The challenges
Ground water nhas been contaminated due to industrialisation. Up to 100 feet of ground water is contaminated and not suitable for drinking purposes. This has resulted in the community depending on shallow hand pumps for drinking water, which was affecting their health.
Farmers had small and scattered land holdings which was impacting their profitability and there was the problem of drug addiction in the community. Health issues were prevalent among women and children and there was a shortage of medical staff in CHC/PHC/sub centre. Girls usually dropped out of school to help their parents with household work.
