With hot summers in place, many parts of the country are facing water shortage and drought situations forcing the people to fend for themselves. ?
In Gujarat’s Dang district, a farmer dug a well for his village people.
Though Dang district receives heavy rainfall but due to its hilly and rocky terrain, there is a severe problem of drinking water during the four months of summer, India Today reported.
The 60-year-old farmer Gangabhai Pawar said that he tried to seek help from the village sarpanch. “But when his demands were not accepted, he himself started digging a well for water purposes,” he said.
Nearly two years, he dug a 32 feet well for his village.
The village Sarpanch Geetaben Gavit appreciated the hard work of the farmer and congratulated him.
Arjun Bagul, a local of the village said that this well will not only satisfy the thirst of the village but will also help in irrigation purposes.
