a decade after the sukhna lake, conceptualised by le corbusier was built, it was detected that sedimentation through the kansal choe, a seasonal stream, was causing reduction in the depth and size of the lake. in order to find a solution to the problem, cswcrti deputed a team in 1975, with mishra as the project director to sukhomajri, an arid village at the foothills of shivalik hills, in panchkula district of the indian state of haryana. he worked for three years with the local villagers, educating them about the seriousness of the situation and urging them to abandon goat farming which was causing denuding of the forests and shift to cattle farming. he built two check dams across the seasonal stream for rain water harvesting, made water available to villagers for agriculture and was successful in implementing "social fencing programme", where the villagers erected fences protecting the forests from cattle grazing. with assistance from the forest department of haryana and the ford foundation, he is reported to have transformed the village into a prosperous one. it is reported that the bare slopes of shivalik hills were covered with vegetation, the milk production increased nine-fold, the rate of sedimentation was reduced to 1/15th of earlier levels, crop yield increased manifold, and a corpus fund was put in place, under the care of a society, for development activities in the village. a 1992 study by s. k. dhar, the then chief conservator of forests, confirmed that the tree density also increased from 13 per hectare to 1272 per hectare.
