The MANAVLOK team worked on reclaiming saline soil in the villages of Shirur Block, Pune (Project: Lavan2020). We assisted in desilting and provided advisory assistance to the villagers about saline soil management and micro-irrigation techniques. Overall, the project helped rejuvenate the 16 km stream by deepening & widening it. We also implemented compartment bunding on 2000 acres to reduce soil salinity and groundwater runoff, thereby directly benefiting 400 families.
