26 November 2024: Worldline India has announced its continued support for the Jal Sanjeevani initiative under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, which has significantly promoted water conservation and improved livelihoods in rural Maharashtra. As part of its commitment to sustainable development, Worldline India’s CSR arm enabled the desilting and rejuvenating of 26 water bodies, contributing to a storage capacity of 29.5 crore liters (295 million liters) of water. This initiative has played a pivotal role in enhancing groundwater levels, benefiting over 2,000 farmers and providing a direct positive impact to 285 farmers through using enriched silt for farming.
The project, spearheaded by the Indivish Welfare Foundation, began in April 2023 and spanned multiple regions across Maharashtra, including Murbad, Marathwada, and other areas. The intervention is expected to improve water availability for agriculture, livestock, and fishing, and will help farmers access much-needed water for a second crop during the dry season.
Worldline India’s support for the project, including its contribution in March 2024, reflects the company’s ongoing dedication to driving positive social impact through meaningful, sustainable initiatives. By partnering with local communities, volunteers, and the government, Worldline India is helping create a more water-secure future for the communities in the region.
Ramesh Narasimhan, Chief Executive Officer – Worldline India said, “We at Worldline are excited to collaborate with the Indivish Welfare Foundation on the project Jal Sanjeevani. Their dedicated efforts in water conservation have positively impacted thousands of lives across Maharashtra. A reliable water source, particularly in rural areas, is crucial for ensuring a steady supply of water for agriculture and other essential needs. Worldline is committed to its corporate social responsibility mission of creating long-term value by addressing critical environmental challenges, as we work towards building a more ‘green’ future.”
Shrikant Joshi, Founder and Director, of the Indivish Welfare Society said, “We would like to express our gratitude to Worldline India for their commitment to rejuvenating water bodies. Our goal is to enhance our surroundings and improve the livelihoods of the people in India. Our initiatives focused on water conservation and the revitalization of water bodies have a positive impact on farmers, the Annadatas of our country, and the environment. We look forward to collaborating with Worldline India to broaden our efforts and expand our positive influence on society as a whole.”
