Sunset envelopes our villages with sheet of darkness. People hesitate to come out of their homes for safety reasons. In a civilized society of 21st century, this can not be accepted as a normal way of life. Lakshya Peace Foundation takes the initiative of lighting our villages with LED bulbs. We chose Dighi village in Jamui district as our first destination.

.A team was formed comprising Dr Ravi Shankar, Mr Ankit Kumar, Mr Rajendra Pd Baranwal, Mr Bhupesh Jha and Mr Bankesh Tiwari. We did meetings. Mr Ankit Kumar and Mr Bhupesh Jha did survey of the whole village to count number of poles where LED bulbs could be installed. We talked with some of the village youths and well wishers from outside village also for their contribution in street light project. We thank Mr Anand Kumar (Bank Manager), Mr Mithilesh Kumar (Bank Manager ), Dr Anamay Narayan Sharma (Doctor in USA), Dr Sucheta (Doctor in Mahavir Cancer Sansthan Patna), Dr Saurabh (Doctor in AIIMS, Patna) for contributing to this project. Their total contribution helped us to fund around 60% of the project cost. Rest fund was personally donated by secretary Dr Ravi Shankar. On 2 Oct, 2019, we held a small function at Durga Mandir in Dighi village with around 50 invitees from the village.

We discussed various aspects of the project and sought blessing of the elders. In next 3-4 days, the whole of the Dighi village was illuminated with LED bulbs. The happiness on faces of the villagers was palpable.. As that was Navratra time, as many as 800 benefited from this during going for Puja to Durga Mandir.
