| Mittal Patel addressing the meeting at Bhavnagar village |
Bhavnagar, not part of Saurashtra, but a small village of Kankrej taluka of North Gujarat.
As the enthusiastic youths came to know that we are to dig the lake, they approached the VSSM Co-ordinator Naran and expressed their willingness saying that the village will also contribute.
Presently, the work of digging lakes has been stopped but it will be commenced as soon as the monsoon ends. For this upcoming season, we have started meeting the people of village and in that connection, we happened to visit Bhavnagar.
We had a meeting with the people of village. The response was wonderful, and the matter of contribution by village people was discussed. Chhanabhai Joshi, a farm labourer promised to give contribution of Rs.2000. The village where people are so co-operative and positive, there is no question facing any problem. Elders of the village are also supportive to youngsters, they don’t expect that what we say that only should be done.
Babubhai who knows about the work of VSSM gave donation of Rs.2100 for the organisation. It is time to feel happy seeing that people of the village are being sensitive about people from margins.Many Thanks to Babubhai.
Let us hope that the lake is dug properly, the water of canal fills this lake and the dream of village people comes true.
We will surely dig the lake of Bhavnagar in coming days.
As per the meeting with people of village in the coming days we will work on deepening of lake in coming days.

ભાવનગર સૌરાષ્ટ્રવાળુ નહીં પણ ઉત્તર ગુજરાતના કાંકરેજ તાલુકાનું નાનકડુ પણ મજાનું ગામ.
ઉત્સાહી યુવાનોને અમે તળાવ ખોદાવીએ એવી ખબર પડી એટલે સંસ્થાના કાર્યકર નારણનો સંપર્ક કર્યો ને ગામ પણ ફાળો આપશે તમે તળાવ ખોદાવોની ભાવના વ્યક્ત કરી.
આમ તો તળાવ ખોદાવવાનું અત્યારે બંધ કર્યું છે પણ ચોમાસા પછી ફેર કામ શરૃ કરી શકાય તે માટે ગામલોકો સાથે બેઠકો કરવાનું શરૃ કર્યું છે જેના ભાગરૃપે ભાવનગર જવાનું થયું.

ગ્રામજનો સાથે બેઠક થઈ.. અદભૂત પ્રતિભાવ.. ગામલોકો ફાળો આપે એ અંગે વાત થઈ તો ગામના છનાભાઈ જેઓ ખેતમજુરી કરે છે તેમને બે હજાર ફાળા પેટે આપવા કહ્યું... જે ગામમાં રહેતા લોકોની ભાવના આટલી ઉત્તમ હોય ત્યાં કઈ તકલીફ પડવાની ગુંજાઈશ જ રહેતી નથી..
ગામના વડિલો પણ વડિલના મોભાને બરાબર નભાવે. યુવાનોને બરાબર ટેકો કરે. અમે કહીએ એ કરવું એવો સૂર એકેય વડિલોનો નહીં.

પોતાના ગામનું તળાવ ખુબ સુંદર ખોદાયઅને કેનાલનું પાણી આ તળાવમાં નંખાય તેવી ગામની ભાવના સફળ થાવોની શુભેચ્છાઓ...
આગામી દિવસોમાં ભાવનગરનું તળાવ ખોદીશું એ નક્કી....
ગ્રામજનો સાથે થયેલી બેઠક ને ગામનું તળાવ જે આગામી દિવસોમાં ઊંડુ કરીશું.
