At the initiative of the VDC, the wing wall of the bridge has been constructed by the LGED after three years of the construction of the main bridge-an instance of awareness and empowerment of the villagers.

 

 

The DORP and Associates has provided "Training on Management of Self-help Organization (VDC) at village level and Rural Leadership Development" to the VDC and PMC leaders. After attending the training Mr. Bulbul Islam the VDC Chairperson, who is also an assistant Teacher of Baruamari Junior Girls' High School became enthusiastic on realizing the group strength and took initiative to contact the local LGED. He took the lead, visited the LGED office at Jamalpur along with the VDC members and informed them of the problem of faulty construction and its consequences on the village life. They also formally requested LGED officials to investigate into the matter and to take necessary corrective measures. Consequently the LGED, Jamalpur called the contractor again and asked them to construct the wing walls as they had left the bridge incomplete.

Finally the contractor had to respond and had to construct the wing walls of the bridge. The VDC of Baruamari village has completed the earthen road and the road is now usable during the rainy season.
