Construction of Pond Farms- a commitment to the water conservation scheme

Under the Buldhana pattern initiative lead and driven by Honourable Minister of MoRTH, Government of India, Mr. Nitin Gadkari, construction of Farm ponds has been encouraged and promoted with vigour and focus. Major construction projects are expected to work towards this cause to contribute towards preservation of the depleting water table that is affecting not just the farming but also the lives of the flora and fauna in such regions.

Rajpath Infracon has pledged to be the Agent of change when it comes to conservation of the environment and its natural resources. Mass plantation drives have already been undertaken at all road construction project sites. Besides this, construction of Pond Farms has also been aggressively taken up- especially associated with this National Highway no. 6 road Project for water conservation. Just as this project work barely began, Rajpath Infracon has already successfully completed the construction of 34 such huge Farm ponds, collaborating with the local Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth (Agriculture University), Akola, as a part of the NHAI contract.

Such Pond farms constructed by Rajpath Infracon in this region at Anbhora-Sanjapur, Dalimbi, Dudhalam- Chandak, Jamthi, Kurum-Vadgaon, Mana, Madhapuri, Nipana-Oailpada, Pailpada, Rajuda-Sarode, Santoshpur, and such other locations have hugely contributed to ameliorate the grave situation of the water-starved villages in the region, this summer. Dried-up wells revived again as the water table rose, and also contributed to scaling up the irrigation capacity of these regions. Such commitment towards collection and conservation of water is yielding multiple benefits, and will continue to do so for years to come.
