of children with special needs often require professional guidance—psychological, financial, and emotional—yet affordable, regulated counselling services remain sparse outside major cities. This gap must be bridged if families are to secure a better future for their children and themselves.

  • Medical Research and Prevention

The medical community must invest in more robust research aimed at preventing or reducing the incidence of certain disabilities. Advances in genetics could potentially ensure fewer children are born with preventable impairments, although such scientific progress should always be pursued with caution and ethical considerations.

4. The Role of the Community

  1. Parent Support Groups

While such groups are prevalent abroad, they are conspicuously rare in India. Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) could facilitate these networks, allowing parents to share experiences, resources, and guidance.

  • Attitudinal Shift

Society at large must adopt a more inclusive outlook. Rather than pity, children with special needs deserve respect and acceptance. Integrating them into community events and daily life from an early age fosters understanding and compassion.

  • Trained Care Professionals

The scarcity of skilled caregivers—nurses, domestic helpers, and others trained to work with special-needs individuals—is a pressing concern. Organisations should offer education and certification programmes to build a workforce of compassionate, capable helpers who see this work as both a profession and a calling.

  • Media Engagement

Media platforms can be powerful agents for change. Regular coverage and discussions of special-needs issues would raise public awareness, encourage empathy, and shine a spotlight on policy gaps and success stories alike.

The Most Urgent Issue: Long-Term Care

The question that troubles every parent of a child with special needs is: What happens when I am no longer here to care for them? It is imperative that the Government, NGOs, and private organisations collaborate to establish residential and day-care facilities that cater to the long-term welfare of adults with special needs.

Whether for short-term respite or permanent care, such homes would offer stability and peace of mind for families. In essence, India requires the equivalent of“old-age homes” specifically designed for this community—a place where theyare not merely housed but meaningfully engaged, protected, and valued.

A Hopeful Vision

Addressing these challenges calls for coordinated efforts from all sectors of society. While there is undoubtedly much work to be done, raising awareness is the first step towards finding lasting solutions. I sincerely hope that, in time, each concern outlined here will be addressed in depth, easing the burden on individuals with special needs and their families. Ultimately, the measure of a society’s progress lies in its capacity for empathy, inclusivity, and care for those most in need-and it is past time that we rise to this task.

Dr. Susan Joseph | “I’m Possible”: The Life Story of Dr. Susan Joseph; A Woman Who Chose Service Over Self | Global TV

Global Indian Families

Grace Under Pressure: The Unshakable Journey of Dr. Susan Joseph | the inspiring story of a woman who refused to give up, no matter the odds.

By NV Paulose, Chairman, Global TV +91 98441 82044

People in the world often seek comfort, recognition, and self-fulfillment. There are but many souls who quietly redefine what it means to live for others. I had the privilege of meeting such a woman; a woman of humility, humanity, simplicity, dignity, integrity, and unconditional love. Her life story is worth telling; nay, it’s worth celebrating.

Raised in this blend of discipline and dignity, Susan was gifted in studies, raised in the Christian faith, and active in her church choir. But there was something different about her spirituality; an inexplicable pull toward deeper prayer, especially the Catholic tradition of the Way of the Cross. As a child, she would listen with reverence to these prayers from across the compound wall, yearning to be part of them.

Dr. Susan Joseph was born the youngest of seven children; three elder brothers and three elder sisters, in a respectable, well-established family. Her father, Dr. K.M. Mathew, came from a liberal background, while her mother, Sosamma Mathew, represented a more orthodox tradition. A brilliant woman in her own right, Sosamma had been a classmate of India’s first woman judge, Anna Chandy, and came from a family known for its judicial legacy. Her brother, C.S. Thomas, retired as a judge too.

Her childhood act of giving away her lunch to hungry children who fought dogs for scraps may sound small, but it reveals the spirit that would guide her whole life. Even as a teenager, she was already living a life of sacrifice; quietly, consistently, and without ever seeking applause.

She never wished for marriage. Her heart longed to build an orphanage, to create a self-sustaining sanctuary for the forgotten, and to live a life devoted to those on the margins. But destiny, dressed in the quiet pressures of family expectations, gently altered her course.

