  • Villagers say now they know how to get work done, the one on a bridge (right) has begun

    On Republic Day last year, the villagers wailed in front of the pictures of Mahatma Gandhi and Subhash Chandra Bose. The unique protest brought officials to the village. But all it yielded was a survey and a plan. That was when the villagers were told about the RTI. “We have won the first round of our battle. With this weapon of RTI in hand, we will get everything done in our village without begging in front of anyone,” said Ram Awatar, a villager who along with others have formed an action group called Chingari.
