He used social media to spread the word, and he also met with local leaders and businesses. Pame's campaign was a success. He was able to raise over Rs. 50 lakhs, which was enough to build a 100 km road. The road was completed in 2014, and it has had a major impact on the lives of the people of Tousem.

The road has made it much easier for people to get around. It has also opened up the area to economic development. Businesses have started to come to Tousem, and there are now more employment opportunities.
