00:30But in Banaskatha district, there has been a lot of development in the villages of Sarhadi Vistar.
00:36To find out how the people of Sarhadi Vistar of Banaskatha district are living their lives,
00:43the ATB Bharat team had reached Avistar.
00:46And they tried to find out the situation and problems of the people.
00:51My life is very mean. What can I do?
00:55Have you ever agreed?
00:57Yes, I have. I have been doing it for two years now.
01:00I have been doing it for two years now.
01:06What kind of problems do the children face?
01:08They face a lot of problems.
01:09If they want to do their lessons at night, they have to do it in the dark.
01:14What kind of problems do you have with the batteries you are using?
01:17I have a lot of problems with the batteries.
01:20They don't work.
01:23There is a big solar park nearby.
01:26I have to be around the other side.
01:28When someone comes to my door, I have to switch on the lights.
01:32I don't have electricity, water.
01:35Water doesn't matter.
01:37I can go and pick up water.
01:39I don't have electricity, water.
01:43There is no electricity.
01:47I can go and pick up water.
01:51Nothing.
01:54The government is not helping us.
01:58The electricity has come to Gujarat, but we don't have electricity.
02:04For how many years you didn't have electricity?
02:08We didn't have electricity for 50 years.
02:12The electricity has come to Gujarat, but we didn't have electricity for 50 years.
02:18The government is not helping us.
02:22The electricity has come to Gujarat, but we didn't have electricity for 50 years.
02:26Radha Nesda and Lappadiya village of Vavthaluka are on the border of India and Pakistan.
02:32Even after independence, the village is deprived of electricity.
02:38The people of these two villages have not received electricity till date.
02:42The most important thing is that Radha Nesda village has come to make the world's largest solar park.
02:48This solar park is supposed to provide electricity to the entire Gujarat.
02:52But the neighboring village is deprived of electricity.
02:56So, the locals have to struggle for electricity.
03:00And as evening falls, there is darkness in both these villages.
03:04In Lappadiya village, 70 to 80 families live.
03:08In Radha Nesda village, 600 families live.
03:11As a result, more than 50 houses in the Ganiya Gathiya village received electricity six months ago.
03:17But even today, 500 to 550 families live in a dark environment.
03:22They have only one wish, that they get electricity by evening.
03:27There is no electricity in our village.
03:29How many years has it been?
03:30Four years.
03:31When it was raining, we went home.
03:34So, what kind of trouble do you have without electricity?
03:36There is no electricity here.
03:54What do you want?
03:58We want electricity.
04:00In the dark, there is nothing to be afraid of.
04:03If someone tries to harm a dog, how will they do it in the dark?
04:07I have no one in my village.
04:13Is there any electricity in the village?
04:15No, there is no electricity in my village.
04:17How long has there been no electricity?
04:19There has been no electricity in this village for years.
04:21I don't even have a car.
04:23How much electricity do you need?
04:25I need a lot of electricity.
04:27Whenever there is an emergency, the leaders of these villages keep talking big.
04:33But it is not clear who has tried to provide electricity in these villages.
04:38So, even the locals have a hidden hatred for the government.
04:43On the other hand, there is electricity in the primary schools along with the panchayat homes and government pharmacies.
04:48But there is still no electricity in the houses of the homeless families in the villages.
04:52Because of this, these people have to struggle for their livelihood.
04:58I want to tell the government that this village has been in the dark for 75 years.
05:06I have told the government many times that I have not received electricity.
05:10Many politicians have promised me, but I have not received any electricity.
05:16How can you live without electricity?
05:19In today's world, children cannot grow up without electricity.
05:23And we know that there is no electricity.
05:26So, we live in the dark.
05:27How can children grow up in the dark?
05:29What is your demand?
05:30My demand is that the government has made many promises, but why is this promise wrong?
05:34The government is not helping the people because they want to take votes.
05:39They say that they will provide electricity in this village.
05:41In this village, a solar plant has been built in 700 hectares.
05:46And we have not received any electricity in this village.
05:50How many houses do you have in this village?
05:53There are 600 to 700 houses in this village.
05:56The situation of the people who live in the border area has changed.
06:01The people who live in this village do not get water to drink or electricity to stay at home.
06:07Because of this, the village has been in the dark for years.
06:14Now let's see when the government will free these villages from the darkness.
