Siegwerk India CSR project hands over restored pond
India
Siegwerk India restored and handed over a pond at Dhaki village to the villagers, keeping up the commitment to the community around its manufacturing facility at Bhiwadi. The project of restoring the pond and increasing ToF (Trees outside Forest) cover in Dhaki Village of Tijara Block, Alwar, Rajasthan was taken up by the company in partnership with the Center for Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability Excellence (CCSE) to promote water resource management.
The pond restoration project started when Siegwerk identified a water crisis in the village of Dhaki, during a survey of 185 households. It came to light that, for 93 percent of the households, tube wells are the chief source of irrigation while seven percent of the households irrigate with micro-irrigation, which shows dependence on groundwater that is being depleted due to overuse.
The effects of the project will increase recharge capacity of the pond after de-siltation and construction of two new recharge shafts. During the current monsoon, ground water has improved and the water levels have increased by five feet. The initiative has improved the greenery around the pond with the planting of more than 500 medicinal plants. Various varieties of fish were introduced into the water to keep it clean and also as a source of livelihood for the villagers. The entire area has been beautified with landscaping, benches, and a gazebo for the recreation of the locals. The pond now attracts many migratory birds.
