Ekal Success Story Madhomkunnu, Cheepram

On the bank of Karapuzha dam reservoir in Wayanad district lie the Paniya colonies of Madhomkunnu and Cheepram. Though surrounded by water, this colony was deprived of good drinking water. The water in the dam was much polluted. They had no good sanitation facilities too. They never got the house and toilet allotted to them by the government.

Under the leadership of Krishnadas, Ekal co-ordinator, the villagers decided to volunteer to dig a well. This was a historic moment when the tribals regained their self-esteem. First, the well of Cheepram was completed. Madhamkunnu well would be completed shortly. The villagers of both colonies showed that they themselves could solve their problems.
