The community people of Tepra village of Domchanch block have given voluntary contributions in the making of check dams of sandbags. Due to erratic rainfall in the past few years, community people of the village are facing a shortage of water for domestic and agricultural use. Our technical team has accessed the flow and estimated the width, height, and appropriate location of the check dam. The idea of the check dam is to reduce the flow of streams and extend the availability of water beyond the Kharif season. It will also help in water percolation and will help in recharging the water level. We met with the villagers and asked for their collective action. They decided to give a voluntary contribution to the making of the structure. These steps also revive the collective spirit of villagers and will also help in increasing crop intensity.
Today we have distributed ration among 100 marginalized people who are either on medicines or are helpless or are widow to provide immediate support to them.
