00:00Right now, we are in Atri Parkhand's Chiriyawa village, where you will find a well in every house.
00:05This well is special because in today's time, the well is getting extinct.
00:11But the people of this village still work with wells.
00:15It is also used in household chores.
00:19We have the elderly people of the village with us.
00:22We will talk to them about how many houses are here, how much population is here,
00:26and what is the concept of wells and why are there wells in every house.
00:31Actually, this Chiriyawa village is situated on the top of a mountain.
00:36There is a population of more than 120 houses here.
00:40But there are wells in every house.
00:42And people are still alive because of this well.
00:45They use this well and do all the work with it.
00:49The government has not provided any facility for people to drink water.
00:57People have made wells.
01:00How many wells are there?
01:01There are more than 100 wells here.
01:03People are doing it on their own.
01:05Those who have money, they are making their own wells and drinking water.
01:10And those who don't have money, they are doing it on their own.
01:15How much water does it take?
01:16We get water from the well in Boring village.
01:23And in the well?
01:24In the well, we get a little water at a rate of 28-30 rupees.
01:28People keep working with it.
01:30How many years has the well been here?
01:33Since the population of this village has settled here, the well has been here.
01:38Since the population of this village has settled here, the well has been here.
01:42What happened after that?
01:43What happened after that?
01:44We are getting water from the well.
01:47The well was here, but now it is not working.
01:52The well is in Harjan Tola.
01:54In Ward 11?
01:56Yes, in Ward 11.
01:58We are in Ward 10.
01:59There was a well in Ward 10, but it was not successful.
02:04Today, it is closed.
02:07What about the government well in Boring?
02:11There are about 21-22 people working in the well.
02:15And the rest are failing.
02:17What is the reason for the failure?
02:19The reason for the failure is that the government is not paying attention to it.
02:23If the public well is installed on the road,
02:27the entire village comes and goes from it.
02:30It gets spoiled when it is used.
02:32Then there is no one to take care of it.
02:35Is there a well in your house?
02:36Yes, there is a well in my house.
02:38Since when?
02:39Since my father's time.
02:42He died after 110 years.
02:46He had 3-4 wells dug in his time.
02:52Now the well is like a river.
02:55Yes, it is like a river.
02:57We can't do anything with it.
02:59It works only for drinking water.

03:04We do all the household chores.
03:10How do you know?

03:14We have grown up drinking water from the well.
03:16We are almost 75 years old.
03:20People older than us are also healthy.
03:23Do they ask you the reason?
03:25No, why would they ask me the reason?
03:27Everyone comes to our wedding.
03:29Everyone comes from our family.
03:31Do they ask you the reason?
03:33No, why would they ask me the reason?
03:35If they don't ask me the reason,
03:37I just say that the well is doing its job.
