[Shares a recording with Alkaben Thakor and Daliben Amthabhai Parmar]. The big problem in their farm is water as they can not do any agricultural activity and they have to go out for feeding water to cattles. They are also not getting Narmada (river) Canal water as its too far from their farm. Shantaben and her husband both go for labour work. Their daughter in laws do basic tailoring work at home. Their water problem are getting worst and worst day by day. And she said if Bhungroo will be installed in their farm their water problem will be resolved.
