>Friends,
> Here is an email message from Mr Kula Saikia. I am so glad to share with you the following information about Project Prahari. Here is my own compilation (collected over a period of 10 months) on the reports about the Project Prahari. The common public dont quite go along with the cops, do they? However, this is a very positive sign (which some of you might already be aware of!) and is something that needs to be emulated elsewhere in the country.

>Tulika/Uday/Kaushik-da, please share this amongst the AID members. Like Kula-da himself says, this is not for funding or help of any kind. Just to spread the word that "local initiative" and "self-help" is paving the way for grass-roots development.

>Monalisa, please share amongst the Bay Area community and AshaSV chapter.

>Dear partha
>This is in reply to your letter below. I understand your concern for your own people. In fact you all want something positive should happen somewhere--at least let a few get something to eat, something to wear and somewhere to stay! This feeling of yours make me feel great--still there is hope, some one at least wants things happen.

>I have seen AID India web site doing their bit to make a difference. Good Thing. Please let them know that through Prahari project, we are changing a lot in 42 villages(many more villages are willing to join). The only motive power is their motivation to use people's power for development, otherwise how can 5 villages in Kokrajhar build a canal of 5 km to irrigate their land by using only human labor without looking up to the govt. fund(which could have been more than 20-30 lakhs rupees easily in official estimate) . I would like you to bring these small attempts under prahari to the knowledge of AID india so that they feel good . This is not for fund or other help (in fact we are not allowing any funding from above, and only trying to motivate the people to utilise their local resources and ensure vertical mobility through will to prosper and not to believe in spoon feeding that has been happening so far in our country)
