Thanks to NREGA well, we get water round the year, also doing irrigation...

My name is Raju Akela. I am calling from Salaiyadand tola of Kasari panchayat in Semaria block of Chatra district in Jharkhand. I want to tell you that we got one well thanks to NREGA that has changed the life of villagers. In our village there are 80 houses and 500 people. All the other wells in village dry during summer but this well is giving water all around and people are using this water for irrigating their crop also. If we can have 3/4 more such wells the fate of the village will change. For more Raju Ji can be reached at 09693356601
