Once burdened by water scarcity, Namapura village in Bundelkhand has transformed through collective action. With support from Development Alternatives and partners under the Resource Access and Equity programme, the village water committee collaborated with the Jal Jeevan Mission and the Public Health Engineering Department to repair damaged handpumps and restore reliable access to clean water.

What began as a local challenge has evolved into a model of community-led governance and sustainable resource management, proving that when people unite, they can build systems that last.

Natural ecosystem restoration isn’t only about land or water—it’s about people. In Sidipur, as ponds were revived, farmers, shopkeepers, and workers came together through the Talaab Samiti. What began as an environmental effort turned into a shared responsibility and equality. When nature heals, people heal too.

Seventeen years of stories, songs, and change.

From Orchha to over 150 villages, Radio Bundelkhand has kept one promise alive when people find their voice, transformation follows.

Sometimes, all it takes is hearing another woman’s story to start writing your own.

Inspired by Radio Bundelkhand's 'Stree: Ek Kahani Meri Bhi' Program, she turned her passion for sewing into a step towards independence.

She doesn’t just make bulbs. She builds possibilities.

This , we celebrate women whose light inspires change.
