Mehandipur Daboda village, located in Bahadurgarh tehsil of Jhajjar district in Haryana, had been struggling with rainwater flooding for years. According to the villagers, every rainfall would turn the village into an island. Nearly 400 to 600 acres of cultivable land would remain submerged, crops would rot, fodder for animals would become scarce, and several village routes would be blocked. After waiting for a solution for a long time, the villagers prayed at the feet of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj. Under the Annapurna Muhim, an immediate survey was conducted, and 8000 feet of 8-inch pipes were provided to the village.

Mehandipur Daboda Became a Lake Every Monsoon
For the farmers of Mehandipur Daboda, rainfall did not bring happiness; it brought anxiety. Villagers shared that during the monsoon, several feet of water would collect in the fields. The land where paddy, wheat, and fodder crops should have grown remained underwater for long periods.
According to villagers, the problem was not limited to fields. Children’s playgrounds, village roads, and residential areas were also affected. At times, movement in and out of the village became difficult. One farmer shared that both paddy and wheat would rot, which meant the farmers faced a double loss.

Villagers Said: “Earlier We Got Only Assurances, Now Work Has Happened”
The farmers and elders of Mehandipur Daboda described this help not merely as material support, but as hope for the future of their village. Many villagers said that for years they went to officials and leaders, but received only assurances. However, after praying to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, both the survey and the material reached the village.

The Sarpanch, elders, farmers, laborers, and youth together called this relief material a major achievement for the village. Villagers said this help would benefit the entire 36 communities of the village because when farming resumes, fodder, employment, and the village economy will also improve.
A Big Step Toward a Permanent Solution
The pipeline sent to Mehandipur Daboda will be laid permanently underground. After this, motors will be installed to lift the accumulated water from the fields and release it into the drain. Through this arrangement, rainwater can be drained quickly in the future.

In flood-affected villages, pipes, motors, wires, and other necessary material are being provided to drain water from fields. The purpose of this service is not only to provide temporary relief but to lead villages toward permanent solutions.
The villagers of Mehandipur Daboda said that if this arrangement is fully implemented, the village’s years-old problem can come to an end, and the barren land can once again produce crops.
