The village faced scarcity of drinking water despite average rainfall, due to the insensitivity of villagers in saving and storing rainwater. The women had to walk long distances to collect water. Students and teachers discussed solutions and decided to raise awareness about water conservation and work with the gram panchayat to utilize a government scheme to construct a dam for rainwater storage. They conducted rallies and home visits to educate villagers, helped dig small tanks, and explained the importance of conserving water. Finally, the gram panchayat used a government scheme to construct a dam in the desert area, providing jobs to villagers in the process.

3. We “Imagined”
‘’JAL HI JEEWAN HAI’’
We discussed with fellow students and teachers to make a concensus to
work over this issue. We chose it because village is suffering from lack of
water while clean rain water was wasted and cause waterlogging too, which
can be tapped for a low cost effective solution.
The children decided to approach the teachers to find a solution of problem.
We were also required to approach an expert for more information and
suggestion.
Finally we decided to connect the nearest gram panchayat Sarpanch with
NAREGA Yojana.
