    Instead of giving eggs, Hens should be provided so that they must not be lazy, and there are lot of work hard, like handicraft industry to be encouraged in such tribal areas.

    Dear readers, many times I requested to neglect Mr. Jessy Saldana’s comments. He himself FEKU , his comments are so silly & unmatured. His comments are spoiling the reputation of Daiji news.

    Giving every thing free makes the people lazy and diverts them to crime to make easy money. Secondly, Government started giving them rice @ Rs.1, do you know the result. They are just showing their Ration card to shop keeper & he enters the rice but pays them Rs.28 per KG with out giving the rice. Later Shop keepers selling it for higher rate.
