Women with positive mindset
Anandpura Basti Ward 62 is located in Bhopal. There was a lot of problem regarding water in the township.
Women had to go to collect the water far away 1 kilometer from the township. A family had a private borewell where all the people used to go to get water. All of them could not get sufficient amount of water equally, they had to face many difficulties. And because of this women could not go to work.
In view of these problems, the women of Anandpura colony formed the Mahila Samiti and decided to work on water problems in the township.
The private family that had a borewell made it public for the whole township, then the women laid the pipeline in the entire township and put up stand posts at 16 places where there are about 41 points from where the water is being collected.
