This is the story of a unique village, which has successfully overcome the alcohol menace and are going strong since more than 25 years !! It is also the story of how a people's agitation led to the closure of a licensed beer bar. What we heard was so fascinating that we had to make a documentary on it. Hope this gives you the inspiration and direction to solve the public health problem of alcohol addiction in your community as well. ही एका अनोख्या गावाची कहाणी आहे, ज्याने 25 वर्षांहून अधिक काळ दारूच्या प्रश्नावर यशस्वीपणे मात केली आहे !! एका जनआंदोलनामुळे परवाना असलेले बीअरबार कसे बंद झाले याचीही ही कथा आहे. आम्ही जे ऐकलं ते इतकं विलक्षण होतं की ताबडतोप आमच्या टीम ने डॉक्युमेंट्री बनवण्याचा संकल्प केला. आशा आहे की हे तुम्हाला तुमच्या समाजातील दारूच्या व्यसनाच्या समस्येचे निराकरण करण्यासाठी प्रेरणा आणि दिशा देईल. We are a NGO which works on educating youngsters why not to touch the 1st drink or the 1st smoke; and on building a social environment that promotes a healthy lifestyle rather than use of addictive substances.

Some people say that alcohol ban in Bihar is a failure. Some say it is a huge success. What is the truth? We went there and spoke to people from 4 districts of Bihar, to know better about the situation on ground. This is a short concise version of the documentary. We will hopefully release the full documentary in about a week. #bihar #biharnews #alcoholban [ audio source -------) youtube / @zenfulnotes ]
