My name is Manoj Kumar Yadav. I am calling from Chaki village in Ramchandrapaur block of Balrampur district in Chhattisgarh. We have electricity in our village but 50 houses in my part of village have no electricity. There are couple of such areas where people live in dark. Children can not study at night because it is difficult to get kerosene in ration shops. I request you to please call our collector Mr Avnish Sharan@8462900200 to help us from 2 paras who are suffering for lack of electricity. Manoj@8435316006

Bhan Sahu is visiting Livelihood college, a skill development center in Bijapur district in Chhattisgarh where she meets Bina Kartam an adivasi girl from heavily Naxal affected Usur area of district. She tells she has come for 3 months to learn sewing and is happy with arrangements. After going back she would like to work as a tailor in her village to support her family. Bhan Sahu says we should ensure that other girls like Bina should also get such opportunity to stand on their own feet. Bhan@9406033089

Whenever you visit a Govt office in Blocks, Tehsils or districts the toilets there are often dirty. Many a times there is no water in those office toilets. These days officers are visiting Gram sabhas under Gram Uday program and are lecturing villagers about cleanliness which is good but sometimes they are using quite derogatory language which can be avoided. These things must be told to villagers but it will be better if this cleanliness drive first starts from government offices in small places. Shivanand@7869992139
