Question

In which village did anti-arrack movement begin by Rosamma?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rosamma was born as the third child to Jakkampudi Pichhaiah and Subbamma in 1923. After the demise of Picchaiah, Subbbamma began living with her two sons and Rosamma in Dubagunta, about three decades ago.

Rosamma spearheaded the movement for a complete prohibition in 1992-1993. The outcry of hapless women against sale of arrack which was ruining their families turned into a statewide stir after Rosamma led the campaign in her village in 1991.

Inspired by an inspirational story ‘Seethamma kadha" (the story of Seethamma) taught as part of adult literacy programme in the night school in her village, the women of Dubagunta, led by Rosamma, destroyed the pots having toddy, after giving assurance to the families depending on the trade, in July, 1991.
