NV Paulose, Chairman, Global TV +91 98441 82044
World is running in wrong directions and the mainstream media is chasing them; We need to traverse a unique path; far away from the noise, towards meaningful engagement of people.
Are you a young mind flooded with information, yet starved for meaningful direction? Here is a brilliant movement gaining momentum in the class rooms and campuses. PLANT AIM is a collective co-mentoring campaign Launched by Global TV. Students and educators across schools and colleges can get the help of accomplished mentors to rediscover purpose, connection, and creativity within them and within their campuses and around.
What is PLANT AIM?
At its core, PLANT AIM is a model built on Appreciative Inquiry Media (AIM) engagement. It is designed to nurture strengths, foster collaboration, and amplify voices through real-life storytelling and promotion of team work, role creation and leadership.
Let’s break it down:
PLANT Stands For:
P – Promote your talents, your team, and your territory
L – Link with peers, mentors, and movements that matter
A – Appreciate people, opportunities, and local wisdom
N – Nurture your skills, your voice, and your responsibility
T – Transform your ideas into action, and your vision into value
AIM Stands For:
Appreciative Inquiry in Media; the use of storytelling, interviews, and digital tools to highlight what’s strong, not what’s wrong.
How Can Students Participate?
Participation begins with something simple yet symbolic; Give an Order for 100 PLANT AIM Lapel Pin, worn with pride by every student who joins a 5-member Media Team. Display of Lapel Pin says that the person welcomes and willing to talk to those who are interested to join the movement. These teams form the grassroots units of the movement, encouraging collaboration across classes, departments, and disciplines.
Each team is given two empowering tasks:
Identify and document the strengths of their peers and local community members helping individuals build clarity about their own potential and career path.
Conduct and publish interviews of successful people from their region using a four-question (Turning Points, Challenges, Success, Learnings) Appreciative Inquiry format (in-person or online) that uncovers turning points, victories, challenges, and life lessons.
This process is a media work; it’s personal growth, social contribution, and digital storytelling rolled into one.
Why It Matters
The world is overwhelmed by noise. PLANT AIM invites youth to be still, to observe, to connect, and to create. It’s not about chasing trends; it’s about rooting down into values, voices, and visions that matter.
This initiative offers:
- Practical media skills for the real world
- Character-building through peer appreciation
- A fresh way to combine technology with humanity
- A low-cost, high-impact model for community transformation
