The Jal Jeevan Mission's Swachh Sujal Village exhibition is a key attraction, highlighting Bundelkhand's journey from past struggles to present achievements. This exhibit educates visitors on the importance of water conservation and simple actions that can make a difference.

Reena from Mahoba, now living in Noida, expressed joy at seeing transformation stories she had only heard over the phone come alive at the exhibition.

Shalu from Delhi mentioned that while she knew about water being transported by train to Bundelkhand, seeing models of old and new Bundelkhand made the Jal Jeevan Mission's impact tangible and inspiring. On Friday, traditional Bundelkhandi songs were performed, drawing large crowds and adding a cultural touch to the Swachh Sujal Village experience.
