Peernagar, a small village in Bharatpur district of Rajasthan… the name may sound simple, but over the past three years, its story has been filled with extraordinary suffering. This is the same village where lush green fields once brought smiles to farmers’ faces.

However, in the last three years, the situation has completely changed. Water everywhere—stagnant floodwater accumulated in the fields—and within that water, the dreams of farmers were drowning.
Nearly 1000 bighas of land had turned barren. Ploughs stopped running in the fields, seeds were never sown, and it seemed as if crops had forgotten the way to this village. The situation became so dire that farmers, who once fed others, were forced to buy food from the market for themselves. This was not just an economic crisis, but a story of dignity, struggle, and survival.
Three Years of Pain: When the Fields Stopped Responding
For the farmers of Peernagar, these three years were nothing less than a test of endurance. The fields were filled with water, but this water did not give life—it took everything away. There was no drainage system. With every rainfall, water levels rose further, and the fields gradually turned into marshland.
An elderly farmer from the village says: “We have never seen such times in our lives. Our fields were our identity, but for the last three years, they have only remained ponds of water.”
Another farmer, with pain evident in his voice, says:“Our shoes wore out visiting government offices again and again, but no one listened. Every time we only received assurances, no actual work was done.”
This was not just about farming losses. The entire village economy collapsed. Laborers had no work, cattle ran out of fodder, children’s education was affected, and many families had to take loans.

When Even the Last Ray of Hope Began to Fade
Over time, the situation worsened to such an extent that villagers began to feel there was no solution left. Many farmers even considered quitting farming altogether.
The village panchayat met officials multiple times and submitted applications, but nothing changed. Every effort ended in disappointment.
At that point, some villagers decided to take a different path. They chose to present their problem in the court of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj. This was their last hope—one filled with faith, even though imagining a solution seemed difficult.
Relief Convoy Arrives with Diesel and Generator
As soon as the call from Peernagar reached Him, a massive relief convoy was sent toward Bharatpur within a short time. The villagers can never forget the day when they saw with their own eyes that someone had come to help them on such a large scale.
A 7600-foot-long, 8-inch-thick pipeline, a heavy 20 horsepower motor, and all necessary technical equipment were delivered to the village. This was not a small assistance, but the beginning of a permanent solution.
The most remarkable part was that not only the equipment was provided, but full arrangements for its operation were also made. Considering the electricity issues in the village, the rent of a generator and the diesel required to run it were also arranged.
An emotional villager says: “We couldn’t believe that someone could help us at such a scale. We only hoped for support, but here arrangements have been made to transform our entire lives.”
Hope Returns to the Eyes of Affected Families
After this relief, a new energy spread across every household in the village. Families who had been struggling for three years began to see hope again.
A farmer’s wife says: “For three years, there was constant worry in our home—about children’s education, food, everything. Today it feels like everything will be alright.” An elderly farmer emotionally stated: “Today our village has received a new life. We were drowning, but today Rampal Ji Maharaj Ji has held our hand.”
Relief Work Expansion: Not Just Help, but a Complete Solution
The most significant aspect of this relief effort was that it was not temporary assistance but a long-term solution.
The village received:
- 7600-foot-long 8-inch pipeline
- 20 HP motor
- Complete setup including starter, wires, clamps, nuts, and bolts
- Materials required to connect the pipeline
- Generator rent and diesel
The village panchayat was clearly informed that this material was permanently provided for their use. They were also entrusted with the responsibility to remove water in time and restart farming.
“For Us, Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj is God”: Villagers
After the arrival of relief materials, the atmosphere in the village became deeply emotional. The gram panchayat and villagers collectively expressed their gratitude to Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj by honoring Him with a traditional turban.
The Sarpanch assured:
“We will fully utilize this material and start farming as soon as possible by removing the water. The village will not remain behind anymore.”
Everywhere in the village, there was only one discussion—relief and gratitude.
One villager said: “For us, this is God’s work. Who helps like this without any self-interest in today’s time?” Another villager said: “For three years we were suffering, but today it feels like our good days will return.” Farmers also said: “For us, Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj Ji is God.”
Responsibility Letter Given to Gram Panchayat: Message of Discipline with Service
Along with the relief materials, an important letter was handed over to the gram panchayat. This letter conveyed not only assistance but also a clear message of responsibility and accountability.
It clearly stated that the pipeline, motor, and other materials must be used immediately and properly to drain water from the fields and ensure timely sowing of crops. Villagers were urged to work collectively, as this issue concerns the entire village and all communities.
It was also mentioned that if the water is not drained within the stipulated time and fields are not prepared for cultivation, such assistance may not be provided in the future. Though strict, this instruction aimed to ensure seriousness and prevent negligence.
The letter further stated that the current condition of the village had been recorded through drone footage. Future recordings will also be made after water drainage and when crops flourish. These stages will be publicly shown to ensure transparency and demonstrate real change.
Additionally, it was clarified that if the village requires further assistance in the future, it can submit requests and necessary materials will be provided. Thus, the door to help remains open—with responsibility. The gram panchayat accepted the letter and signed it, assuring that the materials will be properly utilized and farming will resume soon.
A New Beginning: Peernagar’s Story Will Now Change
To understand this entire story, it is important to know about the “Annapurna Campaign.” This is not just a relief scheme, but a broader social initiative aimed at ensuring that no needy person is deprived of basic necessities.
Through this campaign, relief has reached thousands of families across different parts of the country affected by floods, droughts, and other disasters. The assistance provided in Peernagar is also a part of this initiative.
In a country like India, farming is not just a profession but the backbone of the entire economy. When farmers suffer, the entire society is affected.
Understanding this, the Annapurna Muhim prioritizes farmers by:
- Providing pipelines and motors for water drainage
- Supplying resources to restart farming
- Arranging fodder for livestock
The 7600-foot pipeline and motor provided in Peernagar are part of this vision—to not only solve today’s problem but also secure the future.
A Living Example of Service and Compassion
One of the most important aspects of this entire story is the spirit of service and compassion. The Annapurna Muhim led by Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj is not just a relief effort, but a living example of social responsibility.
Helping farmers across hundreds of villages in the country, not only by providing resources but also restoring their confidence, reflects the true meaning of service.
Helping the needy without any self-interest or expectation is not only a sign of sensitivity but also of deep social understanding.
