Khati was awarded the 'Nirmal Puruskaar' by the President of India. The then Pradhan, Dhani Ram ji travelled all the way to New Delhi to receive it on behalf of the village. For a village this remote, this was such a proud moment that people still can be heard celebrating it when they speak about the felicitation. Seen here is the Nirmal Gram Puruskaar certificate awarded to Khati.

- Project: The Wise Wall Project is an initiative by Project FUEL and FUEL Foundation to document the rural wisdom of our villages and celebrate it through art murals. The initiative transforms villages into living classrooms, turning the walls of the same onto blackboards and canvases that uncover striking yet simple life learnings. The project aims to ignite a movement of transforming the long forgotten villages into open-air galleries, exhibiting human wisdom for anyone and everyone in the world to see and benefit from. In the second edition of the Wise Wall Project, Project FUEL collaborated with the Hans Foundation to collect and paint the life lessons of the villagers of Khati. Khati has now become the second village after Saur, in the recent history to have a documented database of life lessons from an entire community. And as wishful as it gets, the village has now been transformed into a living storybook that tells the tales of Khati, like never before.
