Adharshila - the school

There are winds of change at Kohra

"After generations of apathy, there are sudden moves of development across the village," the villagers tell us this. It is also visible to anyone who ventures there. Two huge changes are taking place currently (and we are not suggesting that we brought about these changes, although we have been campaigning for the same with the right authorities.)

1. The main street of the village is being re-laid. And this time with RCC Concrete. The "on road" drainage has been changed to drains on the side of the road. (refer to the pics uploaded in this blog). This might appear to be simple to most folks around the world, however, for Kohra - this is the biggest thing happening this decade or more.

2. We might get electricity to the village - finally !! We are hoping that we will be successful within the next 30 days or so. SSMF met up the local officials and persuaded them to set-up a Bijli (electricity) Camp in Kohra. The camp is to be set-up on the 18th of March. We have also worked with a number of persons across the village to access the desire to have electricity in their houses.

We are hopeful that we would see this huge development taking place in the next 30 days or so. So by the time Adharshila welcomes it's 1st student, there would be light in most houses.
