An Example of Rural Connectivity
District : Kangra
Block : Bhanwan
An inhabitation was situated at a height and was difficult
to access in Bhanwan block of Kangra district. At times of
health emergencies the patients were carried to the medical
centre with extreme difficulty on foot only. With the initiative
of a few locals who voluntarily donated piece of land to
construct a path way, a road has been constructed which,
could be easily accessible by jeep. The work was constructed
under MGNREGS, with the convergence of PMGSY.
In the Sirathana village of Nageota Bagban, a bridge has
been constructed with 15% public support and 85% govt.
aid along with MGNREGA labour. This bridge has connected
more than 20 villages with the main road. Before this, people
had to travel 12km to access the main road.
Desiltation of Traditional Water body
has Rejuvenated Agriculture
District : Kangra
Block : Kangra
In Kangra Block, Kangra district a traditional water body
was desilted under MGNREGA with the convergence of
IWDP. This water body has become a permanent asset for
the local population. Besides a kuhul was created under
MGNREGA in convergence with watershed project.
Through this Kuhul water goes to the agricultural fields
connected to it. Earlier the water current flushed the muddy
channels, which frequently got damaged and flooded the
fields and the surrounding land.
Voice from the field
“Ab barsat ka pani barbaad aur nuksan nahi karta hai kyoki
sara paani istmaal ke layek ho jata hai jo kheto mein kaam
aa jata hai.”
