          --School children shows very good  obedience, it is really amazing   
          --Main problem of that village is monkeys.,  same we are facing in our farm also, but my feeling is, although problem is  there with monkeys, they are not trying to overcome, simply highliting the  problem.
           -- most of them are alcoholic and do  not do work, simply depend upon women and govt free schemes.
