Watershed management

EFICOR facilitates local communities in the conservation, regeneration and development of their natural resources.

Various methods of land treatment like  land levelling, field bunding are undertaken, wells constructed and farm ponds dug in some locations to harvest rainwater.  EFICOR also assists in building vermi-compost pits, installing biogas plants and raising horticultural saplings and nurseries.

Agriculture

Marginal farmers are trained on integrated watershed management techniques and on conservation of rural natural resources to recharge ground water level and improve soil moisture thus contributing to a sustainable environment.
