My name is Sumitra Pradhan, my village is Pikarodi, block is Tikabali, district is Kandhamal. In the old days, if there was any convenience or problem in the village, five people would sit and resolve the matter. The elder, whoever was there, whatever he said, would be decided accordingly. But nowadays, all people are going to courts. That's why we want to return to the previous situation.

My name is Sukanti Pradhan. My village is Lambakupa. GP is Pikorodi. Block is Tikabali. District is Kandhamal. In our rural areas, the main food items that were cultivated, such as ragi, millet, maize, black gram, and green gram, did not require fertilizer. That's why our ancestors lived for a long time. Currently, because we are not cultivating our traditional food seeds, many kinds of diseases are occurring. So, if we can get traditional food and seeds from the government, then we can return to our previous state.

My name is Mutiy Pradhan. My Gram Panchayat is Pikorodi. My Block is Tikabali. My District is Kandhamal. Our mothers used to store seeds in the olden days.
