A two-day organic farming incentive programme was organised recently at Bhatgaon in the district. Corporate and Chief Sustainability Officer, Mitesh Pandya from Vedanta Group chaired the programme.
Addressing the function, Pandya said, “Availability of water may lead to positive changes in life. For this, members of Self Help Groups need to work together so that more and more people could avail benefits of Watershed and Jal Gram Project of Bharat Aluminium Company ltd.”
President of Bhatgaon Jalgrahan Samiti Bajrang Rathiya in his address said, “Bhatgaon village has been benefited from the execution of watershed project of BAlCO that has increased the water level of wells up to 1 metre.
Earlier, only a hand full of farmers used to produce vegetables, but after the implementation of the project, Bhatgaon farmers supply vegetables to all nearby markets and villages.”
‘Strot’ NGO President Dickson Maseeh and officials of Aroh Foundation were also present in the programme.
