The poor tribal residents of Ghantraguda in Koraput may not have heard of the 'Mountain Man' Dashrath Manjhi, but like him took up the work of constructing a road cutting through the hills on their own to address their connectivity problems.

The villagers - men and women cut through a hill and cleared shrubs and have constructed a 6 km long kuchha road connecting Ghantraguda with Puki Chhack in the district.
