enriching lives

For Bajaj Foundation, strengthening farming communities forms the core of its mission. Nowhere is this more visible than in Maharashtra’s Wardha district, which became famous after Mahatma Gandhi set up his revered Sevagram ashram there.

A strong and empowered farming community is indispensable to our nation’s sustainable development agenda. In Wardha, the Foundation — with the help of local farming communities — has worked tirelessly to revive local river systems and address the challenge of water availability.

Through sustainable agricultural practices, innovative use of technology and continued support, we’re transforming lives every day.

Bajaj Foundation is helping village economies become aatmanirbhar (self-reliant) through need-based interventions and by bolstering core infrastructure. The concept was disseminated to more than 50,000 families among rural communities across the districts of Wardha, Sikar and Lalitpur. The Foundation also constructed 9 km of cement concrete roads, 42 km roads for connectivity, and provided 49 need-based community assets.
