"A toilet? There are no toilets here. We go out in the open."
"A toilet? There are no toilets here. We go out in the open."

By Jigyasa Mishra

It’s not that finding a decent toilet in cities is a cakewalk, but it’s a challenge of a different kind when you are in a village and have to find one on a simmering hot day. Most of them in Lokhariya village drew a blank when I asked them about a toilet. For me it was a day-long ordeal, but for women living in many villages in Bundelkhand, ‘no toilet’ is a way of life.

When we started packing for our trip, just to be on the safe side, we stuffed 'self-defence weapons' in our bags, but they were of no use.During the course of our journey, I realised how badly we have abused nature and natural resources -- water, in particular. Saving water is truly the need of the day

Why are Chhattisgarh’s solar-powered systems in a state of disrepair?
Why are Chhattisgarh’s solar-powered systems in a state of disrepair?

By Gargi Verma

In forested hinterlands of Chhattisgarh, solar powered generators, which were pushed at a massive scale for nearly a decade, have fallen to disuse. Poor maintenance of solar units remains a huge problem. Maintenance technicians complain about irregular payments.

By Brijendra Dubey

In the villages of Ambala in Haryana, the floodwaters have receded but the real disaster is unfolding now. There is a blanket of malba on the once green paddy fields. Kharif sowing has to be repeated and seed costs have shot up.

By Brijendra Dubey

Hilly terrain, hard to extract groundwater and failed schemes make life miserable for the 3,000 odd villagers of Lahuria Deh village in Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh. Each of them gets just 15 litres of water a day to drink, cook and wash. Women suffer the most. A ground report as part of Gaon Connection's Paani Yatra.

Bundelkhand: Water crisis drives villagers into becoming climate refugees

By Biswajeet Banerjee

India accounts for the highest number of people forced to flee their homes due to climate-related disasters such as floods, cyclones, droughts and the growing water crisis. This summer, as water sources dry up, many more prepare to leave their homes in Uchchadi village of Chitrakoot to become environmental refugees.

They live along the river bank, but have no water to drink - the story of dry Betwa

By Satish Malviya

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.
