Project Urvi

This initiative includes implementing a series of water conservation interventions like construction of check dams, dug out ponds, farm ponds, nallah deepening, field bunding in the nearby villages for meaningful utilisation of the water resources, regeneration of water bodies and such allied interventions.

Building check dams provides an effective way of harvesting rainwater. The larger measure is supplemented by roof-water harvesting. This accumulated mass ensures perennial availability of water, while also improving groundwater levels significantly. Increasing the number of months that water is available for livelihood results in better income for farmers.

Village Level Committees are formed to enhance ownership and involvement of villagers.
