What People Say About Us

यहाँ आके बापू के काम का साक्षत्कार किया। मेरी दादी कहती थी की पानी की सेवा सबसे ज्यादा पुण्यशाली होती है और यहाँ आके सच्ची जल सेवा का साक्षत्कार हुआ। मुझे हमेशा पुछा जाता है की आज बापू कहाँ होते। अब मैं कहूंगा की बापू तरुण आश्रम में रहते।

Arun Gandhi Grandson of Mahatma Gandhi

This is an amazing and inspiring project. Rajendra ji and his team have started a much-needed revolution in the spirit of Mahatma Gandhi. I have no doubt, my grandfather, Mahatma Gandhi would have showered his blessings on Rajendra ji and the rainwater harvesting project. Such projects are proof that the spirit of Gandhi is still alive in India. My wholehearted blessings

प्रकृति सरंक्षण लिए सहज और सरलता से कार्य हो रहा है उसकी प्रंशंसा की जानी चाहिए।

Chandi Prasad Bhatt Ramon Magsaysay Awardee

"While it is the responsibility of the government to create a situation where people can develop, it is up to the people themselves to work for the development of true gram swaraj (village republic). Bhaonta‐Kolyala and its surrounding villages have shown how people can do this on their own,"

President K. R. Narayanan after visiting and awarding Bhanwta Kolyala

During two and half days spent with Dr. Rajendra Singh, I felt rejuvenated, recharged and encouraged to follow a bit of his great exemplary work for humanity. By saving water we are saving lives of our grandchildren. I wish Rajendra Singh Ji long life enjoying results of his great dedication and sacrifice for common good.
