So here I am almost 2 years later, like I promised, back in the village of Amrita Khas to give them back what I got from their photos and meet them once again to gift them the photograph which won the prize.

A big thanks to Ashish Gangwar and Kirandeep for making it possible.

In December 2021, we had visited Amrita Khas village in Pilibhit district of Uttar Pradesh as part of our Village Visit during the 96th Foundation Course.

As part of studying the village, we got to interact with a lot of villagers and documented their lifestyle.

[Jayakrishnan V M IAS @JayakrishnanIAS]

I had promised the villagers that whatever I get from the photographs from the village, will be given back to them.

One of the photographs went on to be selected as the second best photograph in the photography competition in LBSNAA.

Any serious UPSC aspirant will be familiar with the name OLIVE RIDLEY TURTLES.🙂

It is indeed a lovely coincidence that I could experience the arrival of Olive Tidley Turtles for mass nesting this year in the very Tahsil where I currently hold charge. 😊😊
