HARIT PRAYAS empower community with RTI ( Right to Information Act) @Chatarpur


It is a success story of the poor and the marginalized farmer named Mr. Tej Ram Aiharwal in the village of Mothigad Gram Panchayat. In the beginning of the project, he did not cooperate with HARIT PRAYAS Team. By the continuous request of our team, he began to attend in the meetings which are arranged for farmers.  Gradually, he became an active member in the group and he recently elected as president of the Kissan Club of Mothigad. One day, he participated in the training programme on govt. scheme especially about Kapil Dhara Koop Nirman programme. After the training he applied for the scheme and he got approval and started the work- digging well for improving the irrigation- without any delay. Unfortunately, the work was stopped due to malpractice of the govt. officers and other high caste people.  He discussed his issues in the Kissan Club meetings and our team conveyrd him the power of RTI. In that spot, he wrote an application under RTI and it was submitted to Panchayat Secretary. Secretary visited the area and ordered to restart the work in April.  90 % of the work of well is completed in the reporting period. Now he became a real hero in his village.
