Ahilyanagar (2025) – The Watershed Development Fund (WDF) Project at Mathani-Balewadi, funded by NABARD and supported by Tata Power Community Development Trust (TPCDT) as CSR partner, was implemented by Bosco Gramin Vikas Kendra (BGVK) with remarkable results.

Post-monsoon, the constructed watershed structures—including farm bunding, continuous contour trenches (CCT), water absorption trenches (WAT), stone outlets, and a check dam—successfully harvested and retained rainwater.

The improved water availability has reduced soil erosion, enhanced agricultural productivity, and ensured irrigation security, leading to higher crop yields and improved livelihoods. Farmers expressed deep gratitude to NABARD, TPCDT, and BGVK for transforming their village through sustainable watershed management.
