Conservation work
Our team organised a shramdaan on February 14 at Ambadi village to dig a soak pit next to a hand pump near the village school. The pump had a lot of stagnant water around it. The pit will take spillover water from the pump and recharge the water table. 25 students from Government Primary School, Ambadi and 2 teachers joined hands with conservation officer Anoop Awasthi and field assistant Niranjan Hinge in digging the pit.
