Yojana. I facilitated the construction of eight public toilets for my village and
have applied for the Nirmal gram Purskar. Another big job I helped with
was the construction of a School. I had to face lot of troubles due to party
politics while completing the school. A group, who had other stakes, alleged
the measurements were incorrect and began to force us to reconstruct the base.
I took a very neutral and wise stand. I got the school checked and certified by
the engineer from Panchayat Samiti in the presence of villagers and continued
the work. After this, I was deliberately kept away from the inauguration of
the school building, but the village apologized to me. Now I have approved a
grant for an additional classroom and have constructed a pathway leading to
school.
I held activities like an agro-fair and held health camps for my village. I have
successfully handled many political matters and controversies in the village.
The trainings I received have had a bid role to play in shaping the way my
personality is today. It is because of the strength of knowledge gained from
these trainings that I could cross check the corrupt bill submitted to my gram
Panchayat and refuse to sign it. I learnt to act diplomatically. Diplomacy is
most essential to the managing of a vast village and a heavily populated gram
Panchayat.
