something from my fieldwork

Hello Friends,
In December i posted one blog in which i told about how villagers from my village Dandkala were able to collectively work towards the restoration of electricity in the our village. We provided the motivation to villagers and forwarded the application to Electricity board of Rajasthan with the help of our host organisation URMUL. when we left the village the electricity meters got installed and now just 10 days back when i called my NGO to know about electricity status i received one of the best news of my life ie now electricity has come in the village. Really a great satisfying moment and it reinforced my belief that villagers just need facilitators.

dear amit, congrates it was good news for all of us. but, this was the thing that villagers can do earlier....

as we studied their is a need of actor and the MLA of that area was not a real repersentative of area....So, the second collective action can be through out these kind of politician....
