Village Mitra
One volunteer per village — a student or a teacher first — who keeps the village page true: photos, the school, the sarpanch, the jatara and the bus times.
Who can be a Mitra?
Anyone with a verified mobile number who knows the village: school and college students, teachers, residents, and people living away who visit. Staff approve each Mitra; the role is recognition, not power — a Mitra cannot remove anyone's content or see private details.
The five tasks
Each task is a real part of the village page. The checklist ticks itself from what the page already shows.
- A photo of the village (gallery or cover)
- School information on the page
- The sarpanch, from the official record or a verified claim
- The village jatara or festival, listed as an event
- Bus times on the utilities board
Certificate
The certificate prints once you are the approved Mitra and all five tasks are done.
How approval works: staff grant the existing “ambassador” village role; the badge and certificate follow from that role.
