Meet the 36-year-old MTech qualified Prajnaparamita Kar. She was an Assistant Professor in an engineering college in Bhubaneswar but now she is in the election fray and put her candidature for post of sarpanch.
She has completed her BTech in Marine Engineering and later studied MTech in Mechanical Engineering. Later, she joined Bhubaneswar-based NM Institute of Engineering and Technology. She had been working as Assistant Profession in Mechanical Engineering Department for last 10 years. Kar has filed her nomination for Sarpanch post of Badakula Gram panchayat under Mahakalapada block.
"Development of my panchayat is not up to the mark despite generous flow of Government funds through various schemes. There is rampant corruption. Time has come now to give my service to my fellow panchayat people. I have decided to enter politics to ensure the development of my gram panchayat and serve the people of my gram panchayat,” said Kar.
“My first priority would be to restore the social fabric in the area. I would give importance on basic education and would ensure the tiny tots would get good education and moral values,” Kar said.
She is sure that she would win the sarapach post as the locals would definitely cast their votes in her favour as she is highly educated and has calibre to develop the panchayat than other candidates.
