NCCL has on 21.11.2014 launched its new Project
“Rainbow Hills” from village VANAJ, in Taluka Vijayanagar, District:
Sabarkantha in North Gujarat.
In a
simple Ceremony, Taluka Mamlatdar, Mr
Prajapati, in the presence of villagers & NCCL Volunteers started the work of re-constructions and
modernization of houses in the picturesque
Vanaj village which is situated on a small hillock facing a huge lake.
After
necessary survey, NCCL has selected 10 houses in village: Vanaj, for reconstruction and repair. The selected houses are constructed by the Adivasis using mud for walls and local wood for
ceiling. Adivasis in Vijaynagar Taluka are living in dilapidated dusty houses in an unhealthy conditions and uncontrolled
element of their routine misery.
Under
the scheme the NCCL will do Repair of walls, floor, roof, Varendas ,
Plastering of mud walls & floor with Cement , Laying Cement Sheet on the
roof for protection from rains, heat etc and putting tiles (Nadiya) on it for
long lasting roof protection ,Colouring of roof top and Construction of
toilets.
NCCL
will arrange Cleaning of surrounding area with the help of local Adivasis of
the selected houses and will guide them to maintain clean & hygienic
surroundings and also to stop using plastic products, causing maximum
damage to the Environment. The entire cost of repair/reconstruction etc will be
borne by the NCCL.
The
aim of this scheme is to provide basic amenities to the poor Adivasis, without
disturbing their lifestyle, traditions and surroundings. Further, these
Adivasis will also be guided to rent out one room in these neatly Re-constructed houses to the tourists interested in eco-tourism, which will
generate income for them.
NCCL in the past successfully implemented
Mission ENDURE, in Ahmedabad City to reduce dust pollution by constructing
footpaths from pre-cast Cement Concrete blocks, which was a unique practical, positive and participatory
project implemented in association with
Ahmedabad Muncipal Corporation (AMC).
