    Field Visit Report of Farida, Laltu, Biswajit and Shilpi

    In the beginning this well was used well but later problem occurred over drainage of water that was resolved. As soon as the drains were set up and neighbors started using the well the hand pump got stolen. It seems people are not concerned about their health much so door-to-door campaign followed by another projector program will be done again in October and November 2013 in this area together with three more bi-tech wells with similar issues. Educating the villagers of these backward communities by frequent visits is needed.
