  • Water Conservation Initiatives

    Comprehensive watershed development in drought-stricken Pune and Nagpur includes deepening and widening streams, constructing cement and earthen dams, and digging farm ponds to boost groundwater levels. The ridge-to-valley approach conserves rainwater by detaining, diverting, storing, and using it effectively from ridge to valley. Open wells were constructed to improve water accessibility, with villagers contributing 10%. This has led to better water management, agricultural stability, crop diversification, improved health, and reduced daily labour for women, enhancing overall productivity.
