Story of an adivasi man who loved his forest...

Santosh Tudu travels to a village in Bokaro district of Jharkhand and meets a person who loves forest. Govind Ram Tudu has been working on a piece of land near his village to develop it as a forest for all his life. Then some anti social elements burnt the forest and sold off the wood. Then Govt got involved and made him president of Forest protection committee. Govt wants to pay him half of the wages which he has refused. After that they have appointed a 65 year old deaf in his place. For more on the story Santosh can be reached on 09471756840
