Raju Kumar from Chatra district in Jharkhand says his district is home to many Birhor primitive tribals. Govt is running special welfare schemes for Birhor from the days of independence but the situation of Birhors has not improved. The projects are run by insensitive officials and there is no political leadership in Birhors. Mainstream leaders are not interested in their development. This situation should change.

Raju Kumar from Chatra in Jharkhand is telling us about the Durga Puja celebration in his district. He says lakhs have been spend in each pandal and this way crores have been spent on this festival in this district. This looks all well but if you look at the poor people around then it looks all waste. It would have been better if these croses have been spent on welfare of the poor people rather than putting up lights and flags for festivities. For more Raju Ji can be reached at 09430313721

My name is Raju Kumar. I am calling from Chatra district of Jharkhand and want to tell you that due to no rain in last one month the paddy crop in the fields here have started getting spoiled.
