In arid and dry landscape of Rajasthan this village stands out like a green oasis. Lapodiya, with little over 300 households is a drought- proof village two hours away from Jaipur. What makes it so special is the fact that it has been able to revive the traditional water harvesting structures to harvest water. Laxman Singh is the man behind this mission. Is it possible to revive a village economy using rainwater harvesting? Yes! Lapodiya shows the way. - Věda a technologie
This man deserves a national award. He's more effective than 10 IAS officers put together.
1 million. IAS officer are glorified clerk who were fit for British era system . 21st Century requires intelligent problem solvers running our affair not some rattus who passed some exam .
I am from Pakistan, but I see this person as a role model for all the developing countries, especially those with the same land conditions and climate. He should be given projects and supported on every level, this science is greater than space science, and making this planet lively is better than wasting a single penny on space exploration missions.
You are right. The present water crisis provides enough evidence for your comment!
@@a9a9d wow what an expression! Glorified Clerks!
Aur bhai croro rupaye ki rally karne wale bulletproof kafile me chalne wale netao ke baare me kya vichar hai.
These people should be running the water management departments... They have the knowledge AND EXPERIENCE!
S Singh ਵੱਡੀ ਗੱਲ਼ ਤਾਂ ਬਾਈ ਜੀ ਕਰਨ ਦੀ ਚਾਹਨਾਂ ਐ, ਜਿੱਥੇ ਚਾਹ ਊੱਥੇ ਰਾਹ
Yes. Top water table experts! Amazing work. Country is undergoing severe water crisis. These people can alter the situation. No problem if govt is not responding or delaying, private agencies, NGOs must come forward and start working right away under their guidance. Govt response takes time. It's time for us to play the concerned citizens and motivate and help the govt instead. These people are common villagers with very high standard of thinking! We should follow their footmarks!
Nope , leaders won due to money and hatred politics will decide
Oooo no no no! Reservation blocks the talented youth. Though it gives an opportunity to people, but, only if there was a system to choose talented youth from the reserved seats.
And will.
We don't need cities if we have such well managed villages..
Right they doing better for there village and country than educated metropolitan people..
Cities are for commercial activities and villages are ideal for healthy and happy living.
@@maggikandpal7522 educated metropolitan 🤔
Village is the future
We don't need cities.
These people are more educated than politicians
Everyone is more educated than a politician. All politicians are selfserving morally corrupt arssholes.
That's not hard
politicians serve satan. they don't need education!!!!. they are whores of the devil!
do this applies for modiji also.
*Most politicians
My Dream is Every Village in India should be with Water, Food, House, Sanitation and Education Independent.
can we come together to make this dream true?
If u start any campaign,,, I am ur first volunteer.
AGREE Bro.
Mera bhi yahi sapna h k desh me aisi hi khushhaali haryaali ho
Chalo hum sab hi kuch karte h kyun kisi k bharoshe me baithna
I wish someday Rajasthan govt invites u to develop all villages in rajasthan
You missed the point. Govt or one person or one organization cannot do anything. It's the people from community. Listen to the video again carefully. Solutions are very customised and that's why succeeded.
सरकार तो ऐसे लोगों को घास नहीं डालती ।
This Pakistani salutes your efforts and I wish this would be implemented by governments at a federal level, all across the Indian subcontinent. If only there were more people like Laxman and Jagveer sahab, the world would be a much better place.
P.S. I love this channel!
🙂
Climate change is beyond the boundaries of borders.
I wish there were a lot of Pakistani brothers like you. Remember humanity is still alive in many parts across India and Pakistan.
Sindh needs more work to be done
@@sailaxman3243 Believe me brother, there's more of us, on both sides!
This man is more effective than most of our higher educated people, I seriously want to see him as our Rajasthan's future CM, hats off to u sir👍
Hats off to the Village community as well as the Down to Earth community for bringing this beautiful message to the world.
Instantly brightened me up after a depressing day.
Lots of love. I also pray that each one of us be this aware regarding our environment. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful.
This man should be made water resources minister of India.
That will corrupt him.
