Himachal Pradesh
Himachal Pradesh faces acute water scarcity, particularly during the lean season, which impacts agricultural productivity and rural livelihoods. The rugged terrain and soil erosion exacerbate these challenges, while limited access to reliable irrigation and modern farming techniques hinders farmers' ability to thrive.
MVS is working to transform these challenges into opportunities through a series of targeted interventions. Our Watershed Development programs focus on restoring natural water systems and improving soil moisture retention.
Our Watershed Development programs focus on restoring natural water systems and improving soil moisture retention. By constructing water harvesting structures and developing spring sheds, we ensure year-round access to irrigation facilities. Sustainable Agriculture initiatives introduce eco-friendly farming practices that conserve soil and water resources. We empower women by creating economic opportunities and fostering leadership through Farmer Producer Organizations. The Seed Bank program preserves local crop diversity, while Agro-Horticulture plantations and kitchen gardening improve food security and household incomes. Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting projects provide a vital water source, especially in remote villages, building climate resilience for the entire community.
