Water Conservation
Our water conservation initiative focuses on various watershed management techniques such as bore-well recharge, canal repairs, wells, reservoir de-silting, digging trenches etc to make irrigation water available year round to farmers in drought affected areas of India.
Project Jal
With the water being a limited resource, effective management of water resources is critical to sustaining the crop yields. Project Jal is one of our most focused projects that emphasizes on effective utilization of rain water to refill or recharge the Bore-wells that can be used to water the farms year-round.
Through this project, we help needy, marginal farmers in drought affected areas, adopt rainwater harvesting techniques so they have a sustainable means of irrigation water throughout the year. read more
