“We preserve our linguistic traditions.”
“ଆମେ ଆମର ଭାଷା ପରମ୍ପରାକେ ବଜାଏ ରଖୁ।”

In your area, citizens are actively proposing solutions related to economic empowerment and cultural preservation. There is a recurring need for financial support, specifically grants of around 20,000 rupees, to enable women's groups and individuals to start small agricultural or entrepreneurial ventures like vegetable farming, broom businesses, or pani puri sales 💰. Furthermore, access to water is identified as crucial for successful cultivation 💧. Alongside these economic aspirations, there is a strong and consistent emphasis on preserving traditional language, dance, songs, and food practices, particularly the reintroduction of millets and the traditional consumption of Mahua for its health benefits 💡. Citizens are eager to cultivate local crops, save seeds, and promote healthy eating through traditional preparations.
