About 120 Balsansad children
participated in an Awareness Rally organised by Suryodaya Samaj Kendra on
9/7/16.
It aimed at creating awareness on
the MMRDA Development plan among the people.
The development plan marks the
area as an entertainment and tourist zone. The development plan also intends to
build a bridge in their area. According
to the residents this will lead to a loss of livelihood and displace them from
their homes.
The children enthusiastically
participated in the rally, singing awareness songs, and displaying the placards
and the banners prepared for the event. 
As a result of this awareness the
community was mobilized and around 500 villagers gathered together in the
community hall. Sr. Christle and two others community members from the Gorai
Fisherfolk Society shared about the Development Plan and the proposed plan of
the MMRDA. They encouraged the villagers to be aware and prepare an action plan
on how to voice their dissent on the Development Plan which was put up by the
Government for feedback.
