ACC, the cement and building material company of the diversified Adani Portfolio, is committed to facilitating modern farming and efficient water management solutions in communities where it operates. Through CSR efforts, Adani Foundation has been able to significantly impact the lives of 18 farmers by addressing long-standing water scarcity issues in Gowari village near ACC Chanda.Gowari village, located in the Wani Taluka of Yavatmal district, has faced persistent water shortages due to unreliable rainfall and arid conditions. For 41-year-old farmer, Bhaskar Ramchandra Wasekar, this challenge was a daily struggle. With only 4 hours of water per day from his borewell, Bhaskar 39;s ability to cultivate his 8.07 hectares of land was severely restricted,impacting his income and future prospects.The Adani Foundation collaborated with Dilasa Janvikas Pratishthan to initiate a project to build a Cement Nala Bund (CNB), with the aim of improving water retention and recharging the groundwater table. Completed in the 2023-24, the CNB has proven transformative. Water availability on Bhaskar’s land has increased by 75% to 7 hours per day, enabling him to expand his cultivable area by 11.78%, from 6.15 to 7.10 hectares.