A proposal arrived from a Catholic family. It wasn’t the heritage or tradition that moved her; it was him. Something about his quiet strength, the grace in his humility, and the warmth of the village that shaped him stirred her spirit. In that still moment of clarity, she made her choice: “If I am to marry,” she thought, “let it be this man; not for comfort or praise, but because I wish to live where I am needed most.”

And so began a marriage not of convenience, but of conviction.

Her career blossomed in Goa, where she moved in 1984. She joined a Commerce College as a part-time lecturer in Economics, became a full-time teacher in two years, and eventually spent over three decades shaping the lives of her students. Her credentials include a Ph.D., B.Ed., authorship of textbooks, and training teachers as a Master Trainer.

She led workshops, conducted counselling sessions, and inspired thousands across the country. But her true impact lies not in her titles; it lies in her touch. She gave more than she received, every single day. She conducted sessions on adolescent issues, guided confused youth, counseled broken families, and brought healing into classrooms.
She believed in learning from everyone; animals, trees, even ants. She saw lessons in nature that most of us overlook.

After taking VRS in 2015, when most look to rest, she took up her most challenging mission yet; teaching in a tribal region in Kalahandi, Odisha. There, amidst poverty and backwardness, she taught children English, Social Studies, and Mathematics. She didn’t just teach them to read and write; she taught them to speak, present, and believe in themselves.

Seeing her students confidently compere an event was, in her own words, one of the proudest moments of her life. Her efforts in service earned her many awards; national and international. As a Global Leader of the World Malayalee Council, she has represented India across the globe, from the United States and Switzerland to Israel and Jordan. But for her, the real reward was always the smile of a child, the gratitude of a parent, or the quiet strength of a prisoner during a rehabilitation camp.

Yes, she even worked with prisoners. As an NSS Officer, she once led her team to Penugonda Jail in Andhra Pradesh. Initially met with hostility, she and her students melted the prisoners’ hearts through performances, poetry, and compassion. They left behind not just songs but hope; and were named national champions for it.

On the family front, her faith was again tested. After the birth of her first child, she couldn’t conceive for eight years. A tumor during her next pregnancy led doctors to recommend abortion. Even her husband begged her to consider it. But her unwavering belief that “God will take care of it” prevailed. That child is now a successful dental surgeon. A miracle wrapped in courage and faith, she became her living testimony.

Her personal prayer life is another story in itself. She remembers, as a child, overhearing her mother cry during dawn prayers; mentioning every family member by name. That tearful prayer session, she says, is where she first learned the power of intercession.

Later in life, around age 15, she experienced something mystical; a glowing figure appeared near her bed and said, “I need you, my child.” That moment confirmed her lifelong mission. And she never wavered.

Dr. Susan Joseph is a woman of many roles; teacher, counselor, mentor, wife, mother, author, speaker, trainer, and friend. She’s known to be a good host, a wonderful cook, and an ever-enthusiastic motivator. But most of all, she’s known for her unwavering faith and limitless compassion. As they say, the word “impossible” does not exist in Susan’s dictionary or life. Just read the word again: “I’m possible.” And truly, her life is a testimony to that.

ഇന്ത്യയിലെ ജനസംഖ്യ ദിനം പ്രതി വർദ്ധിച്ചുകൊണ്ടിരിയ്ക്കുമ്പോഴും, അതിനൊപ്പം ഭക്ഷ്യസുരക്ഷയ്ക്കുള്ള ആവശ്യകതയും ഉയരുന്നു. ഇതിൻ്റെ പശ്ചാത്തലത്തിൽ കൃഷിയും കർഷകരും കേന്ദ്ര ബിന്ദുവായി മാറുന്നു.

പരിസ്ഥിതിയുടെ നിലനില്പിനായി വന്യജീവികളെയും സംരക്ഷിക്കേണ്ടത് അത്യാവശ്യമാണ്. ഈ രണ്ട് മേഖലകളും പരസ്പര വിരുദ്ധങ്ങളാകാതെ, പരസ്പരം യോജിപ്പിച്ച് രാജ്യവികസനത്തിനായി മുന്നേറേണ്ടതാണ്.

