ON THE GROUND / PUNJAB

A place to listen. A place to learn.

Rurka Kalan, Punjab June 2026

The NIT Jalandhar team made three visits to Rurka Kalan. They spoke with farmers, families and women’s groups about crops, farming costs and water.

The village already has useful community projects. The team learned from this work, including water initiatives supported by the Youth Football Club, a local organisation.
