MICRO-WATERSHED DEVELOPMENT

Micro-watershed development can be considered as one of the best programs in rural development, both in terms of immediate and targeted effects. It improves the quality of life of villagers through increased productivity of the land, availability of water—surface and ground, an increase in the vegetation cover, improving cattle health resulting in higher milk production, and improving the overall environment by tree plantation. If implemented in a technically sound manner and socially with the participation of people, this programme is capable of transforming the whole village(s).

Through years of experience, Sadguru Foundation has developed unparallel technical competency and social mobilization necessary for the success of this highly participatory program. The best aspect of the Foundation’s approach is the massive convergence of various programs which have limited or no scope under the original program design due to limitations of funds and other factors. We ensure the immense convergence of various activities outside the original design; as a result, the impact of our watershed project is glaringly different. Cumulatively, over the years, we have treated 1,04,633 acres of the land, directly under our activities. Sadguru has undertaken various watershed development program in the states of Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh with the funds provided by NABARD, Government of Rajasthan under IWMP and government of Madhya Pradesh under IWMP, Coca-Cola foundation, and Anandana Foundation.
