four community halls, renovated and extended the 100 years old Lower
Primary School in the Panchayat, and provided it 200 saplings.I facilitated the formation of 70 SHgs, out of which 40 groups got a revolving
fund of Rs. 10,000/- and 20 groups got a loan worth Lakhs of rupees.I got 117 persons listed for government benefits under the Indira Awas Yojana
(IAY) and Pradhan Mantri Gramodaya Yojana (PMgY) to help up-grade their
homes. I facilitated the provision of 132 Old Age Pensions (OAPs), 10 widow
grants, and 15 tube wells to the marginalized in the community.
To protect the village community from attacks from wild elephant, I got a
Tongi-ghar (a sort of watch tower made of Bamboo and thatch) constructed
and I got two bus shelters made for bus passengers.
I am very concerned by the fact that women are not perceived as equals of men
in society and to top it, women themselves accept such subjugation without
any protest. Therefore, I have started working with various women groups for
their empowerment and to impart education. I am also the President of the
Morongi Block Elected Women Representatives Forum (BEWRF), a member of
Milanjyoti SHg and advisor to Sarawgaon Mahila Samiti and local National
Students Union of India (NSUI).
