Conservation
On November 11, Bandu organized a programme at Kondegaon to
clear the area around a well. Water had spilled over while people drew from the
well. Over a period of time, this had created a small marshy area, 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. 4 youths from
the village and 12 students from the village’s Zilla Parishad Primary School
joined Bandu in the programme.
Another programme was organized on November 15 at Dewada to
clean the area around a hand pump. 5 youths from the village joined Bandu in
this programme.
On November 12, Bandu organized an anti-plastic programme at
Katwal in which 4 unemployed youths, 2 teachers and 25 students of the
village’s Zilla Parishad Primary School 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 by the wind into jungle
areas. The children first cleared the main road of the village of plastic
litter and waste and later cleared the school premises as well. They also
cleared the common area of the village.
One other anti-plastic programme
was organized at Dewada on November 22.
On November 15, Bandu organized a programme at Moharli to
follow up on plantation of saplings done during the monsoon season. This is to
ensure that saplings planted during the monsoon are live and have sufficient
protection from grazing livestock. 19 students from the village school joined
Bandu in the programme.
Two similar programmes were organized at Bhamdeli and
Chorgaon on November 16.
Environment

Self-Employment Training Institute (R-Seti) at Chandrapur. The programme lasted

of the programme, which was residential, were borne by R-Seti.
