    It seems the idea is very good. Need to see its implementation. Such idea's need to be followed in other places also. Each year if they undertake such developmental works one by one in improving the village life will be a base for the development of the State. After providing electricity the next year providing uninterrupted tap water supply to villages and next year another facility to provide the village is lacking in will be the real work of the peoples representative .
