Regular health and hygiene education is imparted to the Samyukta Mahila Samitte (SMS-apex body of all SHGs formed) and SHG members by the support organisation, the Hind Swaraj Trust. The capacity building of the water committee, SMS and Gram Panchayat (local village body) has been done through trainings imparted by WOTR staff. The SMS will further be linked with the banks for credit.

There is no deviation from the approved plan. Additional activities such as 2 new water tanks of 10,000 lts capacity has been constructed through government funds and peoples initiative. One old tank of 10,000 lts capacity was repaired and now is being used for water storage. - Common toilets and individual toilets have also been constructed.

- The drinking water activity has helped the village community to come together for a common cause and helped to strengthen their unity and integrity. - the illiterate rural women are capable to implement honestly and parsimoniously large projects with big budgets by maintaining transparency if their capacities are built through training interventions and given opportunity to implement the projects - if the drinking water problem is identified and the work is initiated by the women , the strong support and cooperation is possible from the local governance (Gram Panchyat), CBOs and men folk irrespective of village politics, groupism and bureaucratic interference
