Women Leaders in Village Panchayats

(Nandana) #1

four-lane road affecting a large number of people. The compensation amount
granted to them is much less than the actual cost of the land. In addition, it is
necessary to have the correct antecedents to be able to claim the compensation.
There are many families whose lands have been acquired but whose claims are
not being considered. I have given an application to the DM to provide fair
compensation and to keep the process of distribution very simple.


During the BPL survey, it was found that people did not reveal their true
income. It was my biggest responsibility to ensure the right families were
included in the list. During the process of selection of the Aanganwadi Sevika
and Sahayika, a few people tried to disrupt the process but I did not allow
that. I am also working for the empowerment of women.


I often spend my time looking after the development processes in the
Panchayat. I am not only involved in the implementation of Schemes, but also
work for the education of girls, women’s rights, and against domestic violence.
My biggest challenge is to maintain a balance between the Panchayat and my
home. Due to work pressure and involvement outside the home, my family
members have started complaining. However, I hope that everything will be
fine with time and I will be able to continue working with their support.
