BADO Ampati

The construction of this bridge has not only helped the villagers of Chigitchakgre but also the neighbouring villages such as Bolchuge, Kolkatolla, Baladinggre, Sasatbolgre, etc. as these villages are directly connected to Chigitchakgre. This bridge acts as a faster way of communication both for children going to school and also for the villagers to ferry their marketable products to the market places.

Apart from the children of Chengkompara the children of the nearby villages like Ampati, Chellapara, Dufrigaon, Sulguri, Bankapara etc. have also been very much benefitted with the construction of this school as this school is centrally located and is also easily accessible by road.

Earlier this kutcha footpath was very slippery for the people of this village to commute to do their day to day work. The construction of this c.c. footpath with a side drain to drain out the excess rain water during monsoon brought a great relief to the people of this village.

‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy’ is rightly quoted as the children of this village and the surrounding areas had no other source of alternative recreation earlier. With the construction of this park with necessary benches to sit and relax, items like  merry-go-round, swing, sea-saw, slider etc. for the children to play  lots of them are now  seen spending their leisure time here with great oomph.

The construction of this bakery unit with necessary equipments required for the production of bakery items serves as a source of living for the S.H.G. of this village who produce the bakery items here and sell it in the market.

Located in the centre of Bolsalgre village this R.C.C. footbridge serves as a passage to go to villages like Ballapur, Bolsal, Adinggre, Agalgre, Hathisil making it very convenient for all. This bridge has also made the work of the farmers easy to go and work in the paddy field without much effort during monsoon because earlier villagers had to cross the Bilsreng stream on foot which in rainy season used to be flooded and was a troublesome for the villagers.

Extension of Emmanuel U.P. School building at Betasing is located just by the side of the P.W.D. road leading towards Betasing Block office which is easily accessible for the neighbouring villagers to send their children to seek education from this school. Students, teachers etc. of this school faced great difficulty earlier due to the absence of toiletry and hence the construction of this toilet shed has greatly helped the students as well as the teachers etc.                               

This road is the only passage which the people of this village and the surrounding villages make use of to go to the spring tapped Chamber and ring well to fetch the water. Previously the people had to struggle walking this steep and very slippery kutcha road but with the help of this BADP scheme villagers at last do not need to labour   a lot as they did to fetch water earlier.

To sum up, not only the above shown pictures of the Schemes/Projects have benefitted the villagers but in fact all the Schemes under BADP have greatly helped the villagers in some or the other way. Ampati has 86 villages which still require lots of development but due to fund constraint only few villages can be developed and works can be highlighted.
