However, the women who have successfully beautified their homes by creating and maintaining a garden (an activity promoted and facilitated by Mukti), will be given priority for work under Mukti\u2019s roadside plantation project, as the same kind of skills and diligence will be required for both activities. Additionally, women interested in getting jobs through Mukti should register themselves in Mukti&#8217;s MCDF groups to facilitate the job-finding process.<\/li>\n<li>While the villagers wanted Mukti to take initiatives so that farmers do not use shallow water (such as pond water) for farming, Mukti explained that since the government has given such permission, Mukti does not have the right to stop it. However, Mukti can raise awareness of rainwater harvesting for use in farming. Mukti has also encouraged farmers to less water-intensive crops instead of paddy to reduce groundwater usage.<\/li>\n<li>Mukti committed to re-orient all Mukti-installed street lights such that they will point away from the direction of the cultivated land. Further, these lights will be turned off for 15-20 days during paddy germination.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Mukti will organize more such meetings in the future to secure the participation of the villagers in community development.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mukti organized two \u201cGram Sabha\u201d meetings at Purba SridharpurPaschimpara and Purba SridharpurPurbapara on the 24th and 29th of January, 2023.
