The village of Hiware Bazaar in Ahmednagar district had a severe water shortage. The villagers worked together to solve the water shortage and the problem of animal feed. Because of their efforts, Hiware Bazaar now has green and healthy surroundings. Many other villages also face water shortages, and it’s important to find out why and suggest solutions.

2. Khudawadi Village: Cleaning Through Shramdaan:

In Khudawadi village, people cleaned their village by doing 'shramdaan,’ which means contributing their labour voluntarily.

• Everyone in the village participated in the cleaning effort. They dealt with wastewater and used garbage to make manure using vermiculture.
• To improve hygiene and sanitation, a toilet was built in each house. These actions helped make the village cleaner and healthier.
• Both examples show that when people work together, they can solve big problems and improve their communities.
