Three years ago, Maheshwaram Panduranga and his wife Manga faced a severe water crisis on their 3-acre farm in Loyapally, Telangana. With help from WOTR and HSBC, they constructed a farm pond, significantly improving water levels. They then ventured into fish farming, earning substantial profits and transforming their financial situation. The couple now enjoys a better lifestyle and serves as an inspiration for others in their village.
Nature, with its highly erratic behaviour, coupled with inadequate water conservation measures, has left villages grappling with severe drought situations like water scarcity, dependency on tankers, crop failure, and distressed migration. Umara is one of the participating villages in Kalamb block. In this village, two check dams are constructed through project support, bringing about a transformative change.
