Sankalpa Rural Development Society

On the sacred remembrance day of Krantiveer Sangolli Rayanna, a symbol of courage, valor, bravery, and patriotism of the Kannadigas, we offer our heartfelt and respectful tributes.
The fire ignited by Rayanna continues to burn eternally as an undying lamp in the hearts of Kannadigas.
We remember with deep reverence the martyrdom of Krantiveer Sangolli Rayanna—an unparalleled freedom fighter and a proud son of Karnataka—and bow in tribute to his supreme sacrifice.

Recently we have completed two bore well recharge systems in the urban area of Lonavala in Maharashtra. These photos show the construction of the ring system of bore well recharge which will utilise the roof top rainwater harvesting to collect the water and then channel it through the slits cut in the bore well shaft. The cement ring constructions around the bore well and on either side, hold the water so that it slowly enters the bore well and can percolate down to the aquifer. The water level in the aquifer will rise and these bore wells will supply a good quality potable water for all needs.
