Ahmednagar – June 2024 – The Watershed Development Fund (WDF) project in the village of Mathani-Balewadi, funded by NABARD with Tata Power Community Development Trust (TPCDT) as a CSR partner and implemented by Bosco Gramin Vikas Kendra (BGVK), has had a significant impact on the local community. Post-rainfall, the watershed structures, including farm bunding, continuous contour trenches (CCT), water absorption trenches (WAT), and stone outlets, successfully accumulated water. This development has substantially benefited the farmers, who now express their happiness and gratitude towards NABARD, Pune, Tata Power Community Development Trust, and Bosco Gramin Vikas Kendra for this beneficial initiative. The improved water retention has enhanced agricultural productivity, reduced soil erosion, and ensured better water availability for farming activities, leading to increased agricultural yields and improved livelihoods for the villagers.
