He is also making an effort to construct a school in his village.

“I have spent some memorable years in my village. It is the place from where my cinematic journey started.  This village has given me a lot and I feel it’s my duty to contribute to its development. I am trying my best to speak to the higher authorities to get permission. I am escalating one problem at a time. After getting the permission for a community hall, our next target is to get  permission for the school. I am hoping that with my efforts, the problems of the village are solved completely,” said Manoj.
