History
Till 2008, Command Area of Panchana Dam which is dominated by Meenas used to get water from the panchana dam.Gurjars who life upstream of the Gambhir river and around panchana dam site stopped the water supply to meena villages.This was a big crisis for command area villages which include khandip, pilauda, rendayel gurjar and other more than 25 villages.
Govt did not help the command area people and the economy started failing in command area villages.Without water they were nothing.This helpless situation forced command area people to think for themselves and find out the water sources for them.When country was planning to joining rivers and bigger water projects, the command area was facing draught and water scarcity.
In 2013, The village Khandip organized a meeting which is called panchayat in area for discussing this issue.All the people supported the idea of making a water reservoirs for the area.This idea leads to make a dam over Ganbhir River for solving the water issues in village and near by area.
Funds for Dam
Without a good economical resources, it was almost impossible to build up a big dam which need crores but command area people did not loose the hope. They organized a Panchayat again and asked every family of the village Khandip to contribute in this big projects. Every family of the village contribute minimum 1000INR for this project.Those who can contribute more, they added extra 11,0000-21,000 INR in this project. The work started with this money only.
Later Village Katkad added 5-6Lakhs INR and other command area village people added more money for the project.The Political leaders Ramesh Chand Meena guided for this projects and helped in technical human resources and engineering stuff.A Meena leader, Makkhan lal contributed 11Lakhs for the project and Kirodi lal contributed 2 lakhs INR for this projects.
Slowly slowly the dream started come true and the basic level of the dam has been completed.
This is the unique example of making such a big project successful by some village people.This dam still needs alot of funds for its completion. They also believe State govt will listen and help them someday.
