Conceived in 2018, the CSR project of providing toilet-bathroom with water supply in 375 tribal houses benefitting 1,670 people in five hamlets of Sundargarh and Jharsuguda is in final stage of completion.
Living by its name ‘MANTRA’ (Movement and Action Network for Transformation of Rural Areas), the project possesses innovative features like households contributing in the form of labour and building material and agreeing to create corpus for inclusion of new households in future and village committee to look after maintenance.
The project is being implemented by ‘Gram Vikas’, a non-profit organisation which carries more than four decades of experience in rural community development in tribal dominated areas of Odisha.
With completion of toilet-bathrooms, water supply infrastructure is presently being developed, which includes borewell/dugwell, overhead water tank, pump house, pipeline and electrification.]
