DAY 1 (22/06/2019)ARIYANA: We reached our destination at 2 pm. Then different groups were allotted to different streets. Then we started our survey. We went to different houses and had healthy discussion about circumstances of their village. We enquired about their population, lifestyle, water facilities, electricity availability and health sector. It was found that most of the houses were practicing farming as their profession. They were not having proper irrigation facilities. Most of the farmers were unaware about the govt. schemes and many were not getting benefits of the same.

It was found that 24 hours running water was not available in all the houses. Water was not economical because it was charged 20 Rs per liter.

Only primary education was provided to children. Students had to travel long for higher secondary education. There was no hospital and ambulance facilities were not well developed. Sahkari mandli was not there. Many voices were unheard at panchayat.
