Tourists visiting the world famous Khajuraho need no not be bothered about guides anymore as Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), has introduced Audio Compass which provide authentic recorded information on the 1000 year old monument constructed by Chandela dynasty.

Background

Ruled by the Chandelas until the sixteenth century, the area of Bundelkhand area comprises the districts of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh -- Damoh, Sagar, Chhattarpur, Panna, Tikamgarh, part of Satna, and right up to Gwalior, from Madhya Pradesh; Jalaun, Jhansi, Hamirpur, Mahoba, Lalitpur and Banda districts of Uttar Pradesh. Damoh is well-known for the legend of Rani Durgawati who fought bravely against the Mughals. Today, the district is also known for its sanctuaries like Nauradehi Sanctuary in Tendukheda block and Rani Durgawati Sanctuary in Jabera block.

Sangathan Profile

Based in the town of Tejgarh in Damoh, the Bundelkhand Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan (BMKSS) was formed in July 2007, with an aim towards ensuring the ownership of forest land by tribals, dalits and people from other backward castes, as per the Forest Rights Act of 2006. The sangathan was earlier supported by the Grameen Vikas Samiti, but owing to differences in principles, it became a separate entity in 2007. Education and the public distribution system (PDS) are also among the core areas of the sangathan's work. Currently, it has taken a strong stance against alignment with any political party, as it sees itself as a strong opposition to the administration, no matter which party is in power.
