01:00I have been doing it for two years now.

01:28I don't have electricity.
01:32We do not have electricity.
01:35We have water.
01:37But we have no electricity.
01:39We have no electricity.
01:42We don't have water.
01:46The authorities have given us electricity.
01:51But we have no electricity.
01:55The government has come, my sister was there.
01:58There were lights everywhere in Gujarat.
02:01I don't know the reason why there were no lights.
02:05For how many years were there no lights?

02:12There were lights everywhere in Gujarat.
02:14The solar government came,
02:16for 50 years there were no lights.
02:19There was no authority.
02:21If there were lights, our future would be better.
02:23There is no future for us.
02:25There is no authority.
02:27Radha Nesda and Lappadiya villages
02:29of the Vavtaluka community
02:31have come to the borders of India-Pakistan.
02:33Even after independence,
02:35these villages are deprived
02:37of electricity.
02:39These two villages have not received
02:41electricity till date.
02:43The important thing is that Radha Nesda
02:45will give the world's largest solar park
02:47to the village.
02:49This solar park will provide electricity
02:51to the entire village.
02:53But the neighboring village
02:55is deprived of electricity.
02:57So, the locals have to struggle
02:59for electricity.
03:01In the evening,
03:03there is darkness in both the villages.
03:05In Lappadiya village,
03:0770 to 80 families are living.
03:09In Radha Nesda village,
03:11600 families are living.
03:13Out of which,
03:15in 50 houses,
03:176 months ago there was electricity.
03:19Out of which,
03:21550 families are living in darkness.
03:23They have only one wish
03:25that they get electricity from the village.
03:27There is no electricity in our village.
03:29For how many years?
03:31For 40 years.
03:33We have been left alone.
03:35What kind of trouble do you face
03:37without electricity?
03:39There is no electricity.
03:41Do you get electricity
03:43when a leader comes?
03:45When a leader comes,
03:47we don't understand him.
03:49When a leader comes,
03:51we go away.
03:53I can't see any electricity.
03:55What do you want?
03:57I want electricity.
03:59There is no electricity in our village.
04:01We don't have electricity.
04:03If we don't have electricity,
04:05how will we live in the dark?
04:07We can't even walk in the dark.
04:09We have no electricity.
04:11There is no electricity in our village.
04:13Is there electricity in the village?
04:15I don't have electricity in my village.
04:17For how many years you don't have electricity?
04:19I don't have electricity in my village.
04:21I don't even have a car.
04:23How difficult is it to get electricity in your village?
04:25It is very difficult.
04:27Whenever there is an emergency,
04:29the leaders of these villages
04:31keep talking big.
04:33But in these villages,
04:35no one has tried to provide electricity
04:37till date.
04:39So, even the locals
04:41have a hidden anger towards the government.
04:43On the other hand, the panchayat
04:45along with the government hospitals
04:47have provided electricity in the primary schools.
04:49But in the villages,
04:51even today, there is no electricity
04:53in the homes of the people
04:55who have to struggle
04:57for their livelihood.
04:59I want to tell the government
05:01that these villages
05:03have not had electricity
05:05for the last 75 years.
05:07I have tried to convince the government
05:09to provide electricity.
05:11But the government has promised me
05:13that they will provide electricity
05:15till date.
05:17How are you able to survive
05:19without electricity?
05:21In today's world,
05:23children can't even be born.
05:25There is no electricity.
05:27How can children be born in the dark?
05:29What is your demand?
05:31My demand to the government
05:33is that they have promised
05:35to provide electricity,
05:37but why are they not fulfilling it?
05:39The government has promised
05:41that they will provide electricity
05:43till date.
05:45But in this village,
05:47there is no electricity.
05:51How many people live in your village?
05:53There are around 600-700 people.
05:57The situation of the people
05:59who are struggling for their livelihood
06:01has been shown in different ways.
06:03In this village,
06:05people are not able to get water
06:07because of which people
06:09have been living in the dark
06:11for years.
06:13Let's see
06:15when the government
06:17will free these people from the darkness.
