We are the solution

Finally, after a struggle of two long years the panchayat (local village governing body) agreed to set up the pump and pipeline to the water tank while Seva Mandir-the NGO supported the effort by constructing the water tank and setting up the distribution line and taps. And now the whole system is being governed by the local community of Bheels and they have the fixed monthly rentals on each household for water usages which contributes to their own mohalla (cluster) account which they have opened in the bank which they utilize for repair and maintenance. This could have been possible only through the grit and determination of the community and their desire to develop something for them.
