Conservation work
On September 8, Amit and Sampath led a team
of 9 people in a program to clear wild growth around a well at Sautiya. Due to
heavy rains, wild growth had proliferated around the hand pump and access to
the well was affected. Our team, which comprised 5 young men and 4 women from
the village, removed the wild growth and cleaned the area.
A similar program was organised on September
23 to clear the area next to a well at Manegaon.
We also held 3 programs during September to
promote awareness about vegetable farming, vermi-compost
and azolla production in villages. Azolla is a nutritional feed
supplement for cattle. Details are given in the above table.
On September 8, our team organised an anti-plastic
program at Kutwahi. Amit and Sampath spoke
to the villagers about the harmful impact of plastic/polythene on the
environment and motivated them to remove such litter from the village. The team
of villagers and students went around the village, collecting plastic and
polythene litter/waste, which was then buried in a pit on the outskirts of the
village.
A similar program was
organised at Sautiya on September 18.
Education

team organised environment education programs in 11 schools in the villages in
our area of operations.

wildlife conservation in September.
