Reading through the proposal made me realise how disconnected we are from the decision-making process intended to shape our villages. Relying on larger towns for basic needs could lead to a dependency that negates our efforts to cultivate a strong community spirit. Each village has its unique charm and requirements, and a blanket policy fails to respect the individuality of smaller communities. It’s imperative that we push for tailored solutions that nurture and promote local services, fostering empowerment and independence for our villages. We owe it to future generations to ensure they inherit a vibrant and self-reliant community.
