00:00Our small river is full of water.
00:02In the monsoon season, there is a lot of water.
00:05The poet's poetry is very similar to this poem.
00:09With the southern part of Bakura, it looks like the river Thara.
00:13In fact, Bangladesh is a river fishing state.
00:16But the life of the people by the river is very different.
00:22Here in Shimlapal, Shairi, Angkor, Khamar Danga, Basipur, Elar Danga,
00:29many boys and girls from the village wear pants, shoes,
00:34and go to school in the water of the Shilabati River.
00:37But this picture is not of one day.
00:40It is a picture of many decades.
00:42This picture of the people who went to school with their lives
00:46was seen by the people of that area.
00:48But their eyes do not change even if the day changes.
00:52This incident has been happening for several decades on the Shilabati River.
00:57The Shilabati River is located at a distance of more than one village in Shimlapal.
01:02Therefore, most of the students who go to primary school
01:06are admitted to the Rathesham Bidda Temple in Laikpara above the river.
01:12But in the rainy season, Shilabati also blooms like other rivers.
01:17That is why the road to school through the river is closed.
01:20Because it is impossible to reach their school within a 15-kilometer circle in Shimlapal alone.
01:27There is no such school in the area.
01:30Therefore, the school in Laikpara near the river is closed.
01:33The students cannot sit in the school of the boys and girls.
01:38But there is a lot of trouble on exam days.
01:41At that time, it was almost impossible to reach the school by boat if the water in the river increased.
01:49In this situation, the villagers claimed that a wet preparation was necessary in this area on behalf of the students.
02:12What was the situation at that time?
02:17How much did you have to study?
02:19Yes, how much did I have to study?
02:21If I had to study, what else could I do?
02:24I had to pay the private tuition.
02:28At that time, I had to pay a small rent in Shimlapal.
02:32How much did you have to pay?
02:34I had to pay Rs. 200 per day.
02:37Now, I have to pay Rs. 10-12 per day.
02:40If the residents of the area have claimed behind this situation,
02:45then the village headman and the resident of the area, Trinamool's Phalgoni Singhababu,
02:53had created a Banshipur primary school in the area due to the problem.
02:58But the school is not being sent by the residents of the boys and girls.
03:02Such is the opinion of the village headman.
03:04The problem is there.
03:07To solve this problem, we have created a new primary school in Banshipur.
03:18So that the children do not have to go to school by crossing the river.
03:22But even after the school started, the residents are not sending their children there.
03:28The main reason for not sending them is that when the new school is created,
03:33the school will start with 15-20 students.
03:36Gradually, the school will be closed.
03:39We also started like that.
03:41It was good in the beginning.
03:43But now, the children are being sent there.
03:47Even if you don't cross the river, there is a school in front of the school.
03:54But there is no such distance.
03:57We have also learned that the school is in front of the school.
04:04It is not possible to create a bridge in all places.
04:08If you want to create a bridge over a river for the children to go to school,
04:12then you have to create such a high-rise building
04:16that there is a problem in the cleanliness of the area.
04:25We are discussing how to do it humanly.
04:31There will be opposition and pressure.
04:34I am not saying that the pressure is impossible.
04:37On this side, the BJP has taken direct action against Trinamool and the administration.
04:43The BJP leader says that Trinamool does not think about ordinary people.
04:49It is said that the education institution of West Bengal has been arranged by the village chief minister.
04:57But it is seen that the students are not able to go to school.
05:03They cannot go to school for three to four months.
05:08Even if they go to school, they have to spend a total of 200 rupees to travel 8-10 kilometers.
05:16The administration should take care of all these students.
05:23But the administration is not satisfied with this.
05:26The administration is completely upset with the education system and the future of ordinary students.
05:34The West Bengal government does not care about the students of Jangal Mahal.
05:41We will discuss this issue with the school teachers, the block administration and the district administration.
05:51So that they can get rid of this problem of the students.
05:58Ordinary people are facing difficulties day after day.
06:04The villagers are waiting for an answer to their problems.
