Bastar Village Celebrates First Mobile Network Connectivity
A remote village called Kondapalli in Chhattisgarh, India, celebrated for the first time when they got mobile network connectivity.
The whole village, including women and children, danced and sang with joy.

The government has been working to bring these services to the village and others like it.
They've also built new roads and upgraded old phone towers.
