I came to know from PRI & Citizens of Banakhandi,Mahalpada & Simili GPs that the radio volunteers are also moving around different village & also collecting & broadcasting the voice of village people in Radio Namaskar.It has encouraged the rural masses. I expect more help from Radio Namaskar in all parts of our activities.”
‘Education to All’ the motto of Sarvasikhya Aviyan was a dream in the village named Tailo of Kadua Nuagaon Panchayat of 
Kakatpur Block of Puri district. Neither was Primary School nor Anganwadi Kendra ,for which all the children of that village were far from schooling whereas there was a School 2 km far from the village, was very hard task for the children to go and study there.
As most of the villagers were of laborer classes and unable to send their children far for study, the villagers had been demanding before administration for a school in their village.
Out of 266 children of 44 families, 51 children were of School age out of which 25 children were found unrolled in any school or anganwadi and rest of children were not going to School due to 2 km far distance of the nearest school. It is seen that 16 children were not getting facilities from the nearest Anganwadi centre as well as 9 children are unrolled. This information was repeatedly broadcasted by Radio Namaskar. Finally administration declared a new project school, made functional from 24th May,2010.
