Through this project, 784 structures were constructed this year to conserve soil and water during the monsoon. These structures reduce the flow of running water, helping it to seep into the ground and increase the groundwater level preventing soil erosion and felling of trees.

2023-24 highlights

• constructed 106 gully plugs 24 gabion structures
• constructed 106 stone bunds, 165 farm bunds and four farm ponds
• constructed 368 trenches and 11 other structures
