Conservation
On January 25, Niranjan
Hinge organized a programme to build a check dam on a stream adjoining the
jungle around 300 metres from Turia village. A team of 8 people, including
youths and school children, joined hands with Niranjan to build the dam. The
water body will benefit both domestic livestock (in the day) and wild animals
(at night). Spotted deer and sambar are regularly spotted in the area while
jackals are spotted more occasionally. Photos below.

education programmes in 12 schools in our area of operations.
