Dhobi, a small village located in the interiors of Rehli block with 152 household situated in 1.5 km of area. It is scatter into 3 tolas due to caste discrimination; were neither electricity nor irrigation sources of agriculture could be found was a mystery. It was this mystery that needed to be brought to the light. Many a efforts had been shatered and dreamz of 200 farmers to attain their livelihood from agriculture through electicity means broken down.
Initially when Harit Prayas introduced itself in dhovi, people over there were least interested in its activities. Forming any mahila mandals (MM) & Farmers Club (FC) seems to be impossible. But it was the first attempt and the regular visit of the Harit Prayas staff that made this dark age of the village come to the light. With a ray of hope shining for the last month in the eyes of many farmers and village women, we made this ray to shine in the form of MM and FCs. This effort was an attempt to gather the voice of the voiceless, bringing light to the lightless.
Daily field visit by the Harit Prayas staff and struggling with the villager’s way of dealing with things we have made the best way for the many of the deprived to get to know their value and statutes of lives. To join these people and to make a people led approach to the issues in the government authorities was the first step taken towards success taken in the Gram Sabha oganized on 15th august 2011. HARIT PRAYAS cluster coordinator Mr. Hari was also present and motivated village panchayat community about the importance and efforts of CBOs in handelling the village issues.
With the effort of village Mahila mandalas and farmers Club being formed under the HARIT PRAYAS project village community knock the door of electricity department and the to voice of togetherness has worked and villagers got a green signal from the authorities of installing a electricity transfarmer for Dhobi village. This effort has made the villagers to realize what they can do.
