Hollow promises

Hospital building with other facilities: it is actually a small health centre, where only a few basic medicines are available.

Dairy farming with expertise from Israel: villagers are unenthusiastic about the scheme as they were not consulted about their needs.

Supply of drinking water at Dhangarwadi, Tarale and Bujawade villages: according to villagers, the water sources are either defunct or produce very poor quality water.

Supply of water through tankers during acute short-age: water is supplied only to INDAL employees, and not to the village as a whole.

Free electricity being supplied to Dhangarwadi: three Dhangarwadis (residence of the Dhangars) exist within a village out of which only one has been given a direct power line, without any meter. People believe it is just a temporary appeasement strategy.
