Collective action is an essential instrument for coming together of a group of people to achieve a given goal for the betterment of the society as a whole . one such instance is cited below.
This is example from Malpur village in Bihar where there was absence of the health care facility due to the absence of infrastructure . The building was in a very bad condition in which the health care was impossible. T people from the village needed to visit the block hospital or the district headquarters for treatment. Thus the villagers decided to take a collective action when no help came from government to renovate the building. So capital was collected from every household of the village for the building material. Labor from among the villagers reduced the cost for the renovation. Finally the building was renovated in four month time and continuous medical facility became available to the villagers. So in case of emergency like snake bite primary first aid can be made available quickly thus saving precious life .
