Women-led water revolution turns dacoits into farmers in Rajasthan

Rediff.com25 May 2025

In Rajasthan's Karauli district, a decade ago, rampant drought and dwindling water sources forced many men into a life of dacoity, leaving their families in fear. However, the women of Karauli, tired of the despair, took matters into their own hands.
