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 Jangaon's groundwater.
  • Pond and tank revival: 1,923 water bodies in Jangaon are not in use. Desilting a one-acre pond costs about ₹9 lakh to ₹15 lakh. See pond rejuvenation.
