A heartwarming story of how a village transformed its fortunes against a seemingly impossible situation. A story of how one man can impact and make a difference to his community. More importantly on how focusing on long term sustainability can bring lasting impact to societies.
Also, while a major part of Maharashtra reels under drought, even though the state has one of the largest network of dams and irrigation projects, villages like these have managed to fight destiny by working at the grass root level.
Therefore, this story brings me to a very fundamental question. Which is a more sustainable approach between centralized irrigation at a national or even state level and judicious water management at a village level. I think it is the later route that is more pragmatic, but would like your thoughts on the same.
