Programs

  • Operation and Maintenance

    The organisation assists in the operation and maintenance of water pumps considering that access to water is determined largely due to this factor. The villages do not have facilities to address sudden breakdowns and access to skilled mechanics is limited. Haritika, partnering with Just a Drop has made alternative arrangements for the supply of drinking water through the use of solar energy, also imparting the required skills to maintain such structures to villagers.

  • Natural Resources Management

    Haritika is working on programmes to encourage the use of renewable energy, especially off-grid solar power plants. In partnership with Azure, it is working on a project to electrify villages with solar power.
