Its to inform that no farmer had applied under MO POKHARI scheme (NREGS) in Gop Block of Puri District. After suggestion of B.D.O.,Gop Block, Radio Namaskar started broadcasting of a announcement regarding MO POKHARI in 1st week of March 2010. In impact of this announcement 123 applications are received by the block administration from the rural farmers of different G.P.s of Gop Block. Out of which 97 worker orders are issued by block administration. Sj.Srimanta Mishra ,BDO,GOP said , “It’s a miracle that after our several intervention through GRS,GP E.O.s & PRIs we did not get any application but now after announcement of Radio Namaskar we got more than 120 applications yet. I came to know from PRI & Citizens of Banakhandi,Mahalpada & Simili GPs that the radio volunteers are also moving around different village & also collecting & broadcasting the voice of village people in Radio Namaskar.It has encouraged the rural masses. I expect more help from Radio Namaskar in all parts of our activities.”
