Must Read

For those who work hard, the paths themselves become their own. This proverb is applicable on the family of farmer Dharampal living in Gram Panchayat Rojhi. Earlier, dependent on unskilled labor of Mahatma Gandhi NREGA, the family of Shri Dharampal is now fully engaged in a permanent means of livelihood by producing vegetables in their fields. They have started earning an average of 12 to 13 thousand rupees per month from the produce of vegetables in their fields. The family of Mr. Dharampal does not have to worry about employment opportunities and at the same time the problem of money required for daily expenses has also been overcome. This labor family registered under Mahatma Gandhi NREGA is no longer worried about employment. Now every problem of theirs is being solved easily with the Dabri built under Mahatma Gandhi NREGA. Smiling Mr. Dharampal tells that now no worries are new, Dabri ke pani le mast sabzi hota hai and kelhari bazaar are sold immediately. Apart from the weekly market which is located just five kilometers away from their village, this family is easily meeting their daily expenses by selling their vegetables even on daily basis when there is more crop.
This success story of a registered labor family with the help of Mahatma Gandhi NREGA is from Rojhi, Gram Panchayat under Manendragarh Janpad Panchayat. Here Dharampal, the head of a farming family, lives with his sons Mr. Udaypal and Ajaypal. There are a total of eight members in his family and he has two job cards under Mahatma Gandhi NREGA at home. Shri Dharampal informed that he has a total of five acres of land in which he used to grow only paddy and wheat earlier. But the produce was not sufficient to meet the daily expenses of the whole year. After farming, with no other means of employment, all the adult members of his family were dependent on the employment-oriented works of Mahatma Gandhi NREGA. On getting information about the dubri to be made under Mahatma Gandhi NREGA from the gram sabha held in the gram panchayat, he applied to the gram panchayat to make dubri in his fields. In the financial year 19-20, on the basis of the proposal of the Gram Panchayat, under Mahatma Gandhi NREGA scheme, construction work was approved in private land with an amount of one lakh eighty-six thousand.
Shri Dharampal tells that during the lockdown last year, he and his family members got employment opportunity in the village itself and their own irrigation facility was also ready. Due to the construction of the dubri at the proper site, it was filled with enough water from the very first rain. Due to which he sowed the paddy crop at the right time and also started the production of vegetables in his one acre fields. Employment Assistant of Gram Panchayat Shri Angad informed that after approval, construction of Dabri was done through Gram Panchayat under the guidance of Technical Assistant in the fields of Shri Dharampal. The construction work of Dabri was started after the second week of April and the work was completed in the month of June. In this work, his family got a profit of more than 18 thousand rupees by doing 100 days of employment. Shri Dharampal, who has been on the path of prosperity since the construction of dubri in his fields, says that after filling the water well, he installed a solar pump in his dubri under the Saur Sujala scheme, which has provided ample irrigation facilities. Having their own means, they do the cultivation of vegetables ahead of time, due to which they get a good price in the market. A weekly market is held every Saturday in Kelhari, five kilometers away from the village, where vegetables are sold by hand. Due to this, his family gets a profit of two to two and a half thousand rupees every week. Now both the sons and the whole family have become free from the worry of employment by working hard in their farming work. Along with this, he has also put three kilos of fish seed in his dabri, Mr. Dharampal tells that after the rain, he will definitely be able to sell at least twenty five to thirty thousand fish if the fish grow up. With the help of Mahatma Gandhi NREGA, this family is now living their livelihood with ease.
