In my earlier posts I narrated the story of Sanatan Tudu, tribal living in kutcha muddy house in Bonpara village of Ausgram1 block. While visiting watershed project sites on 21st February 2013 I met this young hard working man in his 40s. He told us that their family is not enlisted in BPL and MGNREGA works is the only source of family income, besides day labourer on others land. Family is landless and owns only homestead land where they live in kutcha house. During interactions, he demanded more works under MGNREGA and a house under IAY.
I am happy that after this visit Bdo Ausgram1 not only sanctioned Rs 1.65 Lakhs for pucca house under Geetanjali scheme to economically weaker sections but also constructed the house in record two months time.
Now, Sanatan and his family has a pucca house of their own. I visited them last week and found them quite happy. They got more works under MGNREGA after our intervention. Time bound specific intervention as per needs of tribal is required in all areas.
