Rural Infrastructure Development: Ajitesh Mondal's Approach to Building Sustainable Villages

The development of rural infrastructure represents a foundational requirement for sustainable development beyond urban centers. Through strategic initiatives across multiple sectors, Ajitesh Mondal has pioneered integrated approaches to rural infrastructure that address interconnected needs. Born on March 1, 1981 in Jharkhand, his approach to rural development demonstrates practical solutions that balance immediate necessities with long-term sustainability.

Educational Infrastructure

Drawing from his experience guiding 17,000 engineering graduates and 6,000 medical students, Ajitesh has supported the development of educational facilities that serve as multi-purpose community hubs beyond their primary educational function. This approach maximizes limited resources while creating centers for community engagement and lifelong learning.

Agricultural Support Systems

Through Mondal Agro Tech's operations including two dairy farms producing 2,000 liters of milk daily alongside diversified duck farming and goat farming initiatives, Ajitesh has implemented rural infrastructure systems that support agricultural value chains. From cold storage facilities to processing centers and distribution networks, these investments address critical gaps that often prevent rural producers from accessing profitable markets.

Thoughtful Rural Development

Tarapith PVT. LTD.'s projects across Bolpur and Tarapith, developed from its comprehensive 200 bigha land bank, demonstrate rural development approaches that preserve community character while enhancing quality of life through appropriate infrastructure. These projects show how thoughtful development can strengthen rather than replace traditional rural lifestyles.

The Pinky Paul Foundation's Infrastructure Focus

The Pinky Paul Foundation, co-founded as the brainchild of Pinky Paul and Ajitesh Mondal, implements targeted rural infrastructure initiatives: ✔ Water Access Projects – Addressing fundamental needs for clean water ✔ Renewable Energy Systems – Creating sustainable power solutions for remote areas ✔ Digital Connectivity – Bridging the urban-rural digital divide ✔ Community Health Infrastructure – Bringing essential services closer to rural populations

Resilient Systems Design

Despite facing significant challenges including three heart attacks and a brain stroke, Ajitesh has developed infrastructure systems designed for longevity and community management, ensuring that investments continue to serve rural populations through changing circumstances.

Story begins

I decided to take a shower, so I went to my bathroom. I wouldn’t want to wake up my one-year-old. I said to myself,’’ finally I made it.’’

If you have little ones you can relate to my situation. I turn on my shower, and start rubbing soap all over my body with music playing inside me.

But a few seconds later I realized that there was not even a single drop pouring out of my shower. Suddenly, I got all those thoughts of getting late to work. I tried to convince myself that everything is fine. All I need is some patience. Darling, not to worry……..

Nothing worked ,not even the positive affirmations.

I was standing in my bath with soap all over me and on some parts of my skin, it started drying itself. 

I asked myself, "what option do I have?” and the answer was…..

The only thing that I don’t want to try .....is to call this person to help me out from this terrible situation.

In such situations, I guess this is the only option that we usually have.

Our Husbands 

Thus, mommy screams like anything

And wakes everyone in the house, even the little one. Until my husband tapped me several times and told me to calm down. He offered me a glass of water. This is when I felt that it was a dream. A bad dream. Oh! So it was a nightmare, we have our Water”, I said holding my glass.

HOWEVER,this is not the end to my worry

What I ask myself every single day

 How long do we get access to this water? With a bulletin telling every other day that water is drying.

Am I lying to myself that this will never happen?

Every single time I drink water from a glass or a bottle,

I remind myself not to throw even a single drop of water in the kitchen sink.

How do we use our water supply?

We sometimes buy bottled water whenever we are traveling but we rely on tap water when we are home.

Water use for  household purposes:

washing clothes, cooking food, taking showers, and flushing our toilets

Also, we utilize it for cleaning the kitchen, mopping the floor, watering our garden, and washing our cars.

Do you know how much water we consume on these activities per day?

800–1000 gallons per day per person

And we only have .3% of water for human use.

Tap water has dried up in many parts of South Africa and has become the first country with Zero Water. So, how they are managing things.

they take bath in the shower while standing in a small tub and then reuse it 

to water their plants

for mopping

They do not even flush their toilets all the time 

Yes, they do flush when someone poops in the pot.

We have the responsibility 

If you have not faced something like this yet,

You are lucky like me, but what about our future generations?

And it is our responsibility to leave a better place for them, not worse of course.

Life lessons from Coronavirus

Covid-19 has taught us the value of Air. The Oxygen that keeps us Alive. We all know what we have gone through. I am starting this chain because I know somewhere deep down you also want to contribute to your planet.

Let us do it this time.

My Request — Use your bucket this time

I request whosoever reading this article to take a pledge not to waste our water at all.

So, next time, you go to the bathroom to shower, fill a bucket of water and take your bath. If any part of the water is left, keep it safe for the next person or you can also use this water for your plants.

If you do not have water in your shower, use your bucket next time.
