Terna Co-Operative Mess-COE Osmanabad
या जेवण तयार आहे !
पण हे हॉटेल नाही.. ही आहे को-ऑपरेटिव्ह मेस !
विद्यार्थ्यांनी स्वत:साठी सुरू केलेली ती ही होस्टेलमधे.. आमचा नाराच आहे..
येथे घरच्यासारखे जेवण मिळेल, 'मेस'चे नाही !
कॉलेजला जायचं म्हटलं की, निश्चितच घरापासून दूर जावं लागतं. तिथे
हॉस्टेलला राहायचं नि मेसमध्ये जेवायचं ! मेसमधील जेवणाला घरच्या जेवणाची चव कधीच नसते. मेस शेवटी मेसचं !
अकरावी, बारावीची दोन वर्षे आणि त्यानंतर इंजिनिअरिंगमधील पहिली तीन वर्षे मेसमध्ये जेवण करून अगदी कंटाळा आला होता. मेसमध्ये जेवायला बसलं की, पहिल्यांदा घरच्या जेवणाची आठवण व्हायची. शेवटी मेसच्या जेवणाला कंटाळून आमच्या ग्रुपमध्ये (आमचा ग्रुप म्हणजे तेरणा इंजिनिअरिंग कॉलेज, उस्मानाबाद येथील सिनिअर हॉस्टेलमधील मुलंाचा ग्रुप) एक भन्नाट कल्पना सुचवली. ती म्हणजे सर्व मुलांनी मिळून एक को-ऑपरेटिव्ह मेस सुरू करायची. को-ऑपरेटिव्ह मेसची कल्पना अगदी पक्की झाली. कॉलेजमध्ये प्रस्ताव मांडला. बऱ्याच अडचणींवर मात करून आम्ही कॉलेजकडून मान्यता मिळवली. आमच्या हॉस्टेलच्या शेजारीच मेससाठी जागा होती. एक मोठा हॉल व जोडूनच किचन होते. आम्ही सर्व मुलांनी व हॉस्टेलच्या कर्मचाऱ्यांनी मिळून ती जागा स्वच्छ केली. कॉलेजमार्फत आवश्यक मदत आम्ही मिळवली. टेबल, खुर्च्या, गॅस शेगडी व इतर आवश्यक सर्व सामान कॉलेजने पुरविले.
होस्टेलमध्ये एकूण अडीचशे विद्यार्थी होते. पन्नास विद्यार्थी मेससाठी घेण्याची परवानगी होती. आमचा वीस-पंचवीस जणांचा ग्रुप आधीच तयार होता. पण त्यानंतर मुले मिळेनात. कारण त्यांना असं वाटत असावं की, ही मेस काही चालणार नाही, लगेच बंद पडेल. खूप विनवण्या करून, कसे तरी पन्नास विद्यार्थी जमवले आणि तो दिवस उजाडला...!१५ ऑगस्ट २००९. हाच तो दिवस ! खूप थाटामाटात या दिवशी तेरणा को-ऑपरेटिव्ह मेसचं उदघाटन झालं. चेअरमन, खजिनदार, बॉडी मेंबर ठरले. दहा-दहा मुलांचे पाच ग्रुप ठरविण्यात आले. नियम तयार केले, स्वयंपाकासाठी दोन महिला होत्या आणि एकदाची झाली मेस सुरू... प्रत्येक आठवड्याचे कामकाज एकेका ग्रुपकडे दिले होते. आवश्यक भाजीपाला व किरणा हे त्या त्या आठवड्याच्या ग्रुपने आणायचे. प्रत्येक मुलावर एक विशिष्ट जबाबदारी सोपवण्यात आली होती.

