some schools in the Panchayat called ‘Amar Parashali’, under the Education
guarantee Scheme, where children from all age groups could come to do a
crash course. These children are then later integrated into the mainstream
schools. I introduced nine such schools and appointed a teacher called Shisksa
Mitra in each of them. Seven of the schools are still running effectively.
We managed to get government grants for three Primary Schools, where each
school gets Rs. 24,000 per annum, and have ensured a government grant to
one High School in the Panchayat. Safe drinking water and proper sanitation
in each school was my concern, which was met with the help of the Public
Health Engineering Department and Panchayat Funds.
I also facilitated the construction and renovation of the road transport facilities
within the Panchayat. In the last five years, 28 roads (total length-more than
40 km) have been constructed in the Panchayat and out of these, two of the
important roads were constructed with sand and gravel. To save the roads
from damage (due to floods), I ensured proper drainage by making culverts
in strategic places to stop flooding. More than 60 such culverts have been
constructed.
I wish to contest elections in the next term for the post of a Block Level Ward
Member.
