00:00Right now, we are in Atri Parkhand's Chiriyawa village, where you will find a well in every house.

00:05This well is special because in today's time, the well is getting extinct.

00:11But the people of this village still work with the well.

00:15It is also used in household chores.

00:19We have the elderly people of the village with us.

00:22We will talk to them about how many houses are there, how much population is there,

00:26and what is the concept of the well, why is there a well in every house.

00:31Actually, this Chiriyawa village is situated at the base of a mountain.

00:36There is a population of more than 120 houses here.

00:39But there is a well in every house, and the people of this village are still alive.

00:44They use this well and do all the work with it.

00:48The government has not provided any facility for drinking water.

00:56People have made their own well.

00:59How many wells are there?

01:00There are more than 100 wells here.

01:02People do it on their own.

01:04Those who have money, they make their own well and drink water.

01:09And those who don't have money, they do it on their own.

01:14How much water does it produce?

01:16We get water in the borewell.

01:21In the borewell?

01:22Yes, in the borewell.

01:23And in the well?

01:24In the well, we get a little water at 28-30.

01:28People keep working with it.

01:30How many years has the well been here?

01:33Since the population of this village has been settled, it has been a well.

01:38When the population was settled, the well was running.

01:42What happened after that?

01:43What happened after that?

01:44The water is running on its own.

01:47The well used to be here, but now it is in Harjan Tola.

01:54In Ward 11?

01:56Yes, in Ward 11.

01:57We are in Ward 10.

01:59There was a well in Ward 10, but it was not successful.

02:04Today, it is closed.

02:06The government borewell here, did it fail?

02:10Yes, it failed.

02:12Only a couple of people are working in it.

02:15The rest have failed.

02:17What is the reason for the failure?

02:19The reason for the failure is that the government is not paying attention to it.

02:23If the well is set up in the middle of the road,

02:27the entire village comes and goes from there.

02:30When it runs, it gets damaged.

02:32Then there is no one to take care of it.

02:35Is there a well in your house?

02:36Yes, there is one in my house too.

02:37Since when?

02:38Since my father's time.

02:41He died after 110 years.

02:46In his time, he had 3-4 wells dug.

02:52Now, the well here is like a river.

02:55Yes, it is like a river.

02:56We can't do anything with it.

02:59It only works for drinking water.

03:01Do you drink water from it?

03:02Yes, we drink water from it.

03:04All the household chores are done from it.

03:10Do you know that?

03:12We have grown up drinking water from the well.

03:16I am 75 years old now.

03:20The people who are older than me are healthy.

03:23Do they ask you the reason?

03:25No, why would they ask me the reason?

03:27When we get married, all our family members come.

03:31Do people ask the reason?

03:33Why would they ask me the reason?

03:35If they don't ask me the reason,

03:37then I say that the well is doing its job,

03:41and the other place is doing its job.

03:44When was this village established?

03:46This is a very old village.

03:48We don't know when it was established.

03:50It must have been 300 years ago.

03:52It must have been more than that.

03:54It has been here since the beginning.

03:58The first village was in the jungle.

04:01Then it came here.

04:05How many people live in the village?

04:08About 1.25 houses.

04:11How many houses are there?

04:13There are about 1.25 houses,

04:15including Harijan and Barijan.

04:18So, the total number of wells is more than 100?

04:20Yes.

04:21So, the village is being named after the well.

04:25Yes, it must have been named after the well.

04:28It is still going on.

04:31If there is no other arrangement,

04:33then it will be considered as old.

04:35Yes, it is for the well.

04:37In every village,

04:39when people are living here,

04:41then the worship is necessary.

04:44That's why people used to come from the well.

04:48Even today, people from the well do worship.

04:51They don't take water from the well.

04:53They don't take water from the well.

04:55They take water from the well.

04:57In Chhatt Parbat, there is a well.

04:59Yes, there is a well.

05:01People go to the temple to worship.

05:03They take water from the well.

05:06Is this the biggest well in the village?

05:11I think so.

05:13I hope so.

05:15In our village,

05:17there are 1-2 wells in every house.

05:20My house is somewhere far away.

05:23There are animals kept here.

05:25It is necessary to drink water from the well.

05:28There is a well here too.

05:30This is Chiriawa village,

05:32where there is a well in every house.

05:34There are some houses,

05:36where there are more than one well.

05:38In these wells,

05:40there are some wells,

05:42which are said to be 200-250 years old.

05:44The villagers here say that

05:46they are helpless.

05:48We have preserved this well

05:50as a heritage.

05:52It is still going on.

05:54For ATV Bharat, I am Sartaj Ahmed.
