Some instances of success

  • Rise in water table varies from 30 per cent in Muktsar to 95 per cent in Vizianagaram.
  • Sasur Khaderi-2, a tributary of the Yamuna River flowing through Teliyani block of Fatehpur district, 150 km south of Lucknow, was revived under MGNREGS. The 46 km-long stream originating in Thithoura Lake was encroached over time, resulting in its drying up. Its revival generated 205,000 person days of work and cost around Rs 4 crore.
