For perhaps the longest continuous stretch ever, I have been camping in Badbar and working almost daily on my land matters. The demarcation issues on both parcels of land had to be resolved, and by Waheguru’s grace, nearly 90% of the work now stands completed.
We have also donated extra trees and shrubs for the Guru’s Langar.
Still, I decided to stay another few days to personally supervise and improve the infrastructure of the land as well as furnish my village home. On one of my parcels, spread over 21+ acres, I have two tubewells located at the far end along the newly finalized demarcation line. I took up the task of connecting both tubewells through a 10-inch PVC pipeline system.
For this, I went myself to negotiate in nearby village Cheema and selected the best available material before finalizing the work and fixing the erection schedule. For the last three days, the labor boys have been working extremely hard in scorching heat. Incidentally, the temperature here is touching almost 113°F at peak hours.
I also visited the site a couple of times to monitor the progress. The heavy PVC pipes have already been joined together, and a trench nearly four feet deep has been dug across the fields. Once the pipeline sections are fully aligned and sealed, they will be carefully lowered into the trench already prepared.
Watching this development gives me immense satisfaction. Such infrastructure improvements not only strengthen the long-term utility of the land but also significantly enhance its value, perhaps by a couple of lakhs per acre.
Life teaches us that land does not grow merely by ownership; it grows through vision, planning, and continuous hard work on the ground.
