  2. After they got land in Sohna village, Chetandas’s father dug the soil, and he and his sister filled the pans and passed them to their mother. His sister and mother mixed the husk and his father put up the walls. After that, his mother prepared a mixture of cow dung and mud. She coated the mixture on the floor because it kept insects away from the house. For the roof, his father made a frame by joining the strips of wood and fixed it on the walls.
  3. If I would find myself in this situation, I would be rather unhappy to leave my friends, old school, teachers, and neighbors; I suppose that Chetandas also had experienced the same. On the bright side, moving to a new place is full of challenges, but it is also exciting to meet new people.

    c. Build a proper water system.
    d. Build a better water drainage system, especially in toilets.

  7. After this approach of the Indian government, people have separate toilets in their houses and they are very well aware of cleaning them. The cases of people going to the fields are tremendously decreasing.
  8. Chetandas built a small kitchen having a mud chulha and a place to keep the vessels. After his children became old, new inventions were introduced which they accepted to construct their kitchen.
