Balod. In the Gram Panchayat Chorel of Gundardehi block of Balod district, the ambitious plan of government Narva, Garwa, Ghurva, Bari is stalled. The lock is hanging in Gothan for one and a half years. Here all the arrangements are available for making vermi compost and collecting the waste. Despite this, Gothan could not start due to non-appointment of the committee. The people of Self Help Groups here are waiting for the start of Gothan, so that they can get the means of employment and their economic condition can be strengthened.
The ambitious plan of government Narva, Garwa, Ghurva, Bari is hanging in the balance in Chorel, a pilgrimage site of Balod district. Due to non-appointment of chairman and committee, no work could be started here in Gothan for one and a half years. In two and a half acres, Gothan has a garbage collection center, vermicompost production and fodder as per the need, but the poor of the village are not getting its benefits. Responsibility has also been fixed for four groups to work here. The people of Yasgroup are waiting for the Gothan to begin. People associated with the Gothan committee say that the appointment letter was sent to the government only one and a half years ago, but why it has not been implemented till now is beyond comprehension.
Machines lying in Gothan’s room
The machines given by the government for various work in Gothan are lying in a room here. Due to non-starting of Gothan, the machines are not even being used, the same machines kept may get damaged. On one hand there is anger among the beneficiaries who expected to get employment from here due to non-starting of Gothan. At the same time, there is anger among the villagers who are unable to even sell cow dung. Nor are they able to buy organic manure.
The list was sent even one and a half years ago
It is said that a year and a half ago when Gothan started, even at that time the list was sent to the government after approval in the Gram Sabha, but even after this, the villagers are still astonished about why the committee was not formed. Some people even said that the list had been prepared, but why was it not sent to the gram panchayat, the answer to this question has not been received by the people till date.
Gothan is behind a year and a half
It’s been almost a year and a half since Gothan was created. In these days, many works have started in other Gothans. Today the work of mushroom production, poultry farming etc. is being done in Gothan like Charota. At the same time, due to the non-starting of Chaurel Gothan, this Gothan has become behind by almost one and a half years. Villagers say that if it had started in the initial time, then many people would have got its benefit by now, while Gothan has his own land and pasture.
it is theirs to say
Kaleshwari Nishad, secretary of Ekta Self Help Group, who took the responsibility of making manure in Gothan, said that when the group got this responsibility, all the people of the group were very happy, but the work is not being started for one and a half years. We are waiting for Gothan to start. Pick-up should start soon. Meena Tandon, secretary of Minimata Self Help Group, who got the responsibility of the turn, says that initially we were very happy to know that we will get employment in our village too, but till now we are waiting for the start of Gothan. Seeing that people of Self Help Groups are working in Gothan in the surrounding villages, we also feel that the formation of our village should start soon.
Disappointment among people: Likeshwari
Buddhadev Self Help Group President Likeshwari Chandrakar told that there are about 20 groups in the village, the group which has got work is fine, but we are also waiting for Gothan to open. Gothan should be opened at the earliest, so that the people of the village, especially women, can get employment. Villager Mani Ram Sapha told that a year and a half ago, a Gram Sabha was held. In it the names of the people of the committee including the chairman were sent, yet it is not known why the committee has not been formed yet. Due to this our village is not getting the benefit of the government’s scheme. Ram Kishun Sahu said that due to non-opening of Gothan, people are not getting employment. Second, the purchase and sale of cow dung is not happening. Due to this, the farmers who have cow dung are deprived of taking advantage of the government’s scheme. At the same time, organic manure is also not available to the villagers.
Proposal has been sent: Sarpanch
Sarpanch of Gram Panchayat Chorel, Lavan Chandrakar said that a letter has been sent to the government. The appointment made by the villagers in the Gram Sabha has been sent along with the proposal. Departmental officers have also been informed in this regard. But why Gothan is not starting till now is beyond comprehension.
Will be started: CEO
District Panchayat Balod CEO Dr. Renuka Srivastava said that Gothan committee has been constituted and sent to the minister for approval. Gothan will be started as soon as the list is approved. If the list would have been sent earlier, I will find out by sending it to CEO Gunderdehi.
