| Amount Utilized (INR) | 2084251 |
| Project Description | Soil and Water Conservation project helped farmers in Yavatmal and Wardha district to conserve the top most fertile soil. This soil otherwise runs away from the farm lands in the monsoons making the land arid. Additionally rain water also runs away in the monsoons and gets wasted. This project ensures that the top fertile soil stays in the farm and rain water is also stored in specially created and dug pits. Retaining the water in these pits helps availability of this water to farmers way past monsoons and also helps increase the ground water table of the land. |
