The tribals who harnessed a waterfall, greened their wasteland
The New Indian Express Jeypore
|February 16, 2025
APRIL will no longer be the cruellest month for Guruda village in Gajapati district.
APRIL will no longer be the cruellest month for Guruda village in Gajapati district. Their farms will be lush, the expanse of dead land breeding lilacs too. The migrants will not look for a way across to greener pastures on the other side.
For the inhabitants in one of the most remote and virtually inhospitable terrains have tamed a waterfall, solving the major cause of their misery and hardships.
Located about 25 km from R Udayagiri, the village inhabited by the primitive Saora tribals was affected by a perennial water shortage. There was no water body nearby and the mountainous and rocky landscape made it impossible for digging wells or even boring tube wells as groundwater table was found more than 200 ft deep. The villagers had measly farmlands which were completely rain dependent for cropping and thus remained useless for a larger part of the year.
