My name is Santosh Kumar Kol. I am calling from Champagarh village in Jaba block of Rewa district in Madhya Pradesh. Around 400 dalits and adivasis live in our village. Our village is not connected to road so in emergency no ambulance can reach us. We have no electricity from March because electricity dept has sent us bills of 40,000 each for our single bulb connection. We request you to please call Collector@9425903973 to help us get electricity back and a connecting road. Kol@8085932876

ग्राम-समीज,ब्लॉक- आनंदपुर, जिला-पश्चिम सिंहभूम, झारखण्ड से बसंती दास एक कविता सुना रही हैं:
मन करता है सूरज बनकर, आसमान में दौड़ लगाऊं
मन करता है चंदा बनकर, सब तारों पर अकड़ दिखाऊं
मन करता है बाबा बनकर, घर में होश जमाऊं
मन करता हैं पापा बनकर, मैं भी अपनी मूंछ बढाऊं
मन करता हैं तितली बनकर, दूर-दूर उड़ता जाऊं
मन करता है कोयल बनकर, मीठे-मीठे बोल सुनाऊं
मन करता है चिड़िया बनकर, चीं-चीं-चीं शोर मचाऊं
मन करता है चरखी लेकर, पीला-लाल पतंग उडाऊं
