On hearing the name of villages and cities, our mind often remembers those narrow streets, roaming cows, small houses, and the food prepared in those houses. Something good keeps happening for the development of the cities, but no one pays attention to the development of the villages. Today, in his speech, President Draupadi Murmu talked about making villages smart.
The government is taking several measures keeping in mind the urban and rural life. But do you know that India already has a smart village, which is being emulated by the whole world? Yes, we are talking about Dhaula village located in the Dhaulpur district of Rajasthan, which is called the country's first smart village. Come let's know about the amazing story of this village that how this place became a smart village.
This village is in Rajasthan
As beautiful as the cities of Rajasthan are, there is also a village here, which is known as Smart Village. Dhanura in the Dholpur district is the first smart village in India, which is famous for its advanced development. Facilities like lush green trees, solar street lights, beautifully painted brick houses, skill development centers, meditation centers, and public libraries are also here. You will surely fall in love with this place after seeing the clean streets here. Dhanura village is situated at a distance of about 30 km from the district headquarters. The population of the village is about 2 thousand. It is a matter of happiness that Dhankhara village has also received many awards.
A canal has been made in the village
The Dhankhara village model has been adopted as a development model by gram panchayats in the state and the country. Modi ji has also honored this village. There are cement roads here to make the village look like a city. Not only this, the villagers say that a canal has also been made here, which is connected to all the fields. The length of this canal is about two and a half km.
There is a modern toilet in the village
Here modern toilets have been made in homes and schools, sewage treatment plants have also been installed, and there is also a coaching institute for the preparation of the students for the examination. Apart from this, a computer lab has also been established here to provide computer education to the children. You may be surprised to hear this, but this is the truth. Whenever you get a chance to visit Jaipur, do visit Dhanaura village once.
All this was not there in the village earlier.
If you are thinking that this village already had everything then it is not so at all. Before 2014, the condition of this village was very pathetic. Here the roads were broken, and during this, the electricity was also cut, so the villagers could not get proper employment facilities like toilets, or water. But the district administration, some NGOs, the village sarpanch, and many representatives have a hand in bringing the village to this modern state.
The village is alcohol-free
You will hardly see this in any village where there is no crime or consumption of alcohol. But perhaps every village should learn something from Dhanaura village, this village is liquor free, and there has not been a single incident of theft here.
How To Reach Dhanaura Village
Dhanura village is about 248 km from Jaipur, you can easily reach this village from the nearest railway station.
