Watch an inspiring documentary created on this initiative that captures major accomplishments so far. The project largely focuses on themes that include -- water security, livelihood, and education.
In Gujarat's Sidhpur, CSR interventions span 12 villages with dedicated focus on women empowerment, youth skilling and provision of clean water.
Various water resource management structures like construction and repair of farm bunds and ponds, borewell recharge units, roof rainwater harvesting structures and other conservation. These initiatives combined with adopting micro irrigation techniques, aim to enhance agricultural productivity. The project focusses to benefit thousands of small & marginal farmers, women through Self-help groups and youth through skilling initiatives. By providing essential resources and training, we help in building self-reliance and improving livelihoods.
We are committed to connecting the villagers with several government schemes to enhance social security. Additionally, we aim to make these villages ODF free ensuring a healthier living environment for all.
