While we stay home to stay safe, the government is doing every bit to fight the virus outbreak. It has entrusted the responsibility of the villagers to their respective Gram Panchayat to ensure each one is safe.

The Gram Panchayat had made all arrangement to restrict entry into the village, regularly sanitizing the entire village and made provision to distribute ration, soaps etc. to the needy people.

Now, these are the usual activities carried out in all the villages. And lockdown is being followed strictly by one and all in the villagers and they only come out for essential things.

Safe drinking water is an essential service and continues to serve the community of  Kharkhari Village in Haryana, a village adopted by Sankei Giken Pvt Ltd. Bhagru Bhan, the operator of Sarvajal Kendra shares the situation of the village.

He has been sanitizing the plant and ATM regularly along with spreading awareness on practising safe and hygienic habits like correct ways of hand washing, cleaning their utensils before refilling water and covering their face.





While serving safe water he realized that the lockdown falls heavy for some, as they were daily wage earners who do not have money at their disposal now. So many of the villagers don't have money to recharge their water Atm cards. Bhagru Bhan realizes the impact of the service, he discussed with the Mukeshji, the Sarpanch of the village to allow the villagers to take water despite no balance in the card.



He made a list of such people for the Panchayat so incase the situation becomes better, they could pay. Mukeshji understands his responsibility and assured of making the payment on behalf of the villagers incase they are unable to do it.

In addition, requested the operator to continue serving the community.

The society needs such leaders and community helpers who care for the welfare of their people. They have proved humanity is the biggest service and stand above all.

Kudos to such heroes and salute their efforts!
