It is most critical to human existence and it is also the principal ingredient in our product. Our responsibility therefore is a little more. As a company, we are increasingly focusing on implementing water replenish Plus projects, which benefit the community in more ways than one. Our previous projects - drip irrigation projects in Rajasthan, mango farming projects in Jalgaon, watershed development projects in Thirunelveli and Dungarpur, have showed us the way. We are building on those learnings, as we undertake these two new projects in MP and Maharashtra. We have already earmarked Rs. 10 crores as our monetary contribution to the project, but more than that, we are excited by the opportunity to work with the local community and civil society organisations in some of the most underdeveloped areas of the country.
