Following Questions were asked to the village heads:-

1) Do you have the knowledge of your right?
2) Do you have the facilities given by the government?
3) Do you want to strengthen the system of traditional self governance?
4) What steps should be taken by youths to strengthen traditional self governance system (TSGS)? And so on…
Prem Prakash Presenting the Concept PaperThe village heads replied that TSGS is based on actual democracy. All are given equal right in this system. But the main problem is that the policies of government are difficult to understand due to illiteracy. Not any type of facility provided by the government. Moreover the attempt is being made to destroy the system. Panchayat election is totally against the system. For strengthening this, equal education is must as well as the education should be culture based.

This type of effort was required more to create awareness in masses. The program was ended with thanks giving.
