Which village in Maharashtra developed the slogan: "We have our government in Delhi and Mumbai. But in our village we ourselves are the government"?
Mendha-lekha
Mendha-lekha, a Gond tribal village in Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra, became famous for its gram sabha self-rule movement led by activists such as Devaji Tofa and Mohan Hirabai Hiralal, coining the slogan Delhi Mumbaila amache sarkar, gavat amhich sarkar to affirm village-level sovereignty.
In 2009 it became the first village in India to be granted community forest rights under the Forest Rights Act, 2006. Hiware Bazar and Ralegan Siddhi are known for watershed-led rural transformation under Popatrao Pawar and Anna Hazare, while Pachgaon is another CFR village but is not the source of this slogan.
Hence, the correct answer is Mendha-lekha.
