Watershed Development Programme

Most of the agriculture in Maharashtra is rain-fed i.e. dryland. That is why this agriculture has many limitations. To eliminate them, watershed and water conservation is a very good option. The purpose of this scheme is to develop wasteland and increase the number of jobs through it while conserving valuable water and equally valuable soil. The existing land resources will be protected and improved. It is for this purpose that in the state since 2002, under the Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Jal-Bhoomi Sandharan Abhiyan, a resolution has been taken to conserve groundwater resources. Local NGOs and rural people are involved in this campaign.

Watershed Development Programme

Om Adinath Sevabhavi Sanstha has successfully demonstrated in a village fighting against drought that a whole village can be transformed through sheer willpower coupled with hard work and people’s participation. Through the DPAP (DROUGHT PRONE AREAS PROGRAMME) central government scheme, Sangli Zilla Parishad through DRDA, Om Adinath Sanstha got some villages in Jat, Tasgaon, Kavthemahankal, under the Watershed Development Programme. Balasaheb Honmore and his colleagues took up the task of all-round development of the village under the Watershed Development Programme.
Jat Taluka: 1) Shinganhali 2) Sonyal 3) Yeldari 4) Gugwad.
Kavthe Mahankal Taluka: 1) Rayewadi.
Tasgaon Taluka: 1) Nagewadi 2) Jarandi, etc have worked in villages.

The villagers have solved the problem of water for agriculture and drinking water in the entire village through the successful water conservation works in this village and the water storage scheme of the Shivkalin. Various activities have been implemented in the village on the occasion of Sant Gadgebaba Gram Swachhata Abhiyan. Hagandari Mukta village was started from the village “Nirmal Gram Yojana”. A toilet has been built at a low cost that even a poor family can afford. Agriculture was barren due to three years of drought. People understood the importance of water. Realizing the opportunity of this environment, Om Adinath Sanstha convinced the government to money and people’s participation and planned “Water Budgeting”. Villages became self-sufficient from water by doing soil drainage, cement nalabad, C.T., loose border, Ardan Ikchar, etc. on barren fields, and after abundant water village youth, employed self-help groups, and trained farmers in modern agriculture. They have conducted study tours. Milk production increased and the village became self-sufficient.

One of these, the success story of Nagewadi village in Tasgaon taluk, was published in Sahyadri Doordarshan Delhi under the title “Ek Gaon Ki Kahani”. The villages worked by the organization have received awards in various fields.
