Rural Development and Empowerment

The foundation continues to play an active role in helping farmers in the water-deficient Parli district of Maharashtra to improve their annual incomes. Apart from direct employment of 100+ employees, we have also created indirect employment at various levels through new nurseries being established, new dealers to buy produce, labour at the farms, and processing units which currently are being set up around the clusters where we also have undertaken plantations.

Apart from the above, we carried out a water management project for rainwater harvesting in the Parli village. We also support the Global Vikas Trust which is working with horticulture and plantation projects in the Parli village as well.

Along with 'ManavSeva Mandal', we helped the Central Chinmaya Mission Trust to construct a pond for rainwater harvesting to provide drinking water and maintain sufficient groundwater levels.

Lastly, we have created infrastructure to facilitate drinking water at the Govali village in Gujarat, which resulted in a fully Automatic RO Plant generating around 24.000 to 30.000 litres of water daily.
