Since March 2020 the Covid pandemic has created great misery around the country, whether due to repeated lockdowns or the havoc wreaked by the second wave in May last year. However, during this dark period there were also some positive stories to tell.
One of them is from Danavav village, situated in the foothills of Mount Abu, in Sirohi district of Rajasthan. Here, around 40 women tribal farmers ended the village’s age-old drinking water problem during the lockdown. These women farmers have dug ‘beris’ or small natural water tanks at different places in the village. This has provided drinking water to at least 500 people of the village.
