Historic Third Flood Relief Aid by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj Rescues Singhwa Khas Village, Hansi, Haryana. Flood-affected farmers in Singhwa Khas, Hansi, Haryana, are receiving further assistance to address recurring waterlogging in agricultural fields. Under Kisan Mazdoor Bachao Abhiyan Phase 2, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj has provided a 4,500-foot, 8-inch pipeline and a 10 HP motor after a field survey using Google Maps and a drone. Village representatives said this was the fourth time assistance had been sought for the problem.
The village panchayat, sarpanch, prominent residents and farmers had gone to Tatvdarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj at Shri Dhanana Dham with a prayer regarding the waterlogging and requested pipes and a motor for drainage. He directed His survey team to inspect the situation and submit a report. The team subsequently reached Singhwa Khas and surveyed the affected area using Google Maps and a drone.
Key Points on Singhwa Khas Flood Relief
- Around 100–150 acres were described as currently waterlogged, while wider accounts referred to 200–250 acres and 500–700 acres of village land affected at different points.
- The latest assistance included a 4,500-foot, 8-inch pipeline and one 10 HP motor.
- The survey indicated about 4,900 feet of 8-inch pipeline and one 10 HP motor.
- Earlier assistance had included multiple pipelines and motors, with the latest account listing 4,300 feet with three motors, 3,800 feet with one motor, and 5,500 feet with two motors.
- The water is planned to be discharged toward a government drain near the village, with an existing transformer available for the motor.
- Farmers said recurring waterlogging damages crops and increases cultivation-related financial losses.
Survey Assesses Drainage Requirement
According to the survey team, the village panchayat had requested an 8-inch pipeline and two 10 HP motors. After measurements through Google Maps and drone survey, the team reported a requirement of one 10 HP motor and 4,900 feet of 8-inch pipeline. The report was to be submitted to Tatvdarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, after which the village panchayat would be informed of His decision.
The sarpanch said the surveyed arrangement was expected to resolve the water problem. He said the motor could be installed where a transformer was already available, while the water could be discharged into a government drain near the village.
Farmers Describe Long-Standing Waterlogging
Villagers said waterlogging has repeatedly affected cultivation. One farmer, Kashmir, said about 1¼ feet of water was still present in the fields and identified the crop as paddy. The transcript also records the waterlogging as continuing for around 20–25 days. Another villager, Sandeep, said the problem had existed for at least 10 years and that requests had previously been made to the government for a drainage line.
Farmers explained that when standing water damages a crop, the cost of cultivation, labour and other expenses are lost. They said drainage could help protect subsequent crops as well. One account described around 500–700 acres, or “kile,” of village land as being affected by waterlogging in the broader problem, while the current assistance was described as covering around 150 acres.
Fourth Assistance Reaches Singha Khas
The report states that the village had approached Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj three times earlier and received assistance. The latest account records earlier support as 4,300 feet of pipeline with three motors, 3,800 feet with one motor, and 5,500 feet with two motors, followed by 4,500 feet of pipeline and one motor on the latest occasion.
Another part of the transcript specifically refers to August 12, when 4,300 feet of pipeline and two motors were said to have been provided, followed by a reference to 5,500 feet of pipeline and three 10 HP motors. These figures are reproduced as stated in the source transcript, where different speakers gave different figures.
The latest motor was accompanied by associated equipment, including an L&T starter, paint, plate, connectors, SR/PVC pipeline-related material and other fittings. A village representative confirmed that the motor, 4,500 feet of pipeline and related material had been received and said there was no shortage in the supplied equipment.
Annapurna Initiative Offers Farmer Assistance
During the programme, information was also given about assistance under the Annapurna Muhim. It was stated that farmers cultivating 2.5 acres or less could receive free fertilizer, seeds and insect-control medicines, subject to the stated conditions. The farmer should not be in government service or be a large businessperson and should depend on farming.
The documents and records mentioned were an Aadhaar card, land ownership record copy and registration under Meri Fasal Mera Byora. Farmers were told to visit Shri Dhanana Dham once to seek the assistance.
Two phone numbers, 9992600931 and 9992600932, were provided for information about eligibility, conditions and the process. The programme also referred to Kisan Mazdoor Bachao Abhiyan Phase 2, Shuddh Peyjal Seva Abhiyan and Pashudhan Bachao Shuddh Jal Pilao Abhiyan, stating that service work had been completed in more than 100 villages and would continue.
Local Response to the Relief Work
Villagers described the quick survey and assistance as significant, noting that the panchayat had submitted its request shortly before the survey team arrived. They said the drainage work could reduce recurring crop losses. The report also notes that village residents expressed their gratitude for the assistance and that the 4,500-foot pipeline was taken to the programme site.
The programme speaker also referred to a daily spiritual programme of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj on Sadhna Channel from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
Ongoing Relief for Waterlogged Farmland
The assistance in Singhwa Khas is presented in the transcript as part of ongoing efforts under Kisan Mazdoor Bachao Abhiyan Phase 2 to address water-related difficulties faced by farmers and workers. The latest support comprises a 4,500-foot, 8-inch pipeline and one 10 HP motor, following a survey of the affected area.
