    follow up report

    We were surprised when community RWH -18 was shifted by the household without informing us , when visited and inquired they hare having vaasthu problem and the place will be widened to use as gate to house, after hours of discussion , they were ready to fix the tank behind the house, and they needed time till next month.

    we were upset on their action as each household are visited and involved in weekly meeting for thier consent to install the tanks and they remove because somebody said "Vaastu problem".

    we any how have shifted all the materials to the house hold who were in need and ready to rebuild in a week.

    Padma and Anusuya are coordinating the issue.
    All the toilets specially two toilets the connection was incomplete has been fixed and household people are started using.

    All the water tanks was filled with water ( filled through tanker) and found community using the tanks efficiently.

    Three house hold has technical problem of plumbing work, we had to organise plumbing person to fix the problem.

    Few house hold have not followed the instruction given or supported to install the tank s in right place due to "vasttu" reason. because of this the plumbing person had tough time to fix the pipes. foundation will have to wait and observe this in next rainseason guide community to collect maximum rainwater using proper method.
