After water testing, she updates her investigation report on the government portal, joining the panchayat meetings and keeps her suggestions on the quality of water. The special thing is that now not only the panchayat listens to their suggestions, but also implements them. They get an amount of Rs 20 for every investigation of the water, which has also increased their income. But they have the real pride that due to their hard work, the diseases caused by water in the village are now ending. Now every house is reaching pure water from the tap. Ramakumari says, “Got a new encouragement with UNOPS. Now people look at me with respect, call in the name. Earlier, where it was difficult to dream, now the same dreams are coming true.

She not only examined the purity of water, but also explaining to the people why clean water is necessary and how can water -borne diseases be avoided. Although it was a little difficult to explain to people in the beginning, but Sheela’s hard work was a bit difficult, but Sheela’s hard work was a bit difficult. Many women of the village joined them and on seeing it, it became a strong team. Now Sheela and their fellow women are working not only on the quality of water, but also on water conservation. He completed the work like repairing ponds, rigid with panchayat so that water sources would be durable and do not have water problems in the village in the future. “Quality water is not only a need, but the right of everyone. When women come forward, change is possible.” And as there is a change in the jannasi, “We have selected some women,” Women taught women to check the hand pump of the village and upload it on the UP portal, which made them income at ₹ 20 per test.
