Dhoker Jhara Village, India

We as a community are doing well. We were facing issues related to whether the seeds we sowed were good. Villagers are still using the same methods they were taught from their ancestors, so they were not getting the best result. This led to lack of proper harvesting. Half of the seeds didn’t even grow after lots of hard work, so now change is essential. So this time, villagers were taught to use the good seeds.

In Khairbari Village, we have been focusing on cultivating healthy lifestyles and we succeeded, to some extent, but villagers sometimes go back to their old habits. After that, we have planned to prioritize some of the most urgent work in the village, like making proper drainage before the arrival of monsoon, making a garbage crate in every house, and making a proper and well-arranged place for washing utensils, drying utensils, and bathing.

In our weekly meetings, the deplorable condition of a village road leading to the Jaldhaka River was often discussed. During rainy season, this village road is difficult to walk due to heavy mud and waterlogging. Villagers take this path to reach the nearby Jaldhaka River and the agricultural land on the bank of the river.

Villagers of Jatapara were encouraged not to go bathroom in the open because they would pollute the environment. This will cause many diseases and problems. Their government started a program for villagers to build bathrooms in front of their homes. So, they were told to build a bathroom, but they were unable to do it on their own.
