The Delhi protest taught us invaluable management skills. Our future agitations would be stronger and better organised. — Ratanjot Kaur, A Sangrur Protester

There are many youngsters, who have proved their managements skills without having any required qualification. They were driven only by passion to save the farming community. The Tribune spoke to various groups and persons who have been involved the agitation since its beginning.

Gharachon is a big village of Sangrur district and youngsters here worked hard to arrange ration, milk and other essential commodities for protesters at New Delhi. A group of youngsters from village ensured the supply of 160 litres of milk from the village every week to Delhi protest sites. “We collected and supplied milk to Delhi sites on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday each week with the help of vehicles and trains. We did it with the support of all villagers, who contributed wholeheartedly,” said Raghuvir Singh told The Tribune from the Tikri border while removing a tent. Similarly, teams of Harigarh villagers not only ensured the required supply to Delhi border, but also contributed for Badbar toll plaza protest. Many strongly believe that the yearlong protest has given them required training and they will play a vital role in future agitations.
