Bhormal, Nashik

Solar Powered Group Irrigation
13 pumps, 110 farmers, 102.5 HP installed
Completed on: March 2024
Since March 2023, in a span of less than one year, Sevavardhini & technical
partner, Gram Oorja ensured the installation and commissioning of 13 group
irrigation systems in the Bhormal region of Surgana block in Nashik District.
With a combined pipeline length of over 13.2 Km, combined capacity of 102.5
HP. These pumping systems will ensure the cultivation of 90+ acres of land that
was previously left uncultivated, benefiting over 110 farmers. The project has
already led to an increase in agricultural productivity, food security and rural
sustainability.
Momentum has developed in the region due to the projects. Looking at the completed projects & the pace and efficiency with which they were installed, farmer groups from across the region are contacting the NGO, asking for a similar intervention in their village. A further ten feasible groups consisting of 100+ farmers have been identified and surveyed in the Bhormal region, and there may be more such groups with similar needs.
