Simalgam Village Leads Gujarat's Rainwater Revolution

Simalgam Village Leads Gujarat's Rainwater Revolution

Imagine a village where it doesn't rain much, and the wells are getting dry.

The people in Simalgam village decided to do something about it!

They dug special holes filled with stones to catch rainwater.

When it rains, the water goes into these holes and sinks down into the ground, like giving a drink to the dry earth.

This helps fill up the wells and makes the soil better for growing food.

The government is helping them with a program called 'Van Kavach'.

They even built a big structure to collect even more rainwater from nearby areas.

This means the village has more water, plants grow better, and everyone is happier.

It shows that when people work together, they can solve big problems like having enough water.
