Fresh air, pure drinking water, and a peaceful environment are some of the key resources needed for survival. In today’s scenario, river water is not suitable for drinking. Also, in the catchment areas of river Vamsadhara, within Kotturu and Bhamini mandals, the facility of wells and borewells is limited.

Lack of drinking water, non-availability of drainage facilities, and open defecation are the main causes of about 80 percent of diseases. To confront the situation, Grameena Vikas Sangham created awareness programs for people of Ghanasara and surrounding villages.

GVS also initiated the construction of toilets and sewers and setting up of an RO water plant. It is remarkable that these activities are being carried out with the cooperation and initiative of the villagers, especially the women.
