Election Time - Vote on 21 st February!

It all started with a pledge taken to vote. In an innovative move taken by The State Election Commission, Maharashtra, voters in Maharashtra were asked to take action this year by pledging their votes by giving a missed call on 9029-901- 901. Voters could also then get access to the Mahavoter chatbot and have a lot of their queries tackled via this unique chatbot on Facebook messenger.

Under the helm of the current State Election Commissioner Shri. J.S.Saharia, the MSEC has done a lot this year to make sure that voters get more involved as well as get more inspired to get out and cast their votes. And we voters are now running out of excuses!

Firstly, the power of social media has been harnessed to help bring out change in the electoral and voting process. The State Election Commission, Maharashtra has also been actively campaigning for fair and ethical elections, as well as providing information via their social media platforms.

The election process also underwent a transformation by the addition of varied processes like online nomination process, decentralization of powers for efficient and effective decision making, use of software for bifurcation of the voter list etc. as well as the launching of multiple apps for users for guidance by the MSEC.

The desire to vote is definitely further supplemented by an Election Commission that not only aims to take action, but also delivers the necessary steps in order to make it better for voters overall.

I look forward to casting my ballot tomorrow, with all the information I need at hand. What do you think helps you in being a proactive voter and citizen?

Dantewada Diaries: Chapter 3!

Location: Tribal Market, Dantewada.

In our busy day-to-day schedule, running behind deadlines and achievements, we often tend to forget simple joys of life. Now-a-days, we are so accustomed to online shopping that we have completely forgotten the experience of shopping in an open market. When I came across the Tribal market of Dantewada, I remembered the golden days of my childhood when a holiday used to mean a mandatory open market shopping session with my Dad.

Yes, in most of the urban areas, the open market shopping days are gone. Still, there are a few places, like the Tribal market of Dantewada, where we can still find happiness while filling with our bags with our daily needs. And, in the process, make a needy shopkeeper's life beautiful.

You can find almost everything at the Tribal market, right from bangles to fresh vegetables, right from delicious street food to local liquor: "Mahua". If you are lucky enough, you can even experience the thrill of watching a "Cock Fight" live! And don't forget to bring some dried fish. They taste awesome and the price will not burn a hole in your wallet.

The best part about the Tribal market is that all goods are completely fresh and the prices are very low. Many tribal people depend on this market for their livelihood. For some people, selling goods in this market is their only source of livelihood. So, isn't is a great idea to get fresh goods at awesome prices and also fulfilling the needs of a needy person?

Think about this before entering inside a posh mall to purchase things that you don't even need. Think that your contribution can change someone's life. India will definitely progress if we support our local farmers and shopkeepers!

Dantewada Diaries: Chapter 2!

Location:  Muchnar, Dantewada.

Some places just steal your heart with their natural beauty. Located in Dantewada district, Muchnar is such a place. It is just 6 km away from Barsur. It is on the bank of the Indrabati river. Such greenery is a rare sight to come across in this era of technological advancement and modernisation. This area is still unexplored, which is a blessing in disguise. It is still miles away from pollution only because it is still unexplored. The dense greenery still exists only because it is free from the dense population of social animals.

One sight of Muchnar, One moment at Muchnar, and you will definitely feel the rush of blood to your heart as if you are experiencing your "First Love". Such is the magic of this place. There is calmness in the air. There is peace in the water. There is divinity in the ambience. There is a sense of freedom in the abundant greenery. There is romance everywhere.
