Farmer unsure about accepting Padma Shree award
Shortlisted Padma Shree awardee, octogenarian farmer Simon Oraon on Saturday, said that he is undecided on whether he should accept the award, and is allowing other farmers and villagers to take the final call. He criticised the state government for not doing much for the farmers. Oraon, also known as 'Jharkhand's waterman', is being recognised for contributing towards environment conservation.
