It’s a worthy project through which we fulfilled the basic need of the people, water. I was happy that apart of the provision of water tanks, we were able to propagate the idea of water conservation. We urged them to save the water as it is on of the god’s precious gifts to mankind.

As a volunteer of this CIM Project, first I would like to say my special congratulations to CIM leaders (Mr. Srikanth Panduga & Mr. Ramesh Vunnam) on successful completion of this project and also thanks them for giving me this opportunity to serve the society by the way if constructing mini water tanks. It was a wonderful opportunity to help the villagers by providing some basic facilities to them. The villagers were very happy and enthusiastic through out our interaction. In addition to the above, we all together conducted Water Storage Awareness Programme for villagers and made them understand their responsibilities towards the society. We also guided students on how to balance their personal and social goals. This CIM Project trained villagers very well. I was actively involved and enjoyed this opportunity along with all other Volunteers. I hope and wish to be a part of similar activities as much as possible.
