** Best Panchayat **

Oct 10, 2007

Magazine "Outlook" has completed 12 years. The 12th year annual issue had some interesting articles... in fact, they have put together 12 best articles, 12 best cartoons, etc, etc...

One of the interesting one....

A village in Rajasthan has been voted as the best Panchayat by the magazine and an article written about that village. A young lady (may be in her 40s) is the sarpanch of the village and its really astonishing to see what dynamic leadership can do (atleast as projected by the article). The collective efforts of the people too has been highlighted and the way the village panchayat has given importance to self sustainment, education, eco balance are something unheard of in any of our villages. The lady has a draft plan, says the magazine, that not even any of our metros have. The planned approach and the way she fights with the govt organisation in getting the plans implemented speaks volumes about her perseverance. Its good to read such positive articles about a village and about an individual.
