Lakhnadon region received only 1150mm of annual rainfall and 52% rain fall during July and August last. To ensure increased availability and accessibility of water, Spandana undertook activities through the joint support of communities and government. This included building wells, check-dams or barrages; installing hand pumps, tube wells and water storage devices to directly benefit about 3000 families. This resulted in growth of the water table and enabled the farmers to grow cash crops.

50 acres of barren land is now producing vegetables and 80 farmers are smiling away with positive increase in house hold income. Farmers have also become conscious of the fact that they need not migrate if they utilize water resources wisely and explore irrigation facilities.

Community Health Committees have built the capacity to manage their own development. Communities are aware about HIV/AIDS, Immunization, pregnant women's care, and hygienic practices at household level. Personal hygiene is being practiced by SHGs members and school children.
