REASON FOR SELECTING THE VILLAGE

We have selected this village because it has almost 1500 houses and about 3300+ population. Even though, the village is not that much improved because it has situated quite far from town and we felt we can get noticed this village to the governing bodies of that area by "Mera Gaon Mera Base"
 campaign.
