In the very onset, two hundred meters of mud road has been constructed in the tribal outskirts of the village as a result of which the marginalized periphery has been directly connected to the central road of the village. The sociological impact of this communication link is too significant to be explained in detail here. Two large ponds in the area have been located and the embankments of those two ponds have been strengthened, preventing soil erosion. Pollution control campaigns and AIDS awareness campaigns have been organized involving a large majority of the villagers who have willfully participated in the campaign. For generating literacy drives and motivating the people of the village towards continuing education, the collage is working hard to open a village library as soon as possible and the most significant development in this regard is that one local resident, Mr. Sadhan Dutta, Has very kindly agreed to donate his ancestral house to the proposed library.
