On October 27, Bandu organized an anti-plastic programme at Katwal
in which 16 villagers, 4 teachers and 26 students participated. Bandu explained
the harmful effects of plastic on the environment and the need to keep plastic
litter and waste buried so that they aren’t blown away into jungle areas. The
children first cleared the main road of the village of plastic litter and waste
and later cleared the school premises. Photos below.
On October 14,
Bandu organized a programme at Adegaon to clear the common area and main road
of the village. 5 villagers, 2 teachers and 24 students from the village joined
Bandu in the programme. A similar programme was organized on October 23 at Dewada in which 7 youths, 2
teachers and 19 students from the village participated.
On October 16, Bandu organized a programme at Sitarampeth to
clear the area around a well. Water had spilled over while people drew from the
well. This had stagnated, leading to proliferation of mosquitoes and insects.
Our team cleared the area, removing scum and organic growth and dug a canal to
drain away the water. 3 youths from the village joined Bandu in the
programme.
On October 20. Bandu organized a programme to clean and
de-silt a water tank next to a hand pump at Kondegaon. The tank, which received
spillover water from the hand pump, had become clogged with mud and organic
waste. 3 youths joined Bandu in the programme. As the hand pump is on the
outskirts of the village, the water tank is used by domestic cattle in the day. Photos below.
