About 200 school children cross it by boat every morning. Even if someone is ill, he has to be brought by boat to the other side. The

When no one heard, the village woman Kalavati united the rest of the women. It was decided that we would build a bamboo bridge on the river. He put about one lakh rupees on his behalf. The bridge was ready half. Then the picture of the bridge reached the administration, the officers were surprised. Reached the spot immediately and stopped the work. Promised that the bridge will be built here in the next session, drop what has been made now.
Dainik Bhaskar The team reached Kripalpur village. Looked at the situation there, listened to people. Talked to school going children. People’s trust in government promises Let’s know everything from one side…
This is a picture of the bridge that the villagers were making on their own. The administration stopped the construction of it, stating the risk.
Two women put 1 lakh rupees We reached inside the village via boat. Many people met sitting. We met Kalavati Nishad. Their children go to school on the other side of the river. She says- Our children and other children of the village are small. There is no means to go to school. Go by boat, many times it happened that he fell into the river by boat. Could not go to school. Now if you do not study, then their future will be bad. If someone falls ill in the village, then there is a problem for him.
A population of about six thousand of Kripalpur village is cut off from the rest of the villages during the rainy days. If the boat is not found, then they have to go around 15 kilometers and go to it.
Kalavati says- When leaders come during the election, they say that they are walking with a bridge. But, they used to forget after the election. If the government and the administration did not hear, we decided to build a bridge. Sitting and discussed with the people of the village. Then started work.
Kalavati says- The people of the village put two electric cement poles in the middle of the river. Use of white wood. Put an iron bari above, bamboo fats were being applied on it. When all this was happening, its information reached the administration. SDM Durgesh Singh Yadav reached the spot. Seeing the situation of the bridge, he said that it is not right. This can cause danger, after which they stopped it. Said that a permanent bridge will be built here next year.
If not built, we will build a bridge We met Radha Devi of the village itself. She says- Pregnant women of the village have to face a very bad situation. No one knows what goes on them. No one listens to our problems. The people of the government say that they will build a bridge, but after winning, no one is visible. Many times there is such a crowd in the boat that the child cannot sit, his paper is left. If children are not able to read, what will you be able to do?
Amit Kumar of the village itself says- The problem of bridge in our village is from the time of independence. We get into the water and cross the river. The boats also charge more money. Apart from this, if you want to take your goat-blows, then they have problems. On the other hand, we have a farm, to bring fodder from there, then the boat people make problems.
The MP offered hand pumps, we said- a bridge is needed 60 -year -old Ram Gopal Nishad is active in politics. If the leaders and officers come to the village, they definitely meet them. Ram Gopal has also met MLA and MP. He says- When Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti was MP here, we went to him. She was giving us a hand pump, we said that we do not need it. My children are working hard in Gujarat and sending money, we will get submersible at home. We just need a bridge for our village.
Ram Gopal says- We have told every leader-MLA. UP government minister also met Sanjay Nishad, everyone gave assurances. In our village, a tank was built under every house tap scheme. His condition is such that it has been 4 years today, no water reached the house. The road of the entire village was spoiled by digging.
Our fields are barren on the other side Anoop, a farmer of the village, says- Our farming is on the other side of the river, there is a big problem in plowing-boy. There is also a tractor in our village, but we have to call the tractor of another village. Many times, such a situation comes that we cannot get plowing and boys done there, so we leave it barren.
Deepak standing next to Anoop says- right now there is only 5 feet of water, but as soon as the rain starts, the river will reach the boom. Then its depth will be about 20 feet. At that time neither the boat nor any other medium, so that the river can be crossed. At that time pregnant women have the most problems. I have seen that many times delivery occurs here.
It is not easy for those whose fields are across the river.
85 children from Kripalpur alone go to a school We stayed in this village for about 5 hours. Talked to more than 20 people. Every person says that if there is a bridge in this village, half the problem will be over. Many also say that do not give us the benefit of other government schemes, but give the bridge. Because it is the future of their children from this bridge. Due to lack of a bridge, people in the village are hesitant to do weddings. After talking to the people here, we returned to the river by crossing the boat. Arrived at the school in Gopalpur where the children of Kripalpur come. This school is about 2 kilometers from Kripalpur.
Children cross the river by placing a bicycle on the boat. They study in Gopalpur school.
Sri Siddheshwar Secondary School in Gopalpur studies from class 6 to 10th. Dr. Triloki Nath Mishra, Principal of the school, says- 85 to 90 children from Kripalpur alone come to our school to study. Due to the problem of river, they are coming down at this time. Earlier, 35 children used to sit together in the boat that used to run in the river. He was closed by the local farm due to a dispute. Now only 5-6 children are able to sit at once in the small boat that goes on.
We asked the principal that you never met the leaders? He says- We spoke to former MP Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti. He told them that if a permanent bridge could not be built, then make a bridge of pipe. Then he had said that he would make it, but could not be built yet. We had seen the women who are building bridges at this time. He is swinging in the air. The feedback given by the children also revealed that he is weak. It will not be able to travel.
Children said- the river challenge for us We talked to the children of Kripalpur. Shiksha Devi, studying in the 9th class, says- The river makes a lot of problems for us. Many times the children fall and then they have to go back home. The water decreases in winter, then the boat does not move. At that time, we take off shoes and roast and then come down in the river. On coming to the other side, they again reach school wearing them. The remaining friends of education also explain a similar problem. We asked that never thought that he should leave his studies? All say in unison that it is not so.
Children say that it is a big challenge for us to reach the school.
It was from the children that we came to know that in lieu of getting the river crossing, the boat takes a annual of Rs 300 per child. 500 rupees are taken from those who bring bicycles. Since all the children are from sixth grade to 12th class and schools are also away, 80% of children go to school on their bicycle.
At present, the people here do not want to open a half -bound bridge. He also suspects assurances with confidence. The elders here want their dream to be fulfilled before their death. His dream is to become a bridge.
