His determination became even stronger and he decided to build a road with the help of his family and villagers, without taking any aid from the government. The family members, who have been struggling since six decades in this remote village, agreed to support him. A sum of Rs. 4 Lac was arranged from his retired school teacher father’s one month pension, his brother’s and sister in law’s one month salary each, his younger brother’s entire first salary and Pame’s five months’ salary. The amount was sufficient to kick start the project but more money was still required. The facebook was used as a rescue tool in that situation. A page was created, seeking donations and the overwhelming response was received from all over the world and contributed Rs. 1.2 Lakh.
The villagers made their signification contributions based on their capabilities by providing food and accommodation to the workers, by supplying fuel for the earthmovers and also being a part of manpower for the project. The donation centers have been set up in Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Guwahati, Shillong and Dimapur and NRIs from Canada, USA and the UK have been sending their contributions for the project named as Tamenglong-Haflong Road. As a token of thanks and appreciation for the support received from world wide, a monolith will be erected on the completion of the road with the name of all donors.
