Though Dang district receives heavy rainfall but due to its hilly and rocky terrain, there is a severe problem of drinking water during the four months of summer, India Today reported.

The 60-year-old farmer Gangabhai Pawar said that he tried to seek help from the village sarpanch. “But when his demands were not accepted, he himself started digging a well for water purposes,” he said.
