Dear All,
Wish you all a very successful and joyful new year in advance.
Please note that many intellectual people in Kalahandi are advising to bring all people living outside of Kalahandi (in various cities in India and abroad) to bring together, as they feel participation of such people will help to bring awareness and development in the region.
It is difficult to bring all of them together unless every one living out side Kalahandi support and take interest in it. Luckily, today Kalahandia finds place in each corner of the world in various different fields.

We have formed following interntet groups, please suggest/advice your Kalahandi counterparts/friends to be part of it.
Kalahandia yahoo group is running actively since 8 years. To join it kindly suggest to email to:
Facebook group: Kalahandi (getting popular world wide)
Orkut group: Kalahandia (not much active now a days)
Twitter: Kalahandia
(Or, you may also follow "digpatra" for the same message)
Please note that intellectual and our involvement in the ground problems is encouraging people in the ground to work harder towards development of our region, few noted activity includes central university (instead we succeed to get engg and agri colleges), Wagon factory and Agricultural college/university by Sri Sri Ravisankar Guruji etc.
Our next step is to pursue for branch of Indira Gandhi National Tribal University in Kalahandi and a state University. Two new central schools have come in Nuapada and Khariar this year, when I met our MP and local sub-collector, both of them said another one in Dharamgarh may get approved next year as there was problem with some document this year. The model school and college are also in line as per sub-collector.
Railway and state highways are important. We are writing letters on these issues. Of course, irrigation is very crucial and hopefully Koksara lift irrigation and expansion of Upper Indravati and Indra proejcts will be through soon. Thanks to Pushpendra babu for making the Koksara lift irrigation project approved by CM and hope our MP takes the issue in the central govt.
Our Kalahandi MP, Bhakta Babu is taking positive interest on many of our demands. His efforts and hard work for Agricultural college/university by Sri Sri Ravisankar Guruji and Wagon factory are praise worthy. Our minister Pushpendra babu and leader of opposition Bhupendra Babu are also equally supportive on various issues. All these leaders have a great sympathy for the development of our region and encourage intellectual involvement in development, let’s not concentrating on each of their political affiliation or interest, help them as civil society effort so that they can help politically for our demand without bothering politics.
Honestly we do not need to go for politics and blame politician for every thing without even approaching them, rather lets put our demand to them and see whether they really work on the issue or not?
Knowing the ground difficulties intellectual initiatives and involvement taken by Prof. G.B.Behera, Dr A. K. Nanda and Dr Baba Mishra are really exceptional. Being an educationally backward district, awareness is poor and there are many hurdles in the ground as large percentage of the population rarely understand about how modern economic works, social, cultural and moral development are other parts.
However, things have started melting, and all our involvement in terms of bringing awareness, in terms of sharing little knowledge from the national and global experience and not tilting like professional NGOs/activist, may help our region in a big way. And to start with is to build a solid network among ourselves. Emailing, facebook campaigning, encouraging younger generation to higher study as well as entrepreneurship (that we lack sufficiently in Kalahandi region) are other creative issues we need to closely work with.
A new positive step in new year ahead to looking forward for the development of the region.
Thanks and best regards
Digambara
