fetch water for farming, cooking and other household purposes which used to take a toll on their health and family life will come to an end.

Awareness campaigns are being conducted in every village to save and preserve water. Alha ballads and street plays are being organized in Gram Panchayat Secretariats. The women representatives of the Jal Jeevan Mission are making people aware of the importance of water conservation.

The happiness of people facing scarcity of water for years is up to such an extent that not only in the folk songs of Jhansi but in Mahoba, known as the land of Alha-Udal, instead of Veer Ras, the Har Ghar Nal Yojana is being praised. Folk songs like 'Paani ki suvidha de kar Sarkar ne Mushkil mein diya sahara hai’ and 'Bin Paani hum jeevan mein reh nahin sakte’ are reverberating in all the seven districts of Bundelkhand.

The song 'Jal Prithvi Par Hai Sabse Anmol' has become the anthem of the region. Be it Budhpura village of Jhansi or Lahchura Kashipur village of Mahoba, or Saliya Nathupura village, or in Gorkha village of Charkhari tehsil, the folk songs of Har Ghar Nal Yojana are on everyone’s lips. In addition, street plays like 'Pani ki keemat pehchan' and 'Jal hai to kal hai' are being organized to save water.
