The SBI Gram Saksham project focuses on watershed development and water security in Palghar, Maharashtra, enabling year-round irrigation and sustainable agriculture through the creation of farm ponds, wells, and community-led efforts.<\/p>\n
Along with improving water access, the initiative promotes organic farming and enhanced rural agricultural practices, ensuring higher and sustainable income for farmers and strengthening their livelihoods.<\/p>\n
This has led to multiple cropping cycles, increased productivity, and reduced migration across tribal communities.<\/p>\n
