The effects of the global situation are evidently seen at the last mile even in the most remote villages of our county.
People across the length and breadth of the country are in a similar situation with access to only essential service. Safe Drinking Water is one of them, the villagers in Pimperkhede, Maharashtra still take home water from this facility made available to them by HDFC Life.
The entire community is indoors and the market place is closed. The Gram Panchayat has been actively sanitizing the entire village and all public places for the welfare of all. It ensures people are following strict wash washing hygiene and keeping their surrounding clean. They have even given masks to the people and regularly keep a check on the same.
The operator of the machine has been sanitizing the machine and water ATM every 2 hours. He is grossly involved with the local governing bodies in spreading awareness amongst the villagers. Sarvajal team has shared posters, which have been displayed across the village (which talks about DOs and DONTs, handwashing hygiene, social distancing and maintaining personal cleanliness). The efforts of the villagers should be appreciated as washing hands have become a part of the routine now and practice extra precautions on personal hygiene.

Social distancing
Along with the gram panchayat, our operator, there is another local government samiti actively engaged with the villagers to ensure safety. They also distribute ration to 10 people a day for sustaining 3 months for now so they stay home safe.
Law and order have been followed and police are on its usual patrolling rounds day and nights.
It is really heart-melting to see how each one is doing their bit to ensure we fight the tough times together and be safe.
