Earlier, women in Lunkaransar block in the desert region of Bikaner had to travel 4-6 km every day in search of drinking water. To address this critical issue, two Tankas of 30,000 litres capacity each , were constructed under the ITC Mission Sunehra Kal Project. With this benefit, the families are consuming the water which to them tastes like nectar as well as for theirbanimals .

Desert development has shown the families the road to development.
