Dantla is a tiny village located in the Danta Ramgarh Tehsil in the district of SIkar in the state of Rajasthan. The village comes under the division of Jaipur. The village was in the news when all hopes were lost as most of the surface water was found draining out. The answer of this problem was in channelizing the drainage line to feed existing ponds and wells. The renovation of the ponds was quick and the outcome benefited over 15000 villagers. The water table was revitalized and hand pumps and wells of six villages near Dantla now have enough water to meet the daily needs of villagers.
