Joint initiative of groups and forum

`Many a little makes a mickle’ is a much read Bangla proverbs. But we seldom make this phrase in reality. Therefore, we do not see the pragmatic application of taught knowledge in our society. Yet, there are some people who live in the society and perform few social works as social being. So by the initiative of some people of Akua jubilee quarter done spectacular work and reconstructed the road in their areas.

There inhabits around 2 to 3 hundred families people at Jubilee quarter areas. Their livings are alike the rest of other families of the colony.  They are used to live with encountering many problems. Still they strive to uplift their living standard regularly. To the same spirit, they made communication and advocacy with elected councilor and urged him to renovate the road for movement. But he did not pay any heed to their calling.

So, they discussed about the ways out to get rid from the problems of waterlogging during the rainy monsoon in IED organized male group meeting and decided that male group members to reconstruct the road taking assistance from women group members and local inhabitants involving community forum members.

With joint initiative of groups and community forum, the reconstruction work of the road is completed within the short span of time though having seemed difficult at first. It is noted that they themselves complete the road reconstruction by their own labor. Now, they are exceedingly self-confident having completed the work by their own initiatives.

Selina Begum, local women group leader said, as no one taking care of sorrow and pain as well as means and livelihood. So we do our own work by ourselves.’ It is worth to mention that local administration to divisional level hails this outstanding initiatives and pledge assurance that they will stand beside to the local people at any requirement.

People around are contended by such courageous initiatives of community forum, male group and women group members and they are optimist that local people will remain stay beside community people at any development activities.
