Colvenkars should remember that they have an obligation to hand over a good village to the next generation. We should keep a watchful eye on any unnecessary developments/concretisation which can reduce the green cover, pollute/destroy water bodies. We can preserve low lying areas, fields, lakes, etc and still keep the village free from pollution, traffic, congestion, flooding, lower water tables, etc. and yes there is constant threat from greedy real estate developers/individuals in alliance with certain highly corrupt politicians. All that is needed is for more Colvenkars to take a more active interest in their village and even attending the gramsabhas, There are sometimes genuine reasons for not attending which can be understandable but these can be as exceptions. The more people attend and take interest in the affairs of the village, the more the village can move in the right direction else it will only go in a direction which I am sure that majority of us would not want for us or for the future generations.
