- The groundwater of this village was contaminated with heavy metals. The reason was that the untreated wastewater of Daurala industries was leaching to the groundwater table.
- The NGO conducted a door to door survey of the health status of the residents and came out with a report.
- The organisation, the village community and people’s representatives sat together to find out sustainable solutions to the health problem.
- The industrialists showed a keen interest towards checking the deteriorating ecology.
- The overhead water tank’s capacity in the village was enhanced and a 900m extra pipeline was laid to supply potable water to the community.
- The silted pond of the village was cleaned and recharged by desilting it.
- Large quantity of silt was removed paving way to large quantity of water so that it recharged the aquifers.
- Rainwater harvesting structures have been constructed at different places which has helped in diluting the contaminants of the groundwater after the monsoons. 1000 trees have also been planted which have improved the environment.
