Climate Impact Management

Project Prakruti

The project stands as a testament to the commitment for promoting green cover as well as providing livelihood opportunities for the farmers. The project aims to reach this goal by promoting horticulture plantation and dense forestation projects through Miyawaki plantation. The horticulture plantation project helps in the economic development of the farming community by converting barren lands into fertile land.

Jalvaibhav

Climate change has severely affected farmers across India. In order to restore the ecosystem and empower marginalised farmers, we implemented the Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) project called ‘Jalvaibhav’ in the Marathwada region of Maharashtra in FY16.

The project focused on maintaining and enhancing surface water availability, increasing groundwater levels, and preventing soil erosion to ensure sustainability and ongoing benefits for the rural communities. Additionally, the capacities of Water User Groups (WUGs) were strengthened through workshops on water structure maintenance and efficient management. Project 'Jalvaibhav' resulted in a replenishment of ~183 lakh KL of water during FY24.

Jalvaibhav 2.0 was launched in 2024 in Kolar region on Karnataka with a focus to increase water availability for cultivation and enhancing crop productivity. The project also includes initiatives like setting up of farmer field schools, creating water structures like Cement-Nala Bunds, Contour Bunding, Farm Bunding, Farm Ponds, etc.
