Naxal-Free India: Malewada Village Transforms, From Fear to Development

• Malewada, a former Naxal-affected village in North Gadchiroli, is experiencing significant transformation and development.
• Once marked by Naxal violence, including the burning of schools and government offices, the village now boasts a modern school and library.
• The library, funded by the central government, has helped over 25 youths secure government jobs, including Nazmeen Sheikh who joined the Police Department.
• The 'Police Dada Lora Khidki' (Police Brother's Window) initiative at the Police Assistance Center provides crucial government services and resolves public grievances, fostering trust.
• Similar developmental changes are observed across Naxal-affected regions in Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh, with police officers affirming a commitment to sustained progress.
