00:00At a time when journalism faces a credibility crisis, one of the questions asked is,

00:06can journalism make an impact, a real difference?

00:10Well, yes, it can, if you do real journalism.

00:13Last week on this show, where we believe in amplifying the voices of people,

00:18especially in our Get Real India section, taking up issues to awaken the system,

00:24it can, at times, make a difference.

00:26That's exactly what happened when just days after we reported on this show

00:31on the struggles of a tribal-dominated village in Andhra Pradesh,

00:36how the young students were struggling to reach their school because there were no roads.

00:41Guess what? The officials have come in and initiated road construction.

00:47They've also sanctioned a school now to help tribal children.

00:51And, in fact, Nara Lokesh, the minister in Andhra Pradesh, has thanked India today for raising awareness on the issue.

01:00Sometimes, I'm happy to say, we can make a difference.

01:04I thank my colleague, Apoorva Jayachandran, for doing that story.

01:08Take a look at this special report, and then you'll know what it means to have news without the noise,

01:15sense without sensation, credibility without chaos.

01:18Thanks for watching. Stay well, stay safe. Good night, Shubhraatri.

01:22Jaihin Namaskar.

01:30Solu Bangu, a tribal village in Andhra Pradesh, is celebrating.

01:35The village, home to 16 families, is finally getting a road.

01:39Just days after India Today reported about their plight.

01:42Jaihin Namaskar.

01:42What?

01:43and there's a lot of people from maybe 150 cars

01:47at that time.

01:49And then,

01:50a new one.

01:51And then,

01:52the people in the south as well,

01:54the people who are visiting the country

01:56and they're the other people especially.

01:58They're the people who are so big,

02:01but also they're the people of the country.

02:04We are the people of the country

02:06and we are a really good brother.

02:08They're the people of the country,

02:10they're the people of the country.

02:11They're the people who are working with the people of the country.

02:12The India Today report revealed how children of Solubongu risk their lives crossing the

02:20Raiwara canal and trek nearly four kilometres through dense forests just to attend class

02:26in the neighbouring Tamarava village.

02:28The troubles will soon be over.

02:32State Minister Nara Lokesh in a message posted on X said that a makeshift school has been

02:37started for primary children.

02:39He said students of higher grades are being tagged to a nearby convent school.

02:45Till the time the new roads are ready, the state government will also provide transportation

02:50for the children to the nearest school.
