At present 50 children below 5 years are invovled. - In January 2008, a project titled 'Preventive Health Care and Sanitation' has been initiated by WOTR for a period of 3 years. The health committee comprising of 8 members has been formed to implement this programme. The local women health promoters (2) have been identified to implement the programme.

Due to the increase in cost of the raw material (steel, cement, sand etc) required for construction of water storage tank and well there was an increase of USD 750 for the same. This additional cost was incurred by the village community.

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 implementing agency should be clear about the non-compromisable (peoples contribution, quality of work, maintenance atleast of one year in advance) and should try to achieve these through participatory methods.
