Bhal Manuh : 2nd Episode - Biju Borbarua
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VTncAYNv5w ....................................... Biju Borbarua, through her organisation Asha Darshan, is working to bring about a comprehensive socio-economic transformation in the Tamulpur region of Baksa district, along the Indo-Bhutan border. Her work is in the areas of (a) education (b) microfinance and (c) women empowerment. She runs schools, provides capital to start small-businesses, and organises women to resist domestic violence. While this may seem fairly routine, what makes Biju's work stand out is her choice of territory. The Tamulpur region along the Indo-Bhutan border is greatly under-developed and hugely insurgency-prone. The Government has done little to develop education, health, road and law-enforcement infrastructure. In such a hostile environment, it is remarkable that a single woman chose to live, work and prosper within the local community. _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
