Issue: – The Poor and underprivileged families from remote hilly areas under TTAADC often faces lack of clean drinking water causing many children and elders alike to be affected with several types of water borne diseases. Under these instances, UTF members decided to do our part by installing handpumps, where water scarcity especially clean drinking water was scanty. One such village which came to the notice of UTF team was Soighariya Para and eventually after discussion in details, it was decided to help the residents there.
On, 19.05.2019, the installation work for water hand-pump was inaugurated and handed over to the villagers of Soighariya Para. Our members especially, Ms. Yalwkti Jamatia, Mr. Dibakar Jamatia and Mr. Yudhisthir Jamatia took pivotal roles in accomplishing the event of providing drinking water through installation of Handpump for the Tiprasa Villagers of Soighariya Para, #Gardhang_VC under South Tripura District and handed over the fully operational handpump for their benefit. We also assured them boiling water is the safest of drinking water. And that open defecation should be at all times prevented and stopped.

A Community Study Centre at Dhanu Chowdhury Para under Satchand RD Block was also visited by the UTF team members, where the local students gathered for learning, and interacted with the locals there and discussed about the sort of aid UTF could offer.
Lessons learnt : Water is the essence of life. Providing of safe clean drinking water in these critical situations for the localities can save many lives. Today we have learned, “Water does not resist, water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you, But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.” – Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad. That’s Humanity.
