Dantla is a tiny village located in the Danta Ramgarh Tehsil in the district of SIkar in the state of Rajasthan. The village comes under the division of Jaipur. The village was in the news when all hopes were lost as most of the surface water was found draining out. The answer of this problem was in channelizing the drainage line to feed existing ponds and wells. The renovation of the ponds was quick and the outcome benefited over 15000 villagers. The water table was revitalized and hand pumps and wells of six villages near Dantla now have enough water to meet the daily needs of villagers.[1]

The surface of the village showed zero water and in order to ensure that every drop of water was conserved, the NGO - Social Action for Rural Advancement (SARA), with the support of Anandana – has successfully implemented the project.[2]

Coca Cola support

Anandana, which is a Coca-Cola India Foundation, has made enormous capacities for the storage of water. It also focused on the rejuvenation of both surface water bodies and water table in the areas where water was scarce. The initiative was aimed to empower people, especially women, by improving their standard of living.[3]
