      With a vision to transform lives of people in rural villages, the East Jaiñtia Hills district administration has taken its direct responsibility to adopt five of them to bring about all round development.

      The initiative was taken by Deputy Commissioner Abhilash Baranwal, SDO Sadar Abhinav K Singh, Additional Deputy Commissioners, G. Warjri, Jonathan Shylla, Alert Nongbri and R Brahma.

      The villages include Narwan, Tuber Kmaishnong, Mukhaïalong, Cham-Cham and Moolamylliang. The ADCs will take up livelihood programmes in each village and kick start a series of growth reforms and turn them into ‘model villages.’

      “The officers will take up livelihood programmes in these villages for employment generation besides setting up of poultry units. Apart from that we will also ensure that all government schemes and institutions are functioning properly,” Baranwal told Highland Post.

      He said the district administrators will also address school drop outs.  Funds have already been generated through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), he added.

      The waheh shnongs of the five villages have welcomed the decision and are appreciative of the step. The waheh shnongs said they will offer their assistance towards development and growth.

      “We are hopeful to see reforms in health, education employment and others with the far-sightedness of the deputy commissioner,” Waheh Shnong of Tuberkmai Shnong, Miki Lyngdoh said.

      Secretary of Tuber Kmaishnong, Tell Me True Phawa said the village has flagged 11 issues that would be taken up by the district administration. “We wish to see hundred percent growths in literacy rate, immunisation of children, toilets for every household, clean drinking water, electricity, smokeless chulha, environment conservation, tackling alcohol addiction, law and order and others,” he said.

      Waheh Shnong of Narwan, Lamsuk Langstang said the village looks forward towards development of tourism, improvement in the health sector, protection of rivers, check on indiscriminate burning of forests and development of roads.

      He said since Narwan is famous for the Khasi Mandarin orange, the village looks forward to further boost its production.

      Meanwhile, work is afoot for construction of a garbage disposal area at Tuber Kmaishnong.