@@sishrac that, or the parasites making up the political spectrum will murder him for jeopardizing their lush payments without doing anything. It's better that he stays away from politics.
Wonderful contribution for India, and an exemple for the world !

The gentleman who came up with this idea is brilliant. He works with nature instead of trying to bend nature to his will. Well done.
Thank you for this video.
Hats off to these people they really love their village their ancestral land i feel proud of them my people love from Nepal 🇳🇵
When I was growing up in a village in Kerala, most houses were of one to two acres of land. In each house, there was a pond. Then there were bigger ponds attached to temples where people went to take bath. The village then always had water. Now things are different. Houses are in small plots. Ponds are not there anywhere. Water problems have started despite the fact that Kerala has two monsoons. In June July and in November.
That is our old traditions which we Indians have forgotten.
The main reason is the fast gowing population
True Vikram. Same memories from my childhood. The difference I feel is that we have stopped focussing on the "COMMON GOOD" and become self centred. I remember that even in the peak of summer, the temple tanks ( " kulams") were full and with one single downpour it used to over flow into the nearest paddy fields.
@@sraj2230 Peaceful religion is implementing it. In three hundred years, across the world unfortunately they will be successful. Then we will not exists as the peaceful religion knows how to care of other religions.Then, they will start to do to their own communities, sects and just as it is happening now killing their own brothers. This is Kaliyug and only the first phase. Wait for the second and third phases.
True!
Man can be the greatest gift to this planet, if we accept this as our destiny to do so.
India has so much potential, agriculture takes the top spot among them.
Dear Sir,
Salute for you and your team and all villages persons.
You have done greatest work.
Keep it continue.
Regards
Nice .
Brilliant! Bringing back old knowledge and applying new to adapt, survive, and prosper. This is quite a success story. More desolate, arid land could be brought back to life following these types of skills. It all started by one man figuring out why the local pond was failing and fixing it. A community working together with nature. Congratulations!

What a wonderful video.
Their dedication deserves applaud. All this without the Govt.
🙏 Salute to everyone 🙏
इसे कहते हैं काम करके दिखाना।भैया इतनी दूरदृष्टि और इतना बड़ा सामाजिक बदलाव केवल पूरे समाज के सहयोग से ही आ सकता है।सरकार कुछ नहीं कर पायेगी।करना होता तो अब तक 70 साल थे।कर दिया होता।अब हमें ही बीड़ा उठाना होगा।सलाम है मेरा इन लोगों को।
Dear Sir
You had shown that for sustainable irrigation and protection from drought one need not spend thousands of crores of Rupees and build huge Dams.
Experience and scientific studies have proven that Big dams are ecologically Disastrous.
Salute to you.
Rafeeq mohd Well, big dams are built mainly to create work for big construction companies, which will in turn fund political parties. 😏
Energy from solar is very much viable in India ...... waiting for Kejriwal to become the next PM.... lets get rid of BJP please
धन्य हैं ऐसे गांव के महापुरुष...सच्चे देशभक्त हैं ये लोग। जय हो
What an inspiring story. Lots of respect form kerala.
In the midst of all the bad news all around the world, it's breathtaking to see what these people have accomplished, and that they are doing it as a village. People need to realize it takes everyone in the village to make it successful, not one rich person who employees half the village....... This practice needs to be shown to African villages, this could save so many lives there.
Really great. He deserves to be honoured and made advisor for every village body of India. We need our resolve, only advice will not take us anywhere.
Alok Basu inko do padmashree awards
ये बड़ा ही आश्वासक चित्र है! इन महानुभाव की जितनी स्तुती की जाये, कम है। इन से प्रेरणा लेकर अगर देश के अन्य सूखे भागों में ऐसी कुछ योजनाएँ कार्यान्वित की जायें तो देश की प्रगती के मार्ग में आने वाली विपदाओं पर यशस्वी रूप में विजय पाया जायेगा, और भारत फिर एक बार विश्व का सर्वाधिक समृद्ध राष्ट्र बनेगा...
