My Native Village

the village is like any other village in India. It has one central road. On both the sides of it, there are houses and some shops. All around it is the fields. There are about fifty families in my village. The central street is divided into two halves. On the south end are the houses of poor people. While the rich people live on the north end. In between this partition is the well. All the day-long women come and fatch water. There are two provision shops and one shop of the goldsmith. These shopkeepers also act as money lenders to the people. The Panchayat building is at the north end. The local rich man had given someplace in his vast courtyard for building the Panchayat house. There is a telephone, a radio and a television set in the Panchayat house. We have also installed solar lights in our streets and around the village. There is a community Bio-gas plant which supplies cooking gas and fertilizers to the whole village. We are lucky to have an honest headman. He makes sure that all the developmental schemes initiated by the government are honestly implemented. He has also built a school near our village here children from neighboring villages also come to go to study. There are two teachers in the school. All the villagers celebrate the festivals and ceremonies in the spirit of brotherhood. The only thing that is lacking in my village is the Bank That is why we have to borrow from money lenders. Otherwise, our village is a model village
