Chail is a little sleepy town located an hours drive from State capital “Shimla”. The transformation of this little village community began in late 18 th century when Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala decided to create a new summer capital which would be better than “Shimla”: all this for bruised ego. Nestling in shelter of virgin forest and untrodden hills, Maharaja Bhupinder Singh developed the highest cricket field in the world in Chail. Well kept and maintained, more than the excitement of game, the pitch offers picturesque view of the surrounding, with tall forest all around it. The volunteers will get exposure to local history and culture. Working closely with local community
volunteers will be involved in activities related to eco tourism, national park maintenance, floriculture etc. In addition volunteers will also work on facelift of local school, create learning opportunities for children and teach children.

Baddi is a fast growing industrialized township of Solan district. It is close to Chandigarh city which is famous for its Rock Garden. RUCHI has launched an integrated project in 30 villages and slums. The area is situated at an altitude of 1000 to 3000 feet above MSL. The volunteer will work on the project in these 30 villages. Health, sanitation and water is a serious problem in the area and the project aims at improving these facilities. Volunteers will work on water conservation work as well as educating people on importance of water in life. Poor quality of water leads to serious health problems. The creative volunteers can develop some relevant education materials and all will have opportunities to be involved with physical construction works at sites. Time permitting, volunteers may also be involved in cleaning existing water bodies. During monsoon and winter rains these structures receive silt from upstream which reduces the storage affecting ground water recharge. The work will desilt/renovate the structures for effective reservoir of water.
