Through various participatory methods, the study explores the village's challenges, infrastructure, economic activities, and social dynamics. The paper discusses adaptive strategies the community could use and proposes sustainable technological interventions to enhance living conditions in the village. To address the challenge of solid waste accumulation and water stagnation, a drainage pusher system operated by solar-powered smart control system is proposed.
