Everyone in the village is a YouTuber. #WRITEAPAGEADAY

 . 


When we say Chhattisgarh, we immediately remember the Naxal problem and the backward districts where there is no infrastructure. But the Tulsi village of that state has been attracting many people of the country with another interesting thing in recent times. Leading media houses went to the village and interviewed the performance of the young people there and showed it to the outside world. The village of Tulsi, with a population of 4000, immediately attracted everyone's attention. The village, which is about 33 km from Raipur, is known as the village of YouTubers. There's a YouTuber in every house. From children to the elderly, everyone is an artist!

As you enter the village, you will see some people holding digital cameras, smartphones, microphones and shooting them busy in their work. They create different types of videos. Videos are made in many genres such as education, entertainment, knowledge. However, the rule is not to make indecent videos so that the whole family can watch it under any circumstances. Older people tell how the festivals and pubs used to be. Devotional stories are told. Most of the serials are made with humorous themes. There are also educational videos for children. Some are related to technology.

Once the script is ready, they will decide which actor is best suited for the role. All the artists are the same. Although there are 1000 YouTubers in the whole city, the most popular ones are up to forty. The first two channels were launched in 2016 by Jai Verma and Gyanendra Shukla. One is to teach the children, the other is to teach them the technical aspects. They do not even know that if these video channels are a hit at first, they will get money. Copyright is not known. It was a trial and error method. As time passed by, with the earning of twenty to thirty thousand per month, other young people also started a channel at home.

Being Chhattisgarh, Nimaga Chhattisgarh, Fun Tapri and some music channels are well known. They say they are appreciated by many in far-flung areas. A girl named Pinky Sahu got the opportunity to act on the big screen while acting in these channels. It is noteworthy that all these YouTubers met the District Collector and asked him to set up a studio in their village for their technical use. He sanctioned the studio at a cost of Rs 25 lakh. With this, YouTubers are getting editing, music and other modern facilities. This improves the quality of the videos. At one time, it was difficult for girls to pass through here. In such a situation, YouTubers are now getting money and fame by making up for the lack of artists.
