They are not registered workers of any big construction company, nor do they have state-of-the-art equipment and technology. They have strong arms, blood ties and the will to do something in their own villages. Every year, when development work starts, the daily lives of these brothers change.

10 brothers from the same family are currently working on development projects in the district, from remote to accessible. This unity and hard work means that not only big machines are needed for development, but also loyalty to work and mutual harmony.

The brothers from the old family of Alledi and Chaukagada Lamagada tols of Ramaroshan-5 in the district are currently busy working on development projects. They belong to ordinary families. Their main means of livelihood is farming and animal husbandry. The brothers have completed their secondary education (SEE) and class 12 studies. These young men, who learned to read and write from their village school and dreamed of pursuing higher education, are finally working as laborers on projects while taking care of the farming that their parents have been doing due to lack of employment.

Every year from Falgun to the end of Ashar, agreements are made for the implementation of projects as per the budget allocated by the government bodies. Taking advantage of that opportunity, a team of 10 brothers sets out to work. They are all between the ages of 20 and 27. This year, these brothers are working as laborers on various projects in the district headquarters Mangalsen, Panchadeval Binayak Municipality and Bannigadhi Jayagarh Rural Municipality. As soon as the contractor gets the construction work, they reach there to work. Sometimes, seeing the passion and honesty of these brothers towards their work, construction entrepreneurs themselves come looking for them. And, after meeting them, they are assigned the work.

One of the ten brothers is 22-year-old Padam Bahadur Budha. The old man said that he has been going out to work all over the district with his siblings and relatives for three years. They do not rest from the dry season of Falgun to the rainy season of Asar. They work under pressure to complete the work at the end of the financial year. According to Padam, the earnings are also satisfactory in the five-month period.

He said that the average monthly income is up to 50 thousand rupees depending on the pressure of work and hard work. Most of his friends from the village reach various cities in India in search of employment as soon as they reach old age. Recently, many have gone to the Gulf and third countries for employment. He said that they can also earn good income by working on small development projects within the district. ‘As soon as they reach old age, friends rush to get passports,’ he said, ‘the village has become like a youthless place.’ We decided to work in our own district instead of going anywhere else.' He said that working in our own place will bring us closer to our families and make it easier to commute.

According to Padam, they do work related to rural infrastructure. They build irrigation canals in the hilly areas, embankments and footpaths to protect settlements from the mountain streams during winter and rain. In addition, they repair roads and footpaths destroyed by floods and landslides, build small school buildings, walls, and implement small and fragmented projects that need to be completed by the local level in a short time.

While busy with their work, they are also preparing for the teaching service. Local Bal Bahadur Budha is currently studying in the fourth year of his bachelor's degree (B.Ed) at Achham Multiple Campus. He is preparing for public service and teacher service. He has also passed the lower secondary level teaching license examination conducted by the Teachers Service Commission. Bal Bahadur has managed to balance these dual responsibilities, the dream of becoming a teacher on one hand and the hard work required to earn a living on the other.
