ग्राम-उल्भा, पंचायत-आग्रिम, तहसील-कोमना, जिला-नुआपाड़ा, ओडिशा के पूर्ण चन्द्र सोनाली ओड़िया में एक गीत गा रहे हैं. गीत के माध्यम से यह कहा जा रहा है कि- हमारी धरती बहुत ममतामयी है, यहाँ गंगा-जमुना जैसी नदियां बहती हैं और हजारों-लाखों लोग धर्म और रीति रिवाजों को मानने वाले हैं:
जेवो माटी रे बहे रे गंगा, सेही आकाशे ओडे तिरंगा-
ममतामयी शांतिमयी शक्तिमयी भारत-
जहार गिरी चरण चूमे, धरौ न जाए रे गीतम-
नीड सश्य श्यामला धारण, नीड अहिन्सार धर्मं पालन-
नाही किछी भेदभाब, एथि नाही रे किछी अभाब-
तेई देसर आमी संतान, आमी राखिबो ताहार नाम-
आसो करीबा तार जयगान, आमे देई रे आम जीबन...

We had Anganwadi but it didn’t open regularly neither kids were given any nutritious food, says Usha didi to Shatali Shedmake from Birpur village in Jawa tehsil, Rewa district in Madhya Pradesh. We then reported it on Swara on 4th April 2015 and within a month anganwadi has began to operate on regular basis and children are also provided food. We are happy because our kids can access Anganwadi regularly and thank all listeners who called officers to put pressure. For more Shatali@9479003196.
