Naresh Bunkar from Kabirdham district in Chhattisgarh says on 2nd December 2013 I had reported on Swara saying that there is no drinking water facility in school in Saitola of Bangar panchayat in Pandaria block. Officials have sent a report to capital Raipur saying there is a hand pump in Bangar school. I request all of you to please again speak to District Education officer at 09893095972 so that children in Saitola school can get a hand pump. Naresh@08720822286

My name is Santoshi Devi. I am from Ghurma Markundi in Robertsganj, Sonbhadra district UP. Displacement is a big issue for us. We used to have Govt school here but when JP cement company came here it not only bulldozed out crop and house, Govt school also got closed. JP private school needs Rs 1200. We adivasis dont have that much money and 10,000 of our children have turned into child labor and roaming around here and there. SantoshiJi@09450161801
