Connecting Rural India - 4

Ah, we are about to enter a new year. When 2022 started I had only intended to host Connecting Rural India for one season, and that too up till the month of March. The journey, the challenges and the enthusiasm drove me to continue till the end of the year.

 

 This year was distinct from the previous ones. Can you guess how? This was due to the fact that I was concentrating on both creating and eliminating roads.

 

What inspired me to think about this?

Roads that are very close to or on rivers can be perilous for humans in numerous locations around India. These dangerous routes often result in accidents and can take you somewhere unexpected. I have personally encountered them several times and have wished to get rid of them.

In many ways, this season was greater than the last. It lasted for an entire year and spanned many states as well as countless towns and villages. I needed days to complete the entire number count.

Guess what? I have completed adding 500 roads to Google Maps. For me, this marks an incredible milestone.

 

Stats:

  • Duration - January 1, 2022 - December 31, 2022
  • Region - Parts of North India, West India and Central India.
  • States Covered - Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra.
  • Road Addition (Applied) - 336
  • Road Addition (Published) - 258
  • Road Removal (Applied) - 57
  • Road Removal (Published) - 8
  • Road Editing/Modification (Applied) - 6 
  • Road Editing/Modification (Published) - 3

 

Here is a video of me speaking on Connecting Rural India in October. As you can see, I'm outlining the operation of the CRI mission as well as my objectives for Season 4. I want to express my gratitude to Bharat Agrawal, my buddy, for helping me record this.

 

 

 I intend to travel to other states and take my mission to other countries. If you want to join me and take it worldwide, ping me at any time. Before I sign off, I want to wish everyone a very happy and prosperous new year.

Anshuk.
