Achievements To-Date:

​

 Education:

​

            In 2010 DRDO built a school to extend educational services to the new settled                                           community. The school was expanded throughout the years to include grades One to                                 Seven. In addition, to combat some parental migration, especially during the drought                                 seasons, the school was converted to a boarding school in 2016.  As of 2018, the                                       school has approximately 100 fully boarded-students with some Day-students. The                                   students are taught & managed by four full time teachers.

 

Water:

            In 2013, to supplement existing meager water resources, DRDO built a water

            reservoir with 15,000 M3 capacity. This is a rain water surface impoundment with an                                          impermeable plastic liner, wire fence, and a solar pump system. The importance of  the reservoir                        became apparent during the last drought that devastated the horn of  Africa from 2016-2017.  

            It was the primary source of water for people and livestock in the village and its surrounding area.                    Also, during this drought season the volunteers  of DRDO collected from the urban communities                       220.5 tons of food for distribution to 800 families in the village and its vicinity.
