Conservation
On January 29, Dilip led 12 villagers from Ghoti in a
programme to dig a soak pit which will take the spill-over water from a hand
pump. Dilip explained the benefits of the soak pit and the need for water
conservation to the participants. Photo below.
On January 29, Bandu led a team of 10 youths and students of
Ghatpendari village in a programme to dig a compost pit. Bandu explained the
purpose of the compost pit to the participants. We’ve dug this compost pit so
that villagers can dump organic leftovers from households and livestock into
it. Over time, this will convert to organic fertilizer which can be used in
agriculture, thus reducing the use of chemical based fertilizers. Photo below.
On January 25, Bandu led a team of
4 youths of Salai in a voluntary work project programme to clean the area next to
a hand pump in the village.
On January 5, Dilip organized a demonstration of a 'smokeless chullah' to villagers of Khudsapar.
A similar programme was organized on January 12 in Kamthi village. Smokeless chullah is a stove which uses
less firewood than conventional stoves and emits less smoke. Photos below.
Dilip joined VEDC members and Forest
Department staff on patrols on January 16 and 18 at Wagholi and Khapa villages.
The team patrolled the borders of the villages for illegal activities. Bandu
joined similar patrols on January 3 and 24 in Ghatpendari, Ghorad beat. No
illegal activity was detected on
these patrols.
In January, Bandu and Dilip took students
of Ghatpendari, Pipariya and Ghoti on a total of 3 nature trails for students.
On the trails, Bandu and Dilip spoke to the students about birds, trees and forests.
The impact of degradation of natural resources was explained to the students. Photos below.
