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.
