The project is set to transform 10,000 hectares of farmland and uplift the lives of over 15,000 people, marking a milestone in rural revival.

By Rusen Kumar

Parli (Beed)/Maharashtra (India CSR): The first phase of deepening and widening a 4-kilometer stretch of the Gunwara River flowing through Tapovan village in the Parli region of Maharashtra’s Beed district has been successfully completed. Led by Mayank Gandhi, Global Vikas Trust is spearheading this ambitious project with the goal of reviving a total of 10 kilometers of the river.

Impact on Agriculture and Livelihoods

In an interaction with India CSR, Mayank Gandhi shared that the project is expected to directly benefit 10,000 hectares of farmland and around 15,000 people. This will lead to a transformation in the region’s agrarian economy and raise the standard of living of its residents.

Gunwara River: Lifeline of Parli Region

Originating from the Balaghat hills, the 30-kilometer-long Gunwara River eventually merges with the Godavari River. It is a lifeline for the Parli region. The river’s revival is expected to solve the area’s longstanding water crisis. Earlier, groundwater levels had fallen to 400–500 feet. Now, they are likely to rise to just 50–60 feet. This will not only make water available for drinking and household use but also significantly improve irrigation.

***

Vision Behind the Project

Addressing the villagers, Mayank Gandhi said, “A village draws its strength from its rivers. When a river flows, the village breathes. Our aim is not just river cleaning, but the holistic upliftment of rural life.” He also mentioned that the project was launched based on the success of similar efforts on the Papanashi River in Parli taluka and at Rui village in Gevrai taluka.

Relief for Local Farmers

Villagers shared that the region is known for cultivating soybean, cotton, tur, chana, jowar, sugarcane, mulberry, and custard apple. However, recurring water shortages in recent years had severely impacted farming. The river rejuvenation project is expected to restore irrigation, allowing farmers to cultivate regularly and profitably once again.

They described the initiative as a historic step that will benefit future generations. The project not only addresses the water crisis but also strengthens environmental balance, agricultural output, and the rural economy.

He was joined by his wife Minal Gandhi, Bharat Gandhi Trust co-founder Dr. Wage, local sarpanch Chandrakant Karad, Sidhu Karad, and Sangeet Charaya Kanse.

Community Participation Turns Project into a Movement

The event saw enthusiastic participation from local panchayat representatives, farmers, and hundreds of villagers. Their collective support transformed the initiative into a people’s movement. Villagers appreciated the efforts of the trust and contributed wholeheartedly to the project’s success.
