S M Sehgal Foundation hosted a Conference to share good practices and challenges in rural development initiatives in Aurangabad, Maharashtra on December 16, 2021.

The government, corporates and NGOs have been working together to address the development challenges in Aurangabad district, located in the heart of Maharashtra, also known for world famous tourist and heritage sites. The district often hits the headlines due to frequent droughts, errant rainfall and distress migration. Poor rainfall affects agriculture severely which ultimately affects the income of families. These challenges can only be tackled by appropriate development initiatives around water, soil conservation and, awareness of farmers on suitable agricultural practices.

S M Sehgal Foundation has completed a number of development initiatives in Phulambari, Sillod and Paithan blocks on improving rainwater harvesting capacity of the villages through resource augmentation, creating facilities for better access to clean drinking water, transforming schools, increasing crop productivity of farms through adoption of better agriculture practices and building capacity of communities to manage the development initiatives. The conference brought together stakeholders who shared their experiences given the geographical challenges, solutions implemented and the impacts.
