Singh describes how he addressed problems of the village (through a translator):

  The main problem of the village was drought, and lack of water in the village. Less water meant not proper irrigation, not proper harvest – it affected the economy.

The main cause for the situation deteriorating so much is basically because people were not giving proper attention, they did not know how to conserve the water. There was nobody to guide them – nobody to teach them how to do it.

So we then realized that if we can stop this migration aspect, and if people would remain in the village – learn new techniques of irrigation, how to conserve water – [then] automatically it would also have a good effect on their health, because they would grow better crops.
