Projects that fit

  • Safe drinking water in schools: RO or fluoride-removal units with a rainwater tank, since tests found fluoride in Una's groundwater.
  • Pond and tank revival: 767 water bodies in Una 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.
