Chandigarh 04th July:- Dhanuka Agritech Limited, India’s
leading agrochemicals company, has won the ASSOCHAM Water Management Excellence
Award 2018 in the ‘Excellence in the field of water education and
awareness’ category. The company has been awarded for promoting water
conservation for farmers/villages at various levels.
Recognizing
the impending scarcity of water nearly a decade ago, the company has been
educating and spreading awareness on water conservation. This year the company
organized a national-level summit on water sustenance.
Expressing
his thoughts on the win R.G. Agarwal, Chairman Dhanuka Agritech Ltd., said
that we are extremely happy and honoured to receive this
award by ASSOCHAM. This award is a testimony to the work done
by Dhaunka over the last 10 years towards the
betterment of farmers. Our company has
taken multiple initiatives and provided innovative solutions to
farmers for conserving water. A recognition of our efforts
inspires us to continue serving farmers through our initiatives.
Dhanuka’s
flagship campaign ‘Khet
ka pani khet mein aur gaon ka pani gaon mein’
is now more than a decade old, under which it has undertaken multiple
initiatives to popularize water conservation practices. Every year, the company
celebrates World Water Day in partnership with prestigious National
Institutes and State Agricultural Universities and organizes educative
lecturers by industry leaders on water conservation.
Further, more
than 1,100 field staff organize farmers’ meetings across the country,
educating them on water conservation in the field, and also organize
multiple activities in schools across India. The activities are designed to
raise awareness about the importance of water conservation among
children. To conserve rainwater, the company has funded the
construction of check dams at Jugalpura, Devipura (District Sikar),
Mainpura ki Dhani and Sankotra, (Jaipur district), Rajasthan, which are
now fully operational and have been filled with rainwater. The company is also
implementing various water harvesting units
in various parts of Rajasthan so that farmers have access to water
for irrigation. In addition, Dhanukahad made a ‘community
water centre’ in Banethi Village in Rajasthan for providing fluoride-free
safe drinking water to people. The company strongly supports the government’s
agenda for water conservation for irrigation and
promotes ‘Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana’ for enhanced water
efficiency through `Per Drop More Crop’.
