Climate Change
Climate change is an economic, public, health, and environmental issue that we have a moral responsibility to address - BRAD SCHNEIDER
Why focus on Climate Change?
Agriculture production is unable to meet the demand of the growing population. The challenge is intensified by agriculture’s extreme vulnerability to climate change. Climate change’s negative impacts are already being felt in the form of increasing temperatures, weather variability, shifting agroecosystem boundaries, invasive crops and pests, and more frequent extreme weather events. On farms, climate change is reducing crop yields, major cereals’ nutritional quality, and livestock productivity. Therefore, we diligently mitigate climate change by cultivating the capacity for Climate Resilient Agriculture among farmers. Through our programs, we aspire to shape a brighter future, taking comprehensive action that safeguards the well-being of current as well as upcoming generations.

2022 - 2023Climate Sakhi - Supported by Deloitte
The Climate Sakhi Pilot Project was launched in Mahendragarh, Haryana, aiming to empower women farmers and promote sustainable agriculture against climate change. It began with ten Climate Sakhis and expanded to 700 farmers across three phases. The Climate Sakhis received comprehensive training in diverse, sustainable farming techniques. Leading to the adoption of Azolla farming, boosting livestock feed for 50 households. Napier grass cultivation saved on cattle feeding costs, yielding 30,000 tons. Additionally, 50 vermicompost pits constructed during the project are expected to produce 15 tonnes of compost annually. High-quality seed cultivation on 50 acres increased yields while leveling 10 acres improved water usage. Micro-irrigation on 12 acres is set to save 11,73,060 gallons of water yearly. Planting 20,000 fruit trees enhanced a 170-acre green cover. Bio-pesticide training enabled non-pesticide farming on 160 acres, incorporating bio-pesticides and composting. Exposure visits and weather apps enriched the women farmers' knowledge. Embracing climate-smart farming reduced vulnerability, alleviated poverty, and improved economic well-being through increased income and cost-saving measures.

Jal Khushali & Jal Akshay - Supported by United Breweries Limited
In collaboration with United Breweries Limited (UBL), we initiated two transformative projects, 'Jal Khushali' in Chopanki, Alwar, and 'Jal Akshay' in Dharuhera, Rewari. These initiatives focus on harnessing rainwater and recharging the groundwater to combat water scarcity and effectively benefit the local community. Under the project, we have yielded vital water harvesting structures to harness the rainwater; other than that, we have made recharge wells and soak wells to ensure water gets back to the ground where it's needed. Our concerted efforts have led to the design and implementation of rejuvenating ponds across ten distinct regions in the Chopanki and Dharuhera. These sites underwent meticulous processes such as dewatering, soil excavation, embankment construction, and the creation of deep bore recharge wells, all culminating in the generation of these ponds. The scope of our work extended beyond functional aspects and embraced the enhancement of aesthetic and community-driven features. Hence, we also worked on building amenities like animal ramps, solar-powered lighting installations, and comfortable seating arrangements to brighten up the place and breathe new life into the local communities by transforming them into a community hub.

Dairy Development
We are driven by the purpose of uplifting small and marginal dairy farmers. Hence, have strategically taken the Dairy Development Program with the purpose of improving animal productivity, creating an effective value chain and building capacity of the farmers. Our overarching goal is to promote the development of dairy farmers by increasing their income while ensuring the overall viability of the dairy sector.
Sustainable Agriculture
The agriculture sector faces significant challenges, such as small land holdings, a lack of infrastructure, poor-quality input supplies, and a lack of modern scientific knowledge etc. To address these issues, we work with the farmers, helping them adopt the best farming practices through regular training and enhancing their farm income through value chain development.
Education
We strive to make quality education accessible to students across our operational areas by equipping them with the advanced infrastructure and environment where students can flourish, providing them with an educational experience that goes hand in hand with the demands of the modern era.
Rural Development
We facilitate and propel regional development in Rural areas by placing a strong emphasis on infrastructure development. We strive to build the capacities of rural communities and identify agents of change from those communities to lead to the overall development of our operational areas.
