The determination to stop migration has made village head Anil Kumar Gupta a ‘role model’. The colorful streets, CCTV cameras and modern facilities here are defeating the cities. Honored by the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister, this Panchayat has now become an example for the country.
To change the image of the village, the village head has got colorful interlocking done on 54 roads. The special thing is that these roads have been named after great men and elders. Paved drains and well-built roads have given the village an organized and beautiful urban look.
This village is very strict in terms of cleanliness. There are five community toilets along with a private toilet in every house. Here, sweepers sweep the streets daily, and fancy dustbins placed at various places ensure that filth is not visible anywhere.
More than 1000 saplings have been planted to keep the village green. With the inspiration of Pradhan, farmers have also planted more than 4000 poplar trees. This is not only purifying the environment, but also developing sources of additional income for the farmers in future.
