Large portions of the ‘perennial’ Betwa river in Madhya Pradesh are bone dry due to over exploitation of the groundwater and the river. Poor villagers living along its banks trek long distances to fetch drinking water while rich tubewell owners sell aquifer waters. Will the Ken-Betwa link project solve the region’s water crisis? A ground report.

After a 22-year long struggle for patta land, Rampyari Bai from Dhanoriya village got her 1.35 hectare land but had to pay a heavy price. She was set alight on July 2 and died on July 8. Gaon Connection travelled to her village in Guna district of Madhya Pradesh and found that there are several tribal families who have got land patta in their name but have no access to that land, which is still controlled by the mighty landlords.

In Shivpuri district, Madhya Pradesh, the water they bring for the family is also contaminated by unsafe levels of fluoride that poses a serious threat to their family's health. Can fluoride removal plants solve the growing problem of water contamination?

पट्टा जमीन के लिए 22 साल की लंबे संघर्ष के बाद, धनोरिया गाँव की रामप्यारी बाई को 1.35 हेक्टेयर जमीन मिली, लेकिन उन्हें इसकी भारी कीमत चुकानी पड़ी। 2 जुलाई को उसे जला दिया गया और 8 जुलाई को उनकी मौत हो गई। गाँव कनेक्शन ने मध्य प्रदेश के गुना जिले में अपने गाँव की यात्रा की और पाया कि कई आदिवासी परिवार हैं जिनके नाम पर जमीन का पट्टा है, लेकिन उस जमीन तक उनकी पहुंच नहीं है। अभी भी यहां जमीनों पर जमींदारों का कब्जा है।
