Though the village is chosen as an Ambedkar village but they have no roads. For drinking water they are dependent on ponds and wells. The ration they need to go 5 kms away and they have no idea about asking for work in NREGA so many are migrating to cities in search of work. For more Shankar ji can be reached at 09838358532

Shankar Rawani from Jharkhand says when NREGA law was passed we had hoped that now villagers will not have to migrate to cities in search of work.

It has become source of income for corrupt officials and it is a curse for villagers, he alleges. For more Shankar ji can be reached at 09234461629
