Vimukti Charitable Trust in
collaboration with likeminded NGO’S from Raichur staged a protest in
front of Deputy commission office at Raichur on Wednesday 2nd
October 2019 alleging that the elected representatives and the
concerned officials had failed to utilize the allotted amount for
the development of the Gram Panchathya and not allowing women, voice
their views in the Gram Panchyath. Secondly Community women here
demanded proper implementation of basic entitlements.
While people across the state celebrated Gandhi Jayanthi, 150 of
women Representatives cross the district took part in this protest.
Women came from various villages holding and shouting slogans in
demanding immediately to basic entitlements and memorandum was
submitted to the DC and CEO of Raichur to give in writing that they
would do justice to their protest and take these issues very
seriously. Fr. Sathish Fernandes VCT Director expressed before
Media, the basic infrastructure problems of the school not cast a
shadow on the studies of the children. Rather school infrastructure
should also be suitable for environment for education. It is a right
of every child to have access to toilet in their schools. However,
no official from the department concerned has even tried to attend
to the problems being faced by the students. Owing to lack of
toilets most of the girl students at primary level quit their
studies. Today we have government schools in the district but don’t
have clean drinking water facilities, compound walls, indoor outdoor
games materials library books, etc.
150women representatives were present and actively involved in
Protest rally.
