A SHRAMADANA CAMPAIGN.

 

        Last week there was a shramadana campaign in our village. It was organized by the Youth Club. The main objective of the campaign was to repair the road leading to our village. The road was in a dilapidated condition. It had not been repaired for several years. It was full of potholes. 

            By 7.00 a.m. nearly seventy-five members of the Youth club gathered near the school. They were very enthusiastic. They had brought tools such as chisels. The Youth Services officer in the area too took part in this shramadana campaign. The members were divided into three groups. Each group was entrusted with a different task. 

✅    The first group cleared the jungle on either side of the road. They also cut down the overhanging branches of the trees. 

✅    The second group filled the potholes with earth. They cleaned the culverts too. 

✅    The third group cleaned the side drains on either side of the road. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                         

        Work was stopped for lunch at 1.00 p.m. When the groups stopped their work for lunch, most of the work entrusted to them was completed. Work was resumed at about 2.30 p.m. They were able to complete the entire work by 6.00 p.m. 

        After the work was over, the Youth Services officer gave a pep-talk expressing the value of teamwork. The Secretary of the Youth club thanked all the members for their kind co-operation.
