To date we are still waiting for Sarpanch Sahib to arrange accurate measurement of the plot so that we can finalise the 2 sides adjacent to ploughed fields. Access to water for irrigation has been verbally agreed with water committee members. We have requested this to be confirmed in writing from Sarpanch Sahib.
The Trust have also paid for the clearance of the area around the water tank so that it can be used by children until the ground is ready.
We will update progress periodically.
