    In the sweltering summer heat, our water conservation efforts are bringing hope to villages. By reducing dependency on water tankers, we are ensuring our communities have access to reliable water, a lifeline in the face of climate change. As extreme weather events become more frequent, these steps become vital for building climate resilience. Sustainable farming methods are helping farmers prosper by increasing their incomes. Women, who have borne the brunt of climate change impacts and have historically been underrepresented in decision-making, are now gaining the authority to manage water resources. Our efforts are not only quenching the thirst of the land but rekindling the hopes and dreams of the communities. These achievements wouldn't have been possible without the support of Vanarai Trust Sagar DhariaTata Trusts CMF - A heartfelt thank you!

    Sudarshan Chemical Industries Ltd., in collaboration with the Vanarai Trust successfully implemented a Springshed Development project aimed at revitalizing natural water sources (springs) and improving water supply in Sukhadarekond village, Mahad, Raigad. The inauguration ceremony of this project was conducted under the guidance of Mrs. Madhuri Sanas, Head of Sudarshan Company's CSR Department. A significant turnout of villagers and women marked the launch event in Sukhadarekond. The project activities included - Construction of an RCC tank with a capacity of 7000 liters. Installation of 722 meters of 2.5-inch HDPE pipeline. Establishment of a 5000-liter tank for water storage. Construction of a retaining wall for the tank. Implementation of other plumbing connections, etc. Before the project, women in Sukhadarekond had to travel 500 to 600 meters to fetch water, consuming half of their day. However, with the completion of the water supply project, the time spent on fetching water reduced significantly, allowing them to engage in other productive activities. The project has benefitted 45 families and approximately 225 individuals in the village. The villagers express their gratitude to Sudarshan Company and Vanarai trust for their support in addressing the water scarcity issue in the village.
