As we moved ahead, we spotted a well and saw a few ladies working there. We went towards them and started asking them about their daily routine chores. After a little interaction, we learned that this village has water issues. There are in total 23 wells shared between the 5 villages. These wells run dry during the summer. The water in these wells is not safe for drinking. Therefore, the villagers have adopted a method of purification in which they add some powdery substance to the water. This powdery substance to them is provided to them by gram panchayat.

As there is no water supply to the houses in the village, they also face sanitation problem.

The other problem that we came across was related to healthcare. There is no proper medical facility available in any of these villages. The nearest dispensary is about 35-40 mins away. For immediate cure, the villagers use traditional methods of curing and various other home remedies.
