Projects that fit

  • Safe drinking water in schools: RO or fluoride-removal units with a rainwater tank, since tests found salinity (high TDS) and fluoride in Jalor's groundwater.
  • Rainwater harvesting and recharge in school campuses: about ₹1.1 lakh to ₹1.7 lakh per recharge point with a 120 ft bore. See the cost in Jalor.
  • Pond and tank revival: 207 water bodies in Jalor are not in use. Desilting a one-acre pond costs about ₹9 lakh to ₹15 lakh. See pond rejuvenation.
  • Girls' toilets, handwashing stations and repairs, checked school by school against UDISE+ report cards.
