Balodabazar Bhatapara: Mamta Kamar and her husband Panch Ram Kamar, residents of Vananchal village Baldakachar of the district, will no longer have to face struggles as the Pradhan Mantri Janman Awas Yojana has brought new light to the life of Mamta Kamar and her family. Under this scheme, they have got a concrete house, which has now brought a sense of stability and security in their lives. Now, Mamta and her family are living in a safe and strong house, where she and her three daughters can move towards their future without any worries. Kamar expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai for this scheme and said that this concrete house has given a new direction to the life of his family and has filled him with confidence about the future of his daughters.
The livelihood of this Kamar family of Vananchal village Baldakachar depends on bamboo work, which is a traditional and laborious work. Despite this hard work, the dream of a permanent and safe roof for the family remained unfulfilled. Earlier they used to live in a kutcha house, where it was always a challenge to escape from the vagaries of weather. Mamta and Pancharam have three daughters, Nandini Kumar is 10 years old who studies in class 4, Nidhi is 7 years old who studies in class 1 and their youngest daughter Lovely is just 3 years old.
Mrs. Mamta told that she earns her livelihood by making traditional bamboo art pieces and working as a farm labourer during agriculture. Earlier she was not able to buy bamboo for making bamboo crafts due to financial constraints, but now she gets 1 thousand rupees per month from Mahtari Vandan Yojana, which she uses to buy bamboo. She is able to make Jhenjri, Supa, Parra, Tukni and other decorative items in large numbers, by selling which she is getting a good income, by saving which she is educating her daughters.
