In Raj Samadhiyala village, Rajkot, Gujarat, there is no dearth of water, every child goes to school, and has its very own code of conduct _ Raj samadhiyala Penal Code. Villagers pay fines for violating the rules of this code - anything from Rs 1 for throwing garbage on the street to Rs 500 for going to the police to settle disputes.
