Introduction

About the Community

• Geographical Location: Bangro Ki Dhani,a village situated 3 km interior to the Jaipur – Delhi Highway in Gram Panchayat Dhand, Block Amer, Dist. Jaipur . There is migration of local people due to lack of employment opportunities.

• Cultural Background: A village with the of population of Meena community with a progressive thought and give importance to the education. People mainly depends on Agriculture and Labor work in NREGS or migrating to the other places.

• Role of Satya Bharti School in the Village: A tremendous work done by the Satya Bharti School from the last two years, encouraged girl child enrollment and retention. Enrollment of 106 students from the very small catchment area and in spite of the presence of other private schools. People now understands the importance of education and dignity of women in the society.

• Participation in ‘Design for Giving’ School Contest: Near about all the community members participated in the campaign to be a part of this revolution. There was unexpected response from the community, all are supported us and the appreciated and encouraged the students too much.

There is storage of water either it is water place or any other place by which there is a spreading of contaminated water affecting the surrounding atmosphere. No one want to take the initiative to resist such kind of behavior of people and create the environment which is hygienic and safe to get rid from the communicable and other health hazards without not any delay.

We ‘Felt’:

To organize a campaign which provoke the people to take initiative for change which is chronic and no body wants to think about it. The people will come forefront and take the whole responsibility on their own shoulders by following each other. To motivate and encourage each other for the cause and be aware of healthy and hygienic practices and transmit such behavior to their young ones and for the next generation. The people will organize and work in a group.
