Collective Action Turns the Tide on Water Scarcity
- ‘Har Ghar Nal Jal Yojana’ was launched to deliver clean, piped drinking water to every rural household in Bihar. - In 2020, shortly after pipelines were installed under this scheme in the Kurkuri Mushari village-- water supply stopped, throwing 1000 villagers into a drought. - Community correspondent Madhur Kumar’s video investigation, proactive engagement of the villagers & relevant government officers led to water being restored to the village after 5 long years. - Madhur’s efforts helped secure an urgent, immediate fix. The village handpump is now functional, providing temporary relief to residents. - But the struggle for household tap water connections promised under the ‘Har Ghar Nal Jal Yojana’ continues. **100% of proceeds go to continuing the campaign for clean, piped water to every household in Kurkuri! **
