Narendrabhai Himanshu Patel, Sarpanch of Punsari village.
Punsari is a village located in Sabarkantha district in the state of Gujarat, India.
There is a 65 KV sub-station that supplies power to the village. The Sarpanch aims at getting Wi-Fi connected to the entire village so that the villagers can use unlimited internet once they purchase the modem from the panchayat office.
The panchayat in this village has made efforts to provide the best possible facilities to students. Air-conditioners and CCTV cameras are installed in the primary schools. Apart from schools, 25 CCTV's are installed at prime junctions of the village so that the litterbugs can be spotted and punished.
Mini-buses are used for transport purpose within the village. The panchayat has started a bus facility called Atal Express for women which is used for the import of milk.
For communication purpose, 120 water-proof speakers are installed, which are used by the Sarpanch to inform the people of new schemes and to make important announcements. The speakers are also used to play bhajans, shlokas, and slogans of Gandhiji.
The total estimate for this development work was 14 crore (US$2.53 million) and the state and central governments provided support for the same. For his efforts, the Sarpanch Himanshu Narendrabhai Patel was awarded with the best Gram Sabha award at the third National Panchayati Raj Day held at New Delhi. In November 2011, he received the best Gram Panchayat award in Gujarat at the hands of Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
