The effort is going to be effortless lifting the pump

One of the sour point is lifting the pipe assembly from borewell manually everytime you need to access the pump or repair something.  It requires 4 people to pull the pipe assembly of around 100 feet with a rope.

Pipes, inside rod, pump and water will weigh over 300 Kg to 500 Kg.

 Last time on my visit to the farm,  I had purchased a pully fastened to the tower for pulling the rope effortlessly. Still it requires two employees and two hires costing around 1000/- on labor for every incident.  And the "pull" also will be rough and may hurt the pipe or people.

In order to reduce the manual effort and make it more easy, I have decided to go for chain block.

A chain is a kind of geared pully which will lift heavy objects.  For our application we wanted to go for 3 Ton.  Actually 1 Ton would be sufficient. But I reasoned that once we have this device, it can be used in future for any kind of material that we want to lift. Say a Cow !

A 3 Ton chain block with 3 meter lift would be around INR 8.5K and is ordered from Coimbatore.  This will reach the farm just in time when our new pump from Navi Mumbai also will reach.  That should be comfortable for Subbu.
