Click to check out development work in India's villages




"About 300-350 collectors from districts spoke about the societal and developmental changes taking place in their areas," Bapat said.

The website, which is still under construction and will be updated as and when more information comes in, will be launched May 19.

"We are also in touch with corporates like the HSBC bank which has its branches in many villages, rural BPOs and the WWF India in supplying us with information and updating our database. In return we give them free publicity on our website," he said.

Bapat is now in touch with MPs and political parties so that they put the amount of funds used in a particular place over a particular project on the website.

"This would work in two ways. During elections this would help the MP gain positive publicity and keep the public abreast of the proper utilization of funds. I am in touch with Jyotiraditya Scindia and some other MPs in this regard.
