However, the construction of the dams have now provided timely reliefs to these farmers, as showed in the GTV feature. The One Village, One Dam initiative is not only providing timely water for farming and cattle rearing, it is also providing alternative livelihood for farmers who decide to down their tools completely during the dry season.

Like Oliver Twist, farmers in the north are asking for the government to construct more dams.
