CHECKDAM CONSTRUCTION

On December 8, 2018, a significant environmental initiative took place in the picturesque Puzhakattiri Panchayat of Kattilassery, as part of Haritha Mission. The primary focus of this endeavor was the construction of a check dam to address ecological and water conservation concerns in the region. The event saw active participation from dedicated NSS volunteers, JRC children, employed workers, and enthusiastic local residents. The event commenced at approximately 10:15 AM, with the formal inauguration of the project by the MLA. This ceremony marked the beginning of a day filled with purpose and community collaboration. By the end of the day, around 4:15 PM, the creek had been transformed. It was not only clear of debris and plastic waste but also featured a functional check dam that would contribute to water conservation and environmental sustainability in the region. The event served as a powerful reminder of the positive impact that community-driven initiatives can have on the environment. It reinforced the importance of working together to address pressing ecological concerns and highlighted the invaluable contributions of NSS volunteers, JRC children, employed workers, and local residents. The successful construction of the check dam on December 8, 2018, in Puzhakattiri Panchayat was a testament to the power of collective action in creating a cleaner and more sustainable environment for all. Around 35 volunteers participated.
