Gramabhrathi year 2015 updates and planned activity on 17th Sep, 2015

Hi All,

It has been a while posting the updates from Gramabharathi.

It does not mean we are inactive.

Following are the updates for the year of 2015:

1. Jaladi Lake has been renovated and riveted against cutting the road with most gracious help from ITC (Indian Tobacco Corporation)  Ltd. with approximate cost of 9 Lakh rupees (not able to imagine if we could able to do it with out ITC team and GRR uncle to persuade them)

2. Water Tanker to water the plants is procured already. Got donation of 1 Lakh rupees from Sri CV Mohan reddy, AP High court, who visited our village last year and inspired from our success stories and wish to do his part to keep the inspiration with us. Thanks to GRR uncle to follow him up and getting such a huge donation.  Another 1 Lakh rupees are to be requested from our gramabhrathi members whoever is interested and can have their/their beloved name on the water tanker permanently. Also plan in progress to procure a Tractor engine too.

3. More number of toilet construction in Jaladi village

4. Replaced the drinking water plant pump (that we have setup 4 years ago) of worth Rs. 20,000. Plan to be finalized to test the water from Lake (Kothuru well) and use it for filtration as the existing borewell is giving little hardened water and also  more villagers are requesting to use the lake water (Kothuru well)

Attached the photos of water tanker (names to be embossed) and the lake work that was in progress two weeks ago.

What is next?

1. Coming week,  i.e. on 17th sep, 2015 to 20th sep, 2015, we will meet in Jaladi village (Ganesh festival too)
 

2. As discussed on 15th, august, 2015 Hyderabad meet all of our gramabharathi members will provide a representative from the village who can actively participate in our activities (for sure it will be with in their leisure time). This is very much important than any money contributions that we will be giving. we will setup one or two coordinator for each of our activities: sanitation, plantation, drinking water plant, education, solar lights, and others.

3.  Plan of action to put fencing to the lake where the lake has been renovated. As a token of return gift to ITC, we will be developing the green avenues in this area.  Also re enforce the fencing in multiple areas around the lake before we start make our lake a green hub and safe water zone for our  future true village generations. This is an estimated budget of 2 Lakh rupees and requesting our members to give monetary help like every year. we have 15 tree guards left from last year and we will set the up on lake area before we do the complete plantation which will be possible only after fencing

4. continuing the plantation as part of our 1 lakh plantation drive.

5. continue supporting other villages (this week edlapadu, one village from prakasam district) for plantation

6. Poster release on Plantation drive and our gramabharathi activities.
