I am a social worker and currently, i used to travel frequently at the draught effected areas, specially western parts of my state by an official rescue van. However, there are twelve ambulance are serving the draught affected people consistently and scooter has been provided for each and every doctor so that they will carry out necessary medicines and food supplements easily with them in order to prevent disease. I have donate my motorcycle also to the draught rescue team and i feel proud for this.

Last year there was minimum rain fall in our state and was not sufficient for farming. The irrigation department of our state is not so good as compared to the other states of our country and that’s why they are unable to provide water resources to the farmers for cultivating.

However, from my side i have some crispy experience regarding the draught affected areas. First of all let me tell you that I’ve been appointed as a driver of our rescue van and i have supposed to drive more then 197 Kms per day including the hill areas of Nagaland border.

This is one of the dangerous and risky un-pitched roads in our state and nobody wants to take the risk to drive on these kind of roads. that's why as a local people the committee have taken the decision to give me the charge as a driver. Fortunately i have a HMV driving License and of course i have some good technical driving skills to tackle some general mechanical and driving problems over the hilly and bad roads.

I still remember, when our instructor teach us the driving lesson of handling the steering over the bad roads. Guaging the vehicle is one of my best driving lesson because Guaging the vehicle will only come from experience of driving it, so i let myself to drive most of the time.

I suggest everyone to learn the technique of driving and always try to practice one driving lesson a week or month so that the driving lesson turn into your habit. This is good for you and your society also because road safety is one of the major burning issue from past two years and we have to take this issue seriously.

I have to wake up early in the morning and pickup all my team members with all necessary stuff from the office and start my journey to the draught affected areas and distribute food stuffs, packet lunch, etc.. to the people and return to office at evening.

This is my first step over humanity and mankind and i feel's that everyone can do social service if they want to do so.. it's all about your positive attitude and healthy thinking. Social service give’s you the internal pleasure and I can prove it.
