Making India Drought Resistant Tahaan- the NGO which is run by people like us coming from different genre of society, took up this responsibility of making water reach every village of Maharashtra and later spread our wings to other parts of the country too where our services are needed. OUR AIM IS TO MAKE THE SOCIETY AWARE WHY WATER IS THE ELIXIR AND WHY SMART USE AND COLLECTION OF IT WILL BE BENEFICIAL FOR A PERSON IN THE LONG RUN. Year 2016: We provided more than 520 tankers (Project costed us around 7 Lakh Rs.) to different drought affected villages to alleviate their immediate need for water. To spread awareness about water conservation, we conducted more than 24 street plays across these villages. One of the reasons that contribute to a man made drought is cutting down of trees. With the buy-in of the villagers, we organized a tree plantation drive supported by the government of Maharashtra where we planted 4500 trees across these villages, and devised programs to ensure the survival of the trees. Year 2017 We did a prototype of an urban tree-adoption program at the Taljai hills, where the community adopted around 300 trees(planted last year) to ensure their survival over the summer when the hill is short of water. Post the summer, we did a survey to analyse the survival rate of the trees, which came out to be more than 80%(on an average, tree adoption rate of random plantation is 5-20 %). To promote the notion of conserving water, we also had a drawing competition for the visitors at Taljai.
