Polamoney Buchaya, 63, and his wife Bugamma, 54, transitioned to farming after Buchaya’s heart attack in 2020, cultivating green leafy vegetables on leased land. Supported by WOTR and HSBC, they adopted rainpipe irrigation, enhancing water efficiency and crop yield. This shift increased their earnings significantly, providing a steady income. Their success has inspired other farmers in their village to adopt similar practices.
Jalna’s water-scarce rural communities found hope through the transformative PPCP project. Between 2014 and 2019, WOTR, in collaboration with Hindustan Unilever Foundation and the Maharashtra government, undertook an integrated watershed development initiative, leading to the empowerment of local communities. As a result, water levels have significantly improved, soil productivity has been revived, and farmers have gained newfound empowerment.
