Thought For The Day
FAITH is like a door opening upon an eternal truth , which can see it , almost touch it.

I am a child reporter. I was born in 2005 in Koraput district of Orissa in the beautiful country INDIA, with 100 brothers and sisters.Later I had 100 more childreporter brothers and sisters in Dhenkanal , another princely district of Orissa.Now we are 1500 child reporters in Koraput. We all the brothers and sisters have been observing our immediate environment with a journalist's eye. We then have analysed the situation, good or bad, with the help of our elders and those who knew what it was. We took a note of the development , became a part of the development in our village. Our reports got published in our own magazine "ANKURODGAM". The news covered the disfunct tubewell to the beauty of our tradition and culture. It was then sent to the various people in the society starting from the common people to the district administration and even the policy makers.Many of them came to our villages.We are now happy that more children are getting the opportunity to be the child reporters in Koraput and Dhenkanal districts .