കൃഷിയുടെയും കർഷകരുടെയും അനിവാര്യത

ഭക്ഷ്യസുരക്ഷയ്ക്കും രാജ്യത്തിൻ്റെ വികസനത്തിനും അടിസ്ഥാനഘടകമാണ് കൃഷി. രാജ്യത്തിൻ്റെ 50%ൽ അധികം ജനങ്ങൾ കാർഷിക മേഖലയുമായി ബന്ധപ്പെട്ടാണ് ജീവിക്കുന്നത്. കൃഷിയുടെ ഉപേക്ഷ ഗ്രാമീണ സാമ്പത്തിക വ്യവസ്ഥ തകർക്കും. കൃഷിക്ഷേമം ഉയരുന്ന പക്ഷം നഗരങ്ങൾക്കുള്ള സമ്മർദ്ദം കുറയും, കുടിയേറ്റം കുറയും.

വന്യമൃഗങ്ങളും പരിസ്ഥിതിയും

വന്യമൃഗങ്ങൾ ഒരുകൂട്ടായ സുസ്ഥിര പരിസ്ഥിതിയുടെയും ജൈവവൈവിധ്യത്തിൻ്റെയും ഭാഗമാണ്. വനങ്ങൾ ജലസേചനത്തിനും മണ്ണ് സംരക്ഷണത്തിനും കാലാവസ്ഥ നിയന്ത്രണത്തിനും സഹായിക്കുന്നു. വനങ്ങൾ ഇല്ലാതെ കൃഷിക്ക് അനുകൂലമായ കാലാവസ്ഥ നിലനിൽക്കില്ല.

വന്യജീവി സംരക്ഷണം, ടൂറിസം, ശാസ്ത്രീയ ഗവേഷണ മേഖലകൾ എന്നിവയുമായി ബന്ധപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു.

വ്യവസ്ഥിതമായ സംരക്ഷണവും കർഷകസംരക്ഷണവും

ഇതൊരു വന്യമൃഗങ്ങൾക്കെതിരായോ കർഷകരെതിരായോ ഉള്ള പോരാട്ടമല്ല. മറിച്ച്, ഏകോപിതമായ വികസനം ലക്ഷ്യമാക്കുന്ന സമതുലിത സമീപനം ആവശ്യമാണ്. വനമേഖലകളുടെ പുനരുദ്ധാരണം എന്നതിനു പുറമേ, കർഷക ഭൂമികളുടെയും അവകാശങ്ങളുടെയും സംരക്ഷണം ആവശ്യമാണ്.

മനുഷ്യ-വന്യമൃഗ സംഘർഷം ഒഴിവാക്കാൻ സാങ്കേതിക വിദ്യകളും, അനുയോജ്യമായ നയങ്ങളും ഉപയോഗിക്കണം. കൃഷിക്ക് അനുയോജ്യമായ ഭൂമിക്ക് അതിൻ്റെ അവകാശം ഉറപ്പാക്കുമ്പോൾ, വനങ്ങൾക്ക് അതിൻ്റെതായ പരിധിയും നിലനില്ക്കണം.

അടിക്കുപ്പ്

നമ്മുടെ രാജ്യത്തിന് ആവശ്യമുള്ളത് വന്യമൃഗങ്ങളെയും കൃഷിക്കാരെയും സംരക്ഷിക്കുന്ന സമവായനയം ആണ്. രണ്ടും നമ്മുടേതായ ഭാവിയെ രൂപപ്പെടുത്തുന്ന അനിവാര്യ ഘടകങ്ങളാണ്. പ്രകൃതിയും മനുഷ്യനും കൈകോർത്തുനിൽക്കുന്ന നാളെയാണ് നമ്മുടെ ലക്ഷ്യം

Irity is a beautiful Greenland in the mist-covered highlands of Northern Kerala; the God’s Own Country. Here, in this region, winding rivers kiss ancient forests and hilltops hold stories older than time. We are setting a new media ground for a groundbreaking  initiative which is generally named a Social Media Centre. It is not a business, It is not a building. It is not a media house. It is a movement.

Social Media Cente (SMC) at Iritty Region is a breathtaking confluence of heritage, nature, and hope. Iritty is not just a town; it is a threshold between the Western Ghats and the world.

