Amla Ruia also known as ‘water mother’ has transformed over 100 villages of Rajasthan by using traditional water harvesting techniques and building check dams. Notably, due to great effort and initiatives led by her changed the face of over 100 villages and brought the prosperity in farming, economy and lifestyle of villagers.

Interestingly, Amla dedicated her life to the farmers from the year 1999~2000 after seeing the poor life of farmers in Rajasthan which was going through a severe drought. Amla started her work by constructing check dams near the villages. Check dams, also known as khadin, are structures that involve comparatively small masonry constructions and extensive earthen bunds.
