Water is the lifeblood of agriculture, and access to it determines the success and prosperity of countless farmers across our nation. Recognizing the challenges faced by farmers due to water scarcity, Yeluri Foundation launched the Saagu Neeru initiative—a campaign dedicated to ensuring sustainable water resources for agricultural needs.
Saagu Neeru is more than just an initiative; it’s a commitment to empowering farmers, sustaining livelihoods, and fostering food security. Here’s how this transformative campaign is making a difference:
Addressing the Core Issue
Agriculture is heavily dependent on water, yet many farmers struggle to access this critical resource due to inadequate infrastructure, droughts, or bureaucratic hurdles. Saagu Neeru was designed to bridge these gaps, ensuring that water reaches the fields where it is needed the most.
How Saagu Neeru Supports Farmers
Financial Assistance for Bore Wells
For farmers in areas with depleted water tables, digging bore wells is often the only solution. Saagu Neeru provides financial support to help cover the costs of bore well installation, ensuring a steady and reliable water supply.
Clearing Pathways for Water Routes
Many farmers face issues with blocked or inefficient water channels. The campaign works to clear lanes and improve water routes, ensuring that irrigation systems function smoothly and efficiently.
Advocacy with Government Bodies
Bureaucratic red tape can often delay critical water supply projects. Saagu Neeru actively engages with government officials and departments to expedite permissions, approvals, and implementations. This ensures farmers receive timely assistance without unnecessary delays.
Collaborative Solutions
In regions where collective efforts are needed, Saagu Neeru brings communities together to create shared resources like check dams, ponds, and small reservoirs. These structures provide long-term solutions for water management and storage.
Educating Farmers on Water Conservation
The initiative also focuses on educating farmers about sustainable water usage practices, such as drip irrigation and rainwater harvesting. These techniques help maximize the efficiency of available water resources.
A Call to Action
Saagu Neeru is more than an initiative; it’s a lifeline for our farmers. Let’s work together to ensure that every drop counts and every farmer thrives.
