Changelog

A running log of what’s new, improved, or fixed.

2026-10-28

New

• Expressions of interest are saved. The “Express interest” and “Interested in similar work?” forms on project pages now save your details for our team, instead of only in your browser. The form also asks for your organisation. There is no admin page to see them yet.

• Every project in a village, on its village page. A village page now lists the projects of every source in the village, not only the SLWM survey: for example, the waste-segregation project shows under solid waste management. Projects with no location have no map pin.

• “Other projects in this location” on project pages. A project page in a village or city with a page of its own now ends with up to 6 of the place’s other projects, and a link to see all of them on the village or city page.

• The 17 Kadaladi water bodies, one page each. Each drinking water oorani in Kadaladi block, Ramanathapuram, has its own project page, with thanks to Azim Premji Philanthropic Initiatives. It shows the households and people it serves, the catchment area, the water infrastructure built and the client’s program for water security. There is no map pin yet: the client has not sent the locations.

Improved

• A new layout for every project page. Next to the photo or map, a project page now shows the cost, a short “About the place” and the gaps the work fills. Below that are three short cards: why it is needed, what gets done and what your funding changes, each with “Read more”. All other details are in sections that open and close. Nothing the old page showed is gone.
• Greywater and toilet types named on village pages. A village page now names where greywater goes: a kitchen garden, a household soak pit, a community soak pit, a drain, a waterbody or open land. It also names each type of toilet, for example a lined single pit. The page shows each toilet type once, in every village. The households with unsafe greywater management now also count the households discharging to a waterbody or to open land. For example, Abadi Sohan Singh Wali goes from 130 to 180.
• Sanitation worker safety projects now have a cost. Each city’s sanitation workers safety project shows the cost of one year of PPE kits, worked out from our partner’s rate for each item. For example, Lucknow is ₹2.13 Cr. A note under the cost says that training is not included. The livelihoods and welfare projects are still being costed.
• One page for each Kamudi pond. The 11 ponds and tanks of Kamuthi block are now 11 projects instead of one, each with its before-construction photo, its map pin and its estimated benefits. The old Kamuthi block link no longer works.
• Greywater, toilet and waste-segregation cards on village pages. Each village’s key stats now show the households with safe greywater management, the households with unsafe greywater management, the toilets requiring faecal sludge management, and the share of households segregating their waste at source. The old greywater “managing safely / unsafely” figures, which were 0 in most villages, are gone.
• Waste-segregation projects explain why they matter. Every segregation-at-source project page, in every village, now has three cards with our partner’s text: why it is needed, what gets done, and what your funding changes.
• Sanitation worker projects explain why they matter. Every sanitation worker project page, in every city, now has three cards with our partner’s text: why it is needed, what gets done, and what your funding changes.
• Village projects grouped by category. A village page now lists its projects under one heading per category, as a city page does: liquid waste management, then solid waste management, each with its number of projects. Inside a category, the projects follow the client’s order: drain end point, community level, within institutions, then household level. Existing projects have their own section below the proposed ones. The table view shows the projects in the same order and has a new Category column.
• One card for each kind of project on a village page. Projects of the same kind, such as 11 community soak pits, now show as one card. The card shows how many there are, their cost and up to 3 photos. Open it to see the card of each project. Each category has its own colour: green for liquid waste, purple for solid waste.
• Every village page shows the same key stats. Each village now shows households, population, toilet coverage, ODF status, and its proposed and existing projects. Villages found only in the SLWM survey get the same cards and sections as the others. Where the survey and the village file both have a figure, the page uses the survey’s figure. The drain (pukka / kuchcha) cards and the quick-stats list are gone, and village pages load faster.
• A website link for each tourist site. Each Mizoram tourist site’s project page now has a link to the site’s own website under “Where it is”. It opens in a new tab.
• A tidier Vedasandur model-town page. Why it is needed, what gets done and what your funding changes are now full width, under the map. Basic info is shorter: 9 cards instead of 13, with the urban local body and its class on one card, and the wards and households on another. The page now thanks its Donor, Viega Foundation.

Fixed

• City page links go to the right part of a project page again. On a city page, “See the toilets” on a repair project and “PPE requirement” on a sanitation worker safety project now open that list on the project page, not the top of the page.
• An unknown figure no longer shows as 0. A village page shows “Not recorded”, and the villages list shows ”—”.
• 24 villages are hidden for now. In 12 places, two villages share one name, and the survey adds their figures together. These villages come back when we know which figures belong to which village.

New

• Pond photos on the Kamuthi ponds map. Click a pond on the map of the Kamuthi water bodies project to see a photo of the pond before the work started. The project page also opens with one of these photos.

Improved

• The client’s own words on the Kodai hills and Kamudi water projects. Each Kodai hills village and the Kamudi project now say what gets done, why it is needed and what your funding changes. On a Kodai hills village, the water infrastructure built (borewells, open wells, reservoirs, tanks and stand posts) is in one “Water infrastructure created” section that you open to see.
• Tourist sites: photos, a pin for every site, and now → target. Each Mizoram tourist site now has its photo on its card and its project page. Reiek Hills (in Mamit District, before written as “Mamit”) and Tlawng River now have a pin on the map. Each need on a tourist site’s page shows what is there now, what is needed and the target, with a bar. The old Mamit link no longer works.
• One project page for each tourist site. Each Mizoram tourist site, such as Champhai, is now one project instead of three or four. Its basic data shows once, and its needs (drinking water, new public toilets, twin bins, composting) open one by one below it. The 6 sites now count as 6 projects. Old links to the separate projects no longer work.

2026-10-26

Improved

• A simpler main menu: Discover, Projects, About. The new About page has a short summary for CSRs, NGOs and Government, with a link to each full page. Old links to the For CSRs, For NGOs and For Government pages still work. Villages left the menu; search still finds every village.

New

• Express interest in places we don’t cover yet. If you land on a district, village, or state that isn’t in our catalog, you can now leave your details and we’ll get back to you when something opens up.
• Villages link in the main navigation. Browsing villages is now one click away from anywhere on the site.

Improved

• Project pages got a fresh look. Redesigned with a new layout that’s easier to scan, photos and key details up front, less scrolling to find what matters.
• Smoother map experience. The map now stops fetching new tiles past its sharpest zoom level, so panning and zooming feel snappier and use less data.

New

• Maps on village and project pages. You can now see where a village or project sits on the map, handy for understanding the geography at a glance.
