–  To implement the programme, a Truck has been procured as a donation form “World Help for Self Help”.

–  The sources of water are also identified.

–  Necessary logistics for the implementation of the programme are worked out.

–  Efforts are underway  to obtain support from other agencies to execute the proposal.

–  CARDs will make efforts to extend this programme to other urban areas also in due course.
