9. Village level Disciplinary Committee (VLDC): The need for Village level Disciplinary Committee (VLDC) was felt necessary after prolonged discussions in several meetings. The need was felt due to many reasons that cripple and decay our society today. It is observed that today our society is ridden with indiscipline, laziness, addictions like alcoholism, drug abuse, falling standard of education, lethargy among youths and unemployment. Due to lack of proper direction and guidance, the youths which are considered backbone of the society is indulging in unwanted and unproductive activities such as gambling, smoking, boozing and spreading indiscipline among younger lots.
The age old culture of respecting elders and loving younger ones are missing in our characters and behaviors. The morality and disciplines have become a trait difficult to find in our younger generations. The collective decision making and living together in complete peace and harmony with nature in olden days are now thing of past. The mindless deforestation, fishing and hunting are destroying our eco system. The flora and fauna which was our assets in earlier days are now quickly vanishing. The perennial rivers and streams are drying up due to deforestation of catchment areas. All these things will ultimately lead to a social unrest in future where our children will fight with each other for survival. The scarcity of resources will create chaos in the society and a time may come when we will lag behind in every sphere of life in compare to other Tribes of the State.
Therefore, it is important that we take positive steps to redeem our lost glory and chart a path for sustainable socio-economic growth where energies of our youths are engaged positively for peace and prosperity. We need to evolve a system, where all our people are stakeholders in protection of our Forests, Rivers and wild animals for posterity. We need to evolve a model where our Guests/tourists are treated with respect and create avenues out of our hospitality. We need to work hard and work collectively to harness our resources such as land, rivers and forests for sustainable development maintaining perfect balance with our environment.
For that we need to have a paradigm shift in our attitude and solve our own problems synergizing our approach and efforts instead of depending on outer interventions. Hence, the need for a Village Level Disciplinary Committee to coordinate and put in action our collective thought process that has manifested into resolutions adopted by the Villagers themselves on 6th December, 2012 at Basar as follows:
(i) The Youth presidents/secretaries of respective village shall lead in implementation of disciplinary actions. All the youths of the villages shall be volunteers in enforcing the orders of VLDC. They shall be assisted and advised by HGBs, GBs and Village Elders and all the Panchayat Members.