तब्बल दोन सेमेस्टर आम्ही ही मेस कसल्याही तक्रारीशिवाय चालवली. कधीच कुठल्याही प्रकारची मोठी अडचण आली नाही. आमच्या या प्रयत्नात आम्हाला अपेक्षेपेक्षा जास्त यश मिळालं होतं. कमी पैशात दर्जेदार जेवण आम्हाला मिळत होतं. सर्व अडचणींवर आम्ही मात केली. कारण एकचं होतं. आमच्या ग्रुपची एकता आणि समजूतदारपणा ! आमच्यातील एकता कधीच दुभंगली नाही. आता तर पूर्ण हॉस्टेलमधील मुले मेसचे मेंबर होण्यास उत्सुक आहेत, नव्हे, मागे लागलेत.
या प्रयत्नातून आम्ही बरेच काही शिकलो. आम्ही प्रत्यक्षात बाजारात उतरलो.बाजारभाव, व्यवहार, व्यवस्थापन कळालं. व्यवसाय हा नेमका कसा असतो त्याची प्रत्यक्ष अनुभूती आली. बस्स ! आणखी काय पाहिजे?
तुम्हीही तुमच्या होस्टेलच्या मेसमध्ये जेवण करून बोअर झाला असाल, तर अशीच एखादी को-ऑपरेटिव्ह मेस सुरू करायला काही हरकत नाही ! बघा, मजा येईल! अनुभव मिळेल तो वेगळाच !

About Osmanabad:-
Osmanabad district is located in the southern part of the state of Maharashtra. Most of the area of the district is surrounded by Small Mountain called "Balaghat". Bhoom, Washi, Kalamb, Osmanabad & Tuljapur Tahsil lie in the range of this Balaghat Mountain. The district is surrounded by Solapur to the south-east, Ahmednagar to the North-West, Beed to the North, Latur district to the East and Bidar & Gulbarga districts of Karnataka to the South.
Osmanabad along with the other four districts of the Marathwada region was formerly a part of the Nizam’s State. After India got its freedom in 1947 the reorganisation of various princely states was carried out. In 1956 the Marathwada region was included in the then Bombay State into Maharashtra and Gujarat. In 1960, Osmanabad along with the other districts of Marathwada became an integral part of Maharashtra. Today Osmanabad is a full fledged district of Maharashtra playing significant role in various aspects of the state.

DHARASHIV CAVES:-
________________________________________
The dharashiv caves are situated 8 km away from Osmanabad city in Balaghat Mountains.
There are total 7 caves in the Balaghat Mountain lane.
The first cave is without any statue with small open space .
The second cave consists of a statue with Artistic work on right side of statue.
The art work is of gandharva era.
The fourth cave is with open space without any statue inside.
The statue in the sixth cave is damaged while the seventh cave has no statue
These caves were originally Buddhist, but were later converted into monuments of the Jain religion and fresh caves were also excavated nearby.
There are some more Buddhist caves excavated in the hills, about 8 miles from Dharashiva.
The earlier of them are referred by Burgess to the middle of the 7th century A. D. Cave No. II is modeled on the plan of the Vakataka caves at Ajanta. It has a central hall measuring 80 feet by 80 feet, with 14 cells for the residence of the Bhiksus and garbhagraha with a colossal image of the Buddha in Padmasana.
Another cave (No. III) has a hall of 59’ by 59’, closely resembling Cave No I.
Later some Jain caves (No. V and VI) were excavated on the same hill. They are described in the Prakrt work Karakandacariu as excavated by the king Karakanda, who came to know about the earlier caves from the prince Siva of Terapura (Tagara).
The Karakandacariu is a work of the 11th century A. D. so these later caves were probably excavated in the 9th or 10th century A. D. during the age of Rastrakutas.
Khvaja Samsuddin dargah:-
The other object of interest is the dargah of Khvaja Samsuddin at which a largely attended urus is held in the month of Rajab.

The main edifice of solid masonry crowned with a huge vaulted dome is 12.19 x 12.19 metres (40' x 40') and contains two tombs one of which is that of Samsuddin.
It has an arch-shaped entrance with similar arches on the other three sides also. The top corners are also adorned with minars. Within the same compound and exactly opposite Samsuddin's dargah is the tomb of his son, Tajuddin, housed under a canopy of twelve columns. Its top is also decorated with minars, but of smaller size. The dargah looks majestic and is an excellent specimen of mediaeval Muhammedan sculpture.
