Digging of Anicut has begun today at the village Umaria Fala, which was selected by MPUAT as Smart Village. The digging work is conducted by Vice Chancellor Prof Umashankar Sharma under the direction of Chancellor to reserve the water.

Director of Broadcast Dr G.S Tiwari, Mining Expert Dr Shaitan Singh Rathore, Dr I.J Mathu and local villagers were present during the digging process.

There is no technical possibility of digging new lake in the villages hence anicuts are being preferred for distilling work.

After digging the anicut, there will be 10 lakh liter capacity of water in it and it will also help nearby wells to get water which will be beneficial for agricultural lands.
