Jaipur, Nov 23 (IANS) The accuracy of voter rolls remains the most important pillar of India’s democratic structure, and booth level officers (BLOs) are the backbone of the exercise, distributing forms door-to-door, verifying records and completing technical tasks such as digitization.
During the Special Intensive Revision of Voter Lists (SIR) – 2026, many BLOs across Rajasthan have set inspiring examples of commitment, often working under harsh conditions.
Among these, Masuda’s Kamla and Shri Ganganagar’s Samesta have emerged as symbols of dedication and women empowerment.
BLO Kamala of Part No. 215 of Masuda assembly constituency displayed extraordinary determination while traveling through difficult terrain in Beawar district.
Despite challenges ranging from bad roads and poor mobile networks to complete absence of transportation in remote villages, he continued his work without hesitation.
Walking about 4 kilometers daily from Sobdi village to scattered settlements, she would spend her day visiting households for form collection and return in the evening for complete digitization – often with limited connectivity.
By November 18, Kamala achieved 100 percent completion in both form distribution and digitization. On November 19, instead of stopping after meeting their goals, they started helping neighboring booth BLOs with their form work and digitization, strengthening the spirit of teamwork and community support.
At Sri Ganganagar, BLO Samesta balanced challenging responsibilities at home and in the field alike.
A second grade teacher at Raipur School (7 LNP), she managed part number 160 of Ganganagar assembly constituency while taking care of her 7-month-old daughter and 5-year-old son.
With the support of her husband Hoshiar Singh, she resumed field duties with full determination despite the workload at home. He distributed counting forms to 983 voters and completed digitization of 806 forms within the stipulated time.
Her ability to balance motherhood with administrative duties stood out as a remarkable example of willpower and dedication. He said that the strong support of the people in his constituency made the process more efficient and increased the quality of work.
For his efforts, he received the ‘Outstanding Work Award’ from the District Election Officer, in recognition of his perseverance and commitment.
The stories of both Kamala and Samesta represent more than individual achievements – they illustrate the extraordinary results that come when women accept responsibility with courage and commitment.
Chief Electoral Officer Naveen Mahajan lauded their efforts during a video conference, saying, “Achieving the target while fulfilling responsibilities at home and in the field is truly commendable and exemplary.”
His work underlines the extent to which democratic processes depend on grassroots dedication.
