Goat banking - an innovative concept. Poor people take two 1 year old goats  and then after two years return half the kids (usually the 2 becomes 10 and they return five). In between they are coached and helped and smaller business transactions happen such as the goat bank buys the goat poops from them and makes fertilizer out of them.

A well educated couple in Odisha left their jobs and started this in Kalahandi (Odisha) and are running this successfully. The PM covered this in his Mann Ki Baat. https://www.financialexpress.com/india-n...g/3404678/

Two parallel roads were being constructed. One is ready. The other has a small incomplete part as it passes through Salia sahi. It would be better if that part is routed through the border of Ekamra Kanan as shown in the map below.
