Mail of Anoj Chhetri after Gumla district visit.

Dear Bishnu,


Congratulations!!

You and your team in Jharkhand deserve our special appreciation for all good works. I am highly impressed by team work demonstrated in Gumla district. It would benefit other aspiring districts if they would visit Gumla and interact with a range of stakeholders converged for peace and development. The footstep that you have made shall contribute to achieve the overall objectives of the project.
