TERRE Policy Centre in collaboration with 100 Pipers Music CDs constructed a well (size 25 feet X 25 feet) at Vandre village in Pune District. Vandre village was facing water scarcity because of the geographical reasons. Vandre is a rain fed region of the Sahayadris and since it is located on the steep slopes of the Sahayadris, the water runoff rate in this region is high and storage of the rainwater is difficult.The well construction was started on 5th June 2016. On 25th January, TERRE Policy Centre handed over the well which will be serving more than 250 villagers and more than 400 pets. The newly constructed well is also reducing the women’s efforts as now they don’t have to roam all over the area searching for the water. Also, it will be helpful for the villagers to increase their pets as previously it was impossible because of the water scarcity issues. It will help to increase their economic level by increasing the productivity through poultries and dairies.
If all people excavate the pond and gardens of the old stepwell or gets it rebuilt anew, we all will get the fruits of constructing new water bodies and planting new gardens. Protection of nature biodiversity should be our first priority
TERRE Policy Centre organized an event “ENVIROTHON 2023” to promote environment protection and sensitize people of all age groups.
