Nestled in the rural heart of Churu district, Lachhadsar village is making headlines for its remarkable transformation, spearheaded by its dynamic woman sarpanch, Dhapu Devi. The village now boasts an international-level cricket stadium and a school with classrooms designed like train coaches, complete with a state-of-the-art digital library. This transformation, which has turned Lachhadsar into a model village, is a testament to the power of vision and determination.
The Birth of an International-Level Cricket Stadium
What stands out in Lachhadsar today is a cricket stadium that rivals those found in cities. The stadium, named after Shaheed Bhagat Singh, was developed with expertise brought in from Delhi. Bermuda grass, commonly used in international sports arenas, was planted to ensure a professional playing surface. The grass installation was overseen by specialists, and a drip irrigation system was installed to maintain it. This ambitious project, which began two years ago, utilized seven bighas of land provided by the gram panchayat and was funded through the local budget and contributions from MP Rahul Kaswan.
The stadium, which cost approximately 63 lakh rupees, includes a running track, as well as facilities for cricket, volleyball, kho-kho, and football. Additional features such as boundary walls, a main gate, community restrooms, water fountains, an open gym, swings, tin sheds, and a yoga platform have also been constructed. Sarpanch Dhapu Devi credits Mahesh Kumar Ajadriwal, an AEN (Assistant Engineer) from the Ratangarh Panchayat Samiti, for his significant role in bringing the stadium to life.
A Digital Library for Modern Learning
In addition to the stadium, Lachhadsar’s government school has undergone a unique transformation. Classrooms have been designed to resemble train coaches, creating an engaging learning environment for the students. Moreover, a digital library, constructed at a cost of 20 lakh rupees, is now a hub for educational activities. The library, spread over 200 square yards, is fully air-conditioned and equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi, a water filtration plant, and comfortable furniture. It accommodates 51 students, providing them with a conducive space for study and preparation.
The Driving Forces Behind the Change
The inspiration to build the stadium came from former District Sports Officer Ishwar Singh Lamba, whose guidance and encouragement motivated the Lachhadsar leadership to pursue this project. The stadium’s design and construction were technically supported by Mahesh Kumar Ajadriwal, ensuring that the facility meets international standards. While the stadium is already operational, plans are in place to further enhance it with spectator stands, an indoor stadium, and advanced lighting, though these developments await additional funding.
A School Like No Other
The local school in Lachhadsar, once in a dilapidated state, has been revived with a fresh and innovative approach. After being closed during a period of school consolidations, the building was reopened as a Mahatma Gandhi English Medium School. The classrooms, now designed to resemble train compartments, have become a unique feature of the school, attracting around 200 students. The school, which reopened in 2022, now has a principal and 11 teachers who are committed to providing quality education in a modern and engaging environment.
A Legacy of Change
The efforts of Sarpanch Dhapu Devi and her team have not only transformed Lachhadsar but have also set a new benchmark for rural development. The international-level cricket stadium and the innovative school are symbols of what can be achieved with vision, determination, and the right support. Lachhadsar is no longer just a village; it is a beacon of progress and a testament to the power of grassroots leadership.

After years, these two friends met; at this time, one of them is serving as Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh while the other is serving as Haryana in charge for assembly polls. The emotions they reflected on stage spoke volumes of their friendship.
Meanwhile Poonia said, “I reached Jhalawar on the 52nd birth anniversary of Param Pujya Pragya Sagar Ji Maharaj and took his blessings. On this occasion, I had a spiritual meeting with old friend and Hon’ble Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Shri @DrMohanYadav51 ji. Mohan ji is still the same friend as when I first met him in Ujjain.

