Many decades back, wells were not only chief source of drinking water and irrigation for people, they were also part of the villagers' culture and tradition. However, depleting underground water level seems to be changing all that and the climate change seems to be the biggest culprit

The solar revolution in the agriculture sector of Mahoba, Bundelkhand is picking up, but the solar pumps often remain out of use for almost half a year. Connecting these solar pumps to the grid can help evacuate electricity in the lean season and also provide an additional income source to the farmers via power tariff.
