Dona munda son of Muchiram munda lives in the village of Gabharia of bundu block. He lives with his seven members of the family. As the family was big and no one was working, he use to go outside for the work as a labour. This was only source of income for his household.
In the year 2016, he returned to his home and one day he attended the gram sabha. In the gram sabha, the representative of the Jan jagran Kendra was explaining about the JTELP program. In addition, they were being told about the pond construction. He also gave his proposal of making pond it was passed by gram sabha and pond construction was done in his land. After the construction was completed he was instructed that not to go outside of bundu for work. Instead, work here only.
They even told him you might not be able to give money to family whole year. Representative of Jan jagran Kendra suggested him that the pond constructed by JTDS, he must use it in his farming activities
