Rich finishing stones by quarrying, None will be left for poor in days to come...
Raju Kumar from Chatra district in Jharkhand says there are so many creshers in use these days in the district that they are finishing all the stones in the area. These creshers provide stone to rich but a day is coming when no stone will be left for the poor. This needs to be changed. For more Raju can be reached at 07277092371

Development project ponds have no water but old Zamindari ones have, why?
Raju Kumar from Chatra district of Jharkhand says in my village all the new ponds dug by various developmental schemes in last few years are already dry after monsoon, but the old ponds dug during zamindari period hold lots of water where fishing is also going on. Some say water level is going down due to global warning but then do the zamindari ponds are not affected by that? It is a point worth thinking about our development and the loot associated with that. For more Raju can be reached at 09430313721

Thanks to NREGA well, we get water round the year, also doing irrigation...
My name is Raju Akela. I am calling from Salaiyadand tola of Kasari panchayat in Semaria block of Chatra district in Jharkhand. I want to tell you that we got one well thanks to NREGA that has changed the life of villagers. In our village there are 80 houses and 500 people. All the other wells in village dry during summer but this well is giving water all around and people are using this water for irrigating their crop also. If we can have 3/4 more such wells the fate of the village will change. For more Raju Ji can be reached at 09693356601
