Jatapara Village, India

Due to lockdown, our activity has been limited. We, along with the youth, banned the sale of liquor in the village. However, sellers revolted but in the end, agreed that they were breaking the rules of the lockdown.

Greetings from Binodpur Village! We are grateful that GHNI continues to bring help and hope to the hidden and hurting in our village and throughout the world.

Dhoker Jhara Village has made good progress so far. Villagers now know how to maintain good health by growing green vegetables in their kitchen gardens and using them in meals. We have hand pumps for safe drinking water. We had to postpone planting trees since we are not allowed to go out of our homes. So far, all students are coming to school. We have decided to graduate from this village, and so we will do that very soon, too!

This month before lockdown, we discussed with the women of the group regarding the sources of income for the month of March, April and May, as selling nankeens and sev packets do not increase income quickly. In the meeting we concluded to move forward making packets of snacks for marriage and other functions of the village and neighbouring areas, as the next three to four months are the season of weddings in this area.

During the month of February, no major crops were cultivated in Jatapara Village. Farming here is generally focused on rice cultivation, which is done in the month of July. In the months of October and November, vegetables like potatoes, radishes and mustard are cultivated.

As usual, we are continuously trying to empower women through small business. We are setting up a lady named Sonapati as an example. She started a small shop where she sells daily used things like soap, oil, rice and others.
