Drinking Water Project in Rajasthan

One of the most serious problems in India is access to clean drinking water and sanitation. Nearly 226 million people in the Country do not have access to safe drinking water. 

If we compare water supply in rural and urban India, then half of the water supply is contaminated with toxic bacteria and in most of the rural areas even people do not have this option to enjoy. They have to walk mile during brutal cold, summer and spring to collect water for their household use and they do not have an idea the water that seems transparent is safe to consume or not.

To culminate this problem in the Bhanskadi Village in Jhalwar District of Rajasthan, we at the Rehab India Foundation installed hand pump for public use. 

Looking Back:

Earlier, there were two hand pumps in the village. Among them, one was not functioning. And, 300 families were dependent on one hand pump which was not sufficient. People had to queue for long to store water for drinking and household use. To curb the problem, Rehab installed another hand pump in the village.  

Inauguration of Borjumla Community Center

“I would like to share my gratitude to inaugurate Rehab Community Centre as it has contributed immensely in the village development process and I assure all who are present in the function that Panchayat will give all the possible support for Rehab’s programmes” asserted Samjad S K, Assistant Pradhan of Panchayat on the day of inauguration of Borjumla Community Centre.

The programme celebrated on Dec 15 much enthusiastically with the keen support of Rehab team and people of Borjumla. Overviewing, the village consist approx 3000 people and has limited resources. Major population is dependent on agriculture. There is only one school and healthcare centre with unsatisfactory services.

Meeting with Secretary of Rehab, Mohammed Remiz said “Before two years, the village was in worse condition. There were a number of problems those were directly or indirectly related to education and employment. The first step, we started free tuition classes in a temporary shed. Now we have gain people belief that’s why today we are able to establish fully equipped community centre and a large number of people are present to support us to channelize different programmes.”
