My name is Geetabai Rathia. I am Sarpanch of Pata village (Raigarh district Chhattisgarh). It was my dream to become sarpanch of my village and develop it. All tried to stop, even my husband. Villagers threatened me. They tried to bribe me. I had to sell paddy to fill up the form and I won. Today I don’t need any one’s help. I was not educated before now I have passed class 12. Today I am doing lots of development in my village and continue to do so. Geeta@09406033089
