Balasore (Coastal Zone):

For this district we need lot of help as 5 blocks have never been covered and two we held one year and lost:

Total Number of Blocks in Balasore: 12

RMTS 2005: Blocks Covered: Bhograi & Bahanuga Centres: 3 No. of Students 285

RMTS 2006: Blocks Covered: Basta, Jaleswar & Soro. Centres : 4 No. of Students : 448

RMTS 2007: Blocks Covered: Baliapal, Basta, Bhograi, Jaleswar. Nilagiri and Soro. Centres : 8 No. of Students : 534

Blocks to be covered: 6

(Bahanaga, Balasore, Khaira, Oupada, Remuna, Simiulia ).

We have to find why we lost Bahanuga, Bhograi in 2006, we could get Bhograi back this year.

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