An object lesson in people taking their fate into their own hands. They provide for themselves and keep the central government out of it. The best governance is local governance. Let those who depend on a resource manage it and it will be done better, faster and with less cost.
Good to hear.Community work,is the need of the hour.Fewer people would venture out to the city in search of work if they had water in their respective villages.
Amazing. This should be an international emergency and this technology should be exported to other water strained countries around the world. Before it's too late!
For this problem to occur in the first place, not a single child or grandchild must have listened to an elder or inquired about these structures for some 50-75 years. That's the astonishing part here, not that structures build to last and function thousands of years require little maintaining to go right back to work.
Bro I’m going to blow your mind, you realize something called Colonialism happened. Where European colonizers conquered and basically destroyed our nation, India had World GDP total of 30% before British arrived, when they left we had gdp of less than 2 percent, many of our ancestors were forced off their farms into the cities to work factories or shipped off as indentured servants (slaves) across the colonies.
If this village could do it, why didnt those neighbouring villages do this in their ponds? They are coming 4 kms and further to get water here. Hope this technique catches up and spreads across. Kudos to this village!

Apologies, I did misunderstand Kodai as kodo which is millet. The regional accent was difficult to decipher even for a local like me.

@@catherinegilon4275 Thank you Ma'am for the quality content, some additions- From Chennai suburbs onwards to entire dry regions in Tamilnadu, you will find OORANIS and Kanmaai everywhere, Ooranis are stone lined, for Drinking and cooking, while kanmaai is larger in size and used for agriculture and rainwater harvest, ground water table recharge.

Put some effort in voice translation so that your video can be understood by most in the World.. Or atleast explain what those locals say in their great language.. The essense is lost when we are reading those tiny alphabets for 2 minutes and then again focus on listening and viewing.. and again back to reading.. Whoever is the producer of this content is clearly uninterested in giving a great content..
I understand your frustration, it is nearly impossible to translate Tamil into any other language, it is a very ancient language. The lady narrating is having a hard time even pronouncing Indian words, she will further completely alter the meanings from the original content. I think she is Pakistani, Tajiki or Persian. 1:40. The way she pronounces the name of the Kanmai, she basically butchers the meaning. Thenkarai means south shore of a man made or natural water body. Probably the name of the Kanmai is something different or there could be two water bodies adjacent to each other with a cascade. 2:20 She mentions "Historically water bodies....", apparently she does not know English or knowledge of these things. The appropriate phrase should have been "Until recent past......" I have seen people maintaining these with co-operative effort and also some times along with Public Works Department. I bet it still happens a lot. This must be a video made to made to screen to get money out of donors pockets or to show in the books of the works being executed. They are not mentioning the name of the village clearly. We are all hearing these kind of stories all over the world of NGOs doing good work I dont know how long, but these things are not reflected in ground reality. The Union Government is basically sucking out all the money from these regions to spend it in the north, basically the people from the northern part of the country have made the south as a colony for exploitation of tax revenue.
If any NGOs wants to concentrate one major think is in tamil called Seemai Karuvelam Tree. It will suck water and not good. Team in TN should put effort to remove the same
Telangana government wanted to dig such tanks all over the state, but the BJP in the center didn't release funds, even though Telangana contributes huge funds to the center.
Not only Telangana but also my state tamilnadu too, our south state funds are diverted to north indian state purposely and still they are not much developed like south. What an waste 😒.
@@santhoshanvelmurugan3324 yeah, so much of our money is diverted to the North. I no longer see the advantage of the southern states to be a part of the Indian Union. Best case we band together and ask for autonomous region status. We are always at mercy of the idiot that North votes into power. We need to escape the tyranny of the majority.
While the other countries are preparing to set up camp on mars, in India people are still going to far places to collect water for their daily uses. Common man are paying their taxes and government are supposed to use that money to make the tax payers' lives comfortable. Government is sure making lives comfortable but for themselves only.
This is like a super remote village lol. You can't blame the govt if they can't make a tap go to every inch of the country. If they choose to live life in a village this is what they get. Even tier 3 cities are like 20 years ahead of this thing

Lifestyle is still too primitive. Village doesn’t mean life has to be primitive. Needs a lot of infrastructure for people’s lives and health to improve. People just don’t look healthy, clearly showing that anaemic conditions due to lack of affordability to eat nutritious foods still prevails a lot. The government has to find out ways to increase people’s income.
They maybe sunburned dark skinned and may have poor oral hygiene but that doesn't indicate they are unhealthy... Their average livespan is definitely higher than us city dweller, they do eat healthy foods I have been to many villages and observed their eating lifestyle.. don't judge by their looks pls..
Shiva Badru , please post a video of you climbing a 150 feet coconut tree then drinking the whole pot of toddy and sliding down. You can view the demonstration in 2:40 this video.

It's very important to protect our water bodies, water is life, can't live without it! I hope people all over realises before it's too late!
In South India such village tanks are connected in tandem so that overflow of one tank directly reaches downstream tank.
many states are are doing this...rajasthan ,maharashtra...to name a few. Personally I would like to see a day where entire india is off the grid when it comes to our water resources...
It was. Not anymore. Many lakes and water ways were occupied. No wonder people are suffering for water.
In Telangana we call them golusukattu chervulu , meaning interlinked lakes