In a significant move to honour the legacy of Lord Krishna, the governments of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan have collaboratively launched the Shri Krishna Gaman Path Project. This ambitious project aims to transform several sacred sites associated with Lord Krishna’s life into prominent pilgrimage destinations, fostering spiritual tourism across the states. The project was officially announced by Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma during the auspicious occasion of Janmashtami in Ujjain.
A Journey through Sacred Sites
The Shri Krishna Gaman Path is set to connect seven temples spanning across Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. These temples are believed to be significant locations that Lord Krishna traversed on his journey to the Sandipani Ashram in Ujjain, where he received his education. This pathway will not only highlight the spiritual importance of these sites but will also aim to preserve and promote the cultural heritage associated with them.
During the Janmashtami celebrations, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma emphasized the historical and cultural importance of these sacred sites. He expressed that the Shri Krishna Gaman Path will serve as a divine corridor, connecting devotees with the holy footsteps of Lord Krishna. The project underscores the joint efforts of both state governments to develop and enhance these spiritual landmarks.
Key Temples in the Shri Krishna Gaman Path
The Shri Krishna Gaman Path will encompass the following temples:
Mathura, Uttar Pradesh: The birthplace of Lord Krishna, Mathura holds immense significance in the Hindu religion and will be a vital part of the pilgrimage route.
Shri Gokul Chandrama Ji, Kaman District, Deeg: Located in Rajasthan, this temple is revered for its association with Lord Krishna’s early years.
Shri Madan Mohan Ji, Kaman District, Deeg: Another important temple in Rajasthan, dedicated to Lord Krishna.
Shri Bihari Ji, Bharatpur: This temple is a key spiritual site that will be part of the Gaman Path.
Shri Madan Mohan Ji, Karauli: A revered temple in Rajasthan, known for its spiritual significance.
Shri Charbhuja Ji, Bundi: This temple is famous for its unique architecture and devotion to Lord Krishna.
Shri Mathuradhish Ji, Kota: Another temple dedicated to Lord Krishna, located in Kota, Rajasthan.
Shri Dwarkadhish Ji, Jhalawar: This temple, dedicated to the ruler of Dwarka, Lord Krishna, holds a special place in the hearts of devotees.
Ujjain: The Culmination of Krishna’s Education
Ujjain, known as the city of Mahakal, holds a special place in Lord Krishna’s life as it is home to the Sandipani Ashram, where he, along with his brother Balram and friend Sudama, received his education under the guidance of Guru Sandipani. During his visit, Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma visited the ashram and offered prayers, emphasizing the historical and spiritual significance of this site. The visit culminated with prayers at the Mahakal Temple, further cementing Ujjain’s importance in the Gaman Path.
What Tour planners are saying on this?
Sanjay Kaushik, the director of Rajputana Holiday Makers Pvt Ltd., offered his perspective on the impact of the Shri Krishna Gaman Path project. He noted that in the past, religious tourism was somewhat limited, with destinations like the Vaishnodevi temple being the primary focus for pilgrims. However, in recent years, there has been a noticeable shift, with more people visiting these temples not just for religious purposes, but also from a tourist’s point of view.
Kaushik emphasized that the creation of the Krishna Gaman Path has the potential to significantly broaden tourist interest. He believes that this initiative will not only enhance awareness among tourists but also foster cultural exchange between states. For instance, people from Madhya Pradesh will gain more insight into the rich heritage of Rajasthan and vice versa.
Drawing a comparison with the Ayodhya Ram Mandir, Kaushik pointed out how the number of tourists surged after its inauguration, underscoring the transformative power of such religious projects. He is optimistic that the Krishna Gaman Path could have a similar impact, driving tourism and empowering local communities.
A Collaborative Effort for Spiritual Tourism
The Shri Krishna Gaman Path Project is not just about creating a pilgrimage route but also about promoting religious, cultural, and social tourism in the region. The governments of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan are working closely to develop these sites, ensuring that they become prime destinations for devotees and tourists alike. This initiative is expected to not only boost spiritual tourism but also contribute to the preservation of India’s rich cultural heritage.
As the project progresses, the states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh will see a transformation in their spiritual landscapes, with the Shri Krishna Gaman Path serving as a divine journey for devotees, connecting them with the sacred footsteps of Lord Krishna.

A few experts from an exclusive interview of Anisha:
You have served the media and now you are into fashion? How did you get the inspiration of foraying into a new sector after spending six years in the media?
Ans: After spending years in the media industry, I felt the need to do something of my own and be my own boss. That desire led me to start my venture.

Silver was the perfect choice to bring that vision to life.

Our competitive prices also make our products a great gifting option. The best part has to be when customers tell me that other people appreciated and enquired about the Vāma pieces they were wearing.
Any challenges?
Ans: Like any new venture, we’ve faced our share of challenges. One of the biggest challenges has been building brand recognition in a crowded market. Ensuring consistent quality while scaling up production has also been a learning curve. Additionally, balancing traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design requires careful attention to detail. But each challenge has been a learning opportunity, helping us refine our processes and grow stronger as a brand.
Way forward?
Ans: Moving forward, the focus would be on expanding our product range and reaching a wider audience. We are also looking at enhancing our online presence.
Your message to women entrepreneurs?
My message for women entrepreneurs would be: Just go for it! There will always be doubts—both from within and from others—but trust your gut and move forward with your plans to build your own business. There’s nothing more satisfying than being your own boss. You’ll never know the heights of success you can reach without at least giving it a shot. Embrace the challenges, learn from the setbacks, and keep pushing forward. The journey itself is rewarding, and the potential for success is limitless if you’re willing to take that first step.
