My name is Ramkunwar Bharti. I am calling from Nawgarh block of Chandauli district in UP. It is a forest area where dalits and adivasis live. Rainfall is not good hear and people are forced to migrate in search of work. NREGA has not been able to stop that. Most of the schools are run by single para teachers who are also often absent. Children dont get any education apart from mid-day meal. These situations must change. For more Bharti Ji is at 09450245057