Nestled in the foothills of Kerala’s most scenic highlands, the region offers seamless access to several vibrant and soul-stirring destinations: Kannur International Airport is 16 km closer. Aralam Wildlife Sanctuary is just 10 km away. Pazhassi Dam is12 km away and Kottiyoor Temple is just 25 km. International destinations like Coorg is 30 km, Wayanad is 40 km and Mysore is 120 km away from the designated Social Media Centre.

Ownership, Membership & Mentorship

The total cost of the project is divided into 60 equal ownership units, meaning each unit represents an equal share of facilities in the project. These units can be acquired by individuals, teams, or organizations, making them co-owners. There is a clear distinction between the capital cost and the operational costs.

People who are enthused by the vision of the centre can opt for Life Membership with a one-time payment which usually is equal to one tenth of a Unit Ownership Price. Others can opt for Annual Membership; one tenth of a Life Membership, or a Career Membership; one tenth of an Annual Membership.

Annual Membership and Career Membership are renewable yearly for those who want flexible involvement without long-term commitment.

Mentorship & Creative Management

A select group of Mentors (experienced professionals) will guide the project from inception throughout the growing streams with an idea of replication of the model with benefits shared with the performing members and teams.

Mentors need not necessarily own units but eventually earn ownership with the growth that they are able to achieve with exceptional governance and innovation. Mentors may receive perks (revenue share, recognition) periodically.

New Model for Action-Driven Leadership

The traditional way of working is control based. Ideas get trapped in endless meetings, diluted by debates, and strangled by scepticism. Progress depends on convincing the unconvinced, pleasing the passive, and backdoor arrangements.

Energy is wasted on defending visions rather than building them. Onlookers feel entitled to critique without contributing, while doers are held back by fear of failure or rejection. This is the old world of permission-based progress.

Now imagine a different way. An idea is presented; not for approval, but for allies. Those who believe in it step forward, forming a core team with full autonomy over execution. No bystanders are allowed to interfere; only those invested in the work in time or kind shape its path. Incentives; financial, reputational, or creative are announced and given. The focus shifts from “Why can’t we?” to “Here’s how we will.” This is the Appreciative Inquiry Leadership Model. It is a system where momentum belongs to the motivated, and progress is measured in doing.

The difference is stark. Traditional models breed hesitation; this model thrives on voluntary commitment. Instead of draining energy in meetings, teams channel it into prototypes, pilots, and proofs of concept. Critics? Irrelevant; unless they roll up their sleeves. Failure? A lesson, not a crime. Speed? Unhindered. This isn’t just a new method; it’s a renewed model against stagnation. The question is: Are you ready to build? Then, come forward and discuss your stake and share.

This initiative is in the Iritty Region, but it doesn’t end here.

A MINI SMC MODEL

With pristine landscapes and a quietly converging population, Iritty is emerging as a silent powerhouse of untapped creative and ecological potential. The serenity of nature, the richness of local tradition, and the ease of modern connectivity make Iritty a perfect location for a human centric positive media centre; where storytelling, reflection, and media innovation grow together.

You can adapt and implement a similar model wherever you are. Whether in the mountains of the north or the coasts of the south, the vision of building meaningful, media-driven, community-connected spaces is universal.

Global TV plays the role of a connecting link between visionaries and action leaders; bridging dreams and implementation. If you are inspired to start such a centre in your region, we will support you with insights, resources, and access to a pool of professional mentors across diverse domains. Let your place be the next.

We are building a Social Media Centre that brings together:

  • Local youth who want to learn, create, and lead
  • Nature lovers who wish to tell stories that preserve, not pollute
  • Elders and communities who carry traditions and heritage
  • Tech enablers who wish to connect the unseen Village in the Global Map

This centre is created with shared ownership, purpose-driven leadership, and a zero-salary model.

The Structure and Purpose

The Centre will operate in a 5-floor architectural setup, designed for:

Ground Floor:

  • Reception + Visitor Lounge
  • Multi Purpose Studio Hall
  • Editing Suites
  • Cafeteria with Open Discussion Corners

First Floor:
