Fluoride level in the water was above permissible levels and this was raising threats to life in the village of Venpura. This has affected the villagers' bones and teeth. Government was forced to pay attention to the issue and for the time being, the villagers were provided with water supply from other places.
But this was not a lasting solution. After realizing the plight of villagers, Kishore Khimawat promised to extend help towards them. The Trust addressed this issue and started the project called Shithola. The project dealt with constructing a Dam in the area so that water can be stored in the land and retained in high levels so that the fluoride levels could be brought down.
Soil was brought and heaped to create thick and large bunds of certain height, extending to near about 4.5 kilometers. This project was successful in restoring rainwater in an area covering 3000 bighas and if you visit this area today, you will be surprised to find large areas lying under water. Shithola project is located in the villages of Devatra, Venpura, Akadara and Khimel but benefit many more villages including Birami, Lapod, Anoopura, Bithura, Khimard, Khangdi-Bangadi and Chanod.
After the implementation, the project finds success in bringing down the fluoride element in water and this in fact aids the villages in all spheres of life. Now water is retained in the ponds for longer times, so that all the basic necessities are met and the surrounding area becomes more fertile and livable.
