Ajit Singh is a journalist and Community Correspondent.

The prodigal son of Silchar, Assam, Oinam Ajit left the village where he was born, with its mud roads and lack of high schools and doctors and moved to the nearest city to complete his education. But once he got his degree, the village called him back. Going against the wishes of his family, Ajit became a journalist with a desire to report on how time stood still for villages like his. But he found his voice being subsumed by the mainstream media. He then found the light in community video with which he could reach into his own roots and reach out into the world.
