Darbha

Darbha village is located at about 15 km from Lok Biradari Prakalp. We offered to excavate a lake after a request from the villagers. But, just like our other lake projects, we asked for an agreement from Gramsabha which should have following commitments.

1. No Alcohol
2. No Tobacco
3. Save Trees
4. Educate each child
5. No hunting and save wild animals
6. Dispute free village

On receipt of the agreement, the work started in March 2017. The budget was approximately Rs. 9 lakh. One lakh rupees were collected from the village so they get a sense of ownership. It took around a month for completion.

The lake dimensions are 100 x 50 meters and it's 3 meters deep.

We have also started fish farming on commercial level. Fish seed is provided to start a new business for village.
