The project is heralded as a sustainable model of a village republic.

In 1975 the village was afflicted by [[drought]], poverty prevailed, and trade in illicit liquor was widespread. The village [[Irrigation tank|tank]] could not hold water as the [[Dam|embankment dam]] wall leaked. Work began with the [[percolation]] tank construction. Hazare encouraged the villagers to donate their labour to repair the embankment. Once this was fixed, the seven wells below filled with water in the summer for the first time in memory.

Now the village has water year-round, as well as a grain bank, a milk bank, and a school.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www1.worldbank.org/devoutreach/winter01/article.asp?id=97 |title=Special Report - The Value of Natural Capital |publisher=World Bank |access-date=2006-10-30 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060624135612/http://www1.worldbank.org/devoutreach/winter01/article.asp?id=97 |archive-date=June 24, 2006 }}</ref>
