Jaigurudev everyone!

At a follow up 2 weeks back, a volunteer shared about water restoration projects that farmers in Latur district (of Maharashtra) & Art of Living volunteers had started 2 years back, to cope up with water scarcity problems faced by people there (as he mentioned, in some places water used to come once in 8 days!!).

The attached presentation is self-explanatory. And as shared by the volunteer Arnab Chakraborty, each project costs b/w 10 - 40 Lakh Rupees. So, please have a look at the presentation and if possible, help in any of the following avenues:

- Raising money for projects; be it in individual capacity or as a CSR initiative from companies

- Media outreach (specifically English; there has been good coverage by Marathi newspapers)

- Share with students (specially from Management schools) or people working in Agriculture / Water restoration sectors: Shall be a good practical case study / technical learning avenue for them

- Share with people who might be able to help in the cause

Please share any ideas that you may have :)

I'm copying Arnab bhaiya too, who shared with us about the initiative.

Jgd!

Jaigurudev everyone!

Here's a short film demonstrating immense work done by farmers, volunteers & administrators; resulting in water conservation in Maharashtra districts. Released just a few days back. Really inspiring!
