The video captures the views of the villagers about this institution. It shows how local institutions can bring a difference in the way water is managed, how service levels have improved, how efficiently water is sued and finally how problems are addressed.
The committee is built on traditional cultural practices of the village where there is no discrimination made on the basis of caste. The members of the body are picked according to the lottery system, and are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the network, looking into minor repairs of the distribution network and for ensuring that water is made available equally to all the villagers. Excess water is diverted to livestock’s and a part of it is also meant for ground water recharge. For the smooth supply system, a separate electricity connection is in place.
The video demonstrates how people’s financial contribution has fastened this process and people are willing to pay for any water related programs in the village.