वाह दिल खुश हो गया देखकर। इसी प्रकार से अगर हर गांव के लोग सजग हो जाए तो हमारे किसानों को शहरों में आकर मजदूरियां ना करनी पड़े।
This man Deserve Padmashree...knowledge as responsibility with action without pride. Need more people with such type of mindset.
Wow, Kudos to this real Aquaman
It's a misconception that Rajasthan as a whole is desert and arid. Majority of it is but a large part is green and has Rivers and lakes.
But the idea of a drought free/proof village sounds good
Amit Chakraborty yeah the areas right to Jaipur are definitely not aird and are very green infact.
Plz name the rivers of Rajasthan. Thanks
Preparing for civil services
I will implement this technique in my posted district after becoming IAS officer
Why wait to become an ias
you will earn the same money whether you implement this or not. so, why bother doing this?
This is core issue with indian mentality.
Phle bn to ja
A young IAS officer should be idealistic. You have plenty of time to become jaundiced. I wish you all good fortune.
Good luck. Don't become disillusioned when you see what goes on inside the system. Lol
Aise bando Ko milna chaiye noble prize ,great work sir salute you!!
These type of project should be given more funding from govt. To do work in large scale.
Amazing work by the team.

Only progressive mind people can do this kind of great job...They are inspiration to all of us.
Well done Laxman Singh ji and his team. You are our environment soldier
Wah wah... Laxman ji ki soch aur mehnat ko pranam
Being a Science and English lecturer all my life and having served in rural Punjab,, it is a great experience for others to follow otherwise we are all doomed to extinction. I felt so much pleasure in watching happy villagers and livestock. At the same time felt immensely painful when I see wanton destruction of water bodies and rivers and ground water in Punjab.
A great effort . His ideas and methods of rain water harvesting system is superb . We have to learn how we can change .
NRC is on the way
@@jyotipandey7244 Don't bring hatred into this
Laxmansingh is great man.
People here are commenting that deserts should be converted into these green Areas.
People don't know that deserts are also very important. The monsoon of India is dependent on Our Thar Desert.
So It's a very bad idea to eliminate desert.
Although we should do efforts to stop desertification. We should plants more trees around the desert not in the desert.
Although I love the efforts of rain water harvesting.
Good work 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I think villages don't cover whole of the desert but scattered randomly leaving a large portion of the desert uninhabited. So planting in and around the villages only may not do any harm!
Thank You down to earth . These are real Padma winners. Salute
Look at the ancient monuments temples palaces etc they have water harvesting systems that can be recreated now and put to use without electricity but these villagers are doing great job too
Man! This is incredible! Hat's off to the team.
At first, I thought that this video had to be click-bait; but Lapodia's people impressed me super-mightily.
The whole world can & must learn from their smartness & innovation.
Further; the newly created biodiversity helps naturally in the reduction of pasture-/ agricultural pests. Superbly smart.
I - & hopefully many other people - will propagate Lapodia's innovation & smartness in water- & pasture-management.
This village is a example that if we are all willing we can change this world
Yes that's the thing. The Will power! Be it political, bureaucratic or commoners!
Dear Mr. Laxman Singh Ji, We Salute for you and your team. You are deserving for national award. I wish will visit your village soon for learn rain water harvesting and other things. Because I also working on Sustainable Community Living in Rajasthan and other states.
Hats off to you Sir!!
And Well done all villagers of Lapodia..
This method has been adapted in Udaipur area for over500 years. Back to traditional and effective methods
That was one the most satisfying videos I've seen. Masters at work.
My sincere pranams to the real heroes of this nation. You guyz are wonderful....keep continuing the good work.
After ceding water from the Conchos R.into the Rio Grande, with which forms the border with the USA, farmers have experienced a decrease in the water available to them, if we here in Mexico contacted this Honorable Man, we would significantly green the Northern part of our country! Thumbs up, liked and greetings and respect to Laxman Singh Ji.
Very very nice useful, government must support these types of work
Village is second form of heaven
These guys are true heroes . They deserve the highest awards. The government should make them an example and ensure every village goes through this example,
what an vision! what a visionary! hats off to his efforts.
