Solaced after drinking water at waterless place: Press Club Award Winner Amai Malinga Naik
Speaking after receiving the Press Club Award of 2018, Progressive farmer Amai Mahalinga Naika said, "People mocked me when I began to dig the suranga. But now, I feel solace when I see people coming to that waterless area getting drinking water," he said.
"Landlord Mahabala Bhat had gifted me 2 acres of barren land. Even after digging three surangas, water had remained elusive. People mocked me. But I did not stop. I resumed digging. Finally got water. Then I started growing paddy. Later I grew areca nut palms, coconut trees, cashew trees, banana saplings, and pepper vines," he added.
