Collective action- made it easy
Story of wolf tells us how a herd of wolves are able to hunt wild cows which are much more powerful than a single wolf. Same applies in our society when many people come together and accomplish a difficult work in an easy way. Our friend Sandeep has cited one example where villagers come together and rebuilt a ruined primary health center and I witnessed a similar incident during my fieldwork stay when villagers built an artificial pond in just three days for celebrating rituals of Chhath festival.

Even i have come across examples of building wells and ponds for community development work as a part of collective action.i completely agree with mainaz that by collective action we are able to perform the difficult task in an efficient and easy way also taking care of the time involved
in our fieldwork village, a meeting was organised by our NGO, for the betterment of the labour class, and various steps were suggested by the people themselves.The steps were also implemented with immediate effect.collective action made this difficult task,a lot easier.