Traditional systems that had been neglected and forgotten over time, one dedicated young man to revive them. Brilliant. The importance of and shortage of water doesn't appear to be new to the region, time and circumstances seems to have resulted in the importance of maintaining the systems.
I'm very happy to see that there are still few people who think about this planet..
Proud of you and love you from the bottom of my heart!!❤
Beautiful super
Love from Pakistan
Jabarbast kaam kiya laxman ji ne,gaav khushal kr diya aap ne,Aap ko pranam ji...
This is a lesson for all of us. Nature has given us everything we need. All we have to do is, respect it & use it with diligence.
There slope of land is very gentle. For this gentle slope the chouka planning is just awesome and very effective.
I salute for this initiative and planning. 🙏
This entire process of self-sufficiency and sustainable development is really awesome! The uncle deserves international recognition for his exemplary efforts.
Who else noticed the beautiful background music ? I was using as a ringtone this music , I got surprised checked my phone 2 times🤣🤣
Name? I liked it, too!
Dream village, congratulations for your hard efforts, dedication and environmental knowledge particularly Dev-Van.
Very interesting! There is a similar project in Arizona in the US, where rather than a chauka on the surface, what is done is that a plastic or rubber tub is buried in the ground, usually filled with rocks to make more space for water than would be in soil. So it is like having underground ponds to do this 'chauka' system of collecting rainwater, but because it is under the ground it can be made to take only a very small amount of space, or even it is possible to have pathways over it, so long as it does not block the rainwater collection, and even, because of the gutter along the roads in america, many of these have been built to collect water from special gutters and keep it in the environment.
Very forward thinking,simple but effective ideas.Great for local communities. The world needs more of us ,Us,to implement such ideas.
Nice work. Help the whole India to overcome it's water scarcity
This is why politicians don't want us to unite but keep us divided on religious, caste & class lines.
When the common man unites, they can do the impossible and make #India a paradise on earth.
You are so right. Politic is not about helping the people but power and filling their own pockets
Nope, Governments encourage and incentives such efforts. You are ignorant to say governments discourages such efforts.
Politicians are like dinosaurs, we need their extinction to survive in the future & they know it instictivly.....it's them or us now...
Very intelligent strategy. World need knowledge systems like this self stained 💕
Great Inspiration!! If want to do something good for the society stand up and even if u are alone don't worry there are always good people who will join you. Jai Hind.
Heartfelt congratulations for this yeomen service to the community and service of the nation! Government and all of us should learn from them.
Aise news ...kitnaa positivity spread krti hai .
Love rajasthan ❤️
This is awesome, great stuff. I've always wondered why rain harvesting isn't more common. Here they cut the water off for hours sometimes during the summertime, but yet we have HUGE rainfall in the rainy season. I'll we'd need is a reservoir to harvest water from regular rainwater.
Wow great job sir. Laxmanji you are a role model. Thank you for inspiring bit only your village but also other 59 villages to adopt Rain water harvesting. God bless you and your entire team. Lots of love from Mumbai. 🙏
Amazing work done at the grassroots level without incompetent bureaucrats messing things up.
I see one positive story about India after a long time. Good job by these organisations.
There were some very dry parts of Rajasthan in 2012 as I traveled through - lots of soil erosion. This is much needed and I am sad I didn't get to see this.
I salute this great personality..words lines, paragraphs, pages & books cannot explain the volume of work these teams have done they given back so much to Nature..that just words cannot express the quantum of humble & good work done..I just salute these guys..I am a farmer from Karnataka.. want to render my services to this noble organisation.. kindly give me an opportunity to serve you..I wish to come there to volunteer my services
Government ko ase logo ko full sport dena chaiye
I like that he stressed these systems takes time and planting of the trees are key! This isn’t an over night solution but it is the best solution to droughts! Way to go India 🇮🇳
Hats off to you ! Laxman Singh Ji 🙏🙏

Beautiful. Punjab should learn from it
Definitely this man deserve a national award
Well done... From Jaipur. Hope Jaipur people will also follow this. #Jaipur
