I have provided the e-address of BOLANGIR, Block Development Officers and you can write to them and liaison with them if you are or have a friend or relative, in that area.

If they don’t take part in RMTS2007, how can their talent can’t be unearthed?

I would appreciate if you write back to me and extend help by taking responsibility of one of 314 blocks, even if they are covered, or any way you like to contribute, so that we can run a quality RMTS 2007 truly unearthing rural talents, who otherwise will wither away.

Thanking you in advance.
Best wishes,
Sandip
