The village was adopted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi under the Centre’s Pradhan Mantri Adarsh Gram Yojana (PMAGY). Under the joint aegis of Lok Samiti, Vishwa Jyoti Jan Sanchar Samiti and Asha Trust, hundreds of youths took out a public awareness rally in the village and appealed to the locals to plant more and more saplings for environmental protection. They carried placards with messages like ‘water is life, protect it’, ‘stop defecating in the open’, etc. A large number of young women and girls also participated in the rally. They also planted trees and told people to save trees and plant more trees. Everyone took a pledge to keep the village green. Nagepur village head Mukesh Kumar said that in the upcoming monsoon, a public awareness campaign will be launched in the village for environmental protection.
