Er. Brahmananda Pradhan

Executive Engineer,

Minor Irrigation division, Baripada.

He designed and executed the Irrigation cum Drinking water project in Mudrajodi village over the Mahujharan spring. The project has been successful in taking advantage of gravity and diverting water through 100mm G.I. pipe from a spring to the village for irrigation and drinking water.

People of Mudrajodi village traditionally used the water of a small Stream/Spring named Mahujharan in Samakhunta Block of Mayurbhanj District for drinking. During rainy season they diverted the stream water through a small earthen channel for irrigation purpose. With the implementation of the project the hardship of tribal village has been eliminated.
