SUGGESTIONS

We can suggest them to have proper drainage

facilities so that rain water does not accumulate on the

kachha roads. The low lying areas should be filled with

soil to avoid growth of mosquitoes and flies in them.

We can ask them to create manures by themselves

using a vermi compost so that they could use it for

agricultural purposes.

They can use the animal waste in making bio gas and

use it as a fuel in kitchen for cooking purposes.


32/37

We can suggest them to purify water before using it

for drinking purposes by treating it with alum (which

is available in the market at low cost).

We can teach them about modern farming methods

and irrigation techniques.

We can teach the women about healthy cookingmethods.

Proper disposal of waste should be done so that

communicable diseases are not spread.

We need to provide them with Appropriate

Technology which is both cheap and easily

available.
