After becoming ODF, we have given plans of sustainability to every Village Panchayat, encouraging them by presenting awards every year, even kids engaged themselves in awareness drive. We also did a lot of work on clean water and all this lead to the creation of jobs, economic development. Now, rural area is witnessing major transformation with this and many other initiatives.”
